Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Looks like COS is doing some fine, self investigating again. What a lazy group of smurfs.
"You do the work, we'll take the credit."
They link to the original source. It would make no sense linking to Inforoo to see another link to the original source.
Someone send the information about the tweet to their website and they link to it. Why would they link to Inforoo?
We share/find information that's already available for everyone on the internet. CoS links to the original source after we share it on the boards.
If you would rather have CoS link to the forums linking to other sources again linking to other sources, a lot of links would not work. Inforoo is visible for everyone, but not every forum is as public as this one.

I think sometimes they just catch me while I'm grouchy.
Zac Brown Band is out. They released the festivals they are considering for 2013 and Bonnaroo is not on the list.
Awesome. With the Killers also being out are there any shittty headliners still in play? The Eagles and DMB are the only two I can think of (only one of whom is really awful, the other just a lame get).
They have started playing theaters on this last tour. No way do they not get a Which Stage.
If they put Luda in a tent they would put Grizzly Bear in a tent. It all depends on who else is playing that day and what time slots are available.
At the height of his popularity he coulda been a what stage act but he was pretty much a nostalgia act so a tent makes sense. Grizzly Bear is getting big right NOW, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got a which set.
I didnt know about the Grizzly Bear response, but I tweeted @grizzlybear and they favorited my tweet as well. I think with them responding in some way to 2 separate tweets it is safe to say they will be there. It is up on their favorites page.

Almost anytime some news breaks here people run to the comment section of COS or to CoS's twitter feed and give them the news. So in a way they may be taking info from us but I don't think they're just watching the inforoo boards.
Seriously....after we get some kind of confirmation or reply on twitter or some kind of poster has an inside hint/clue just go to CoS's bonnaroo page or their twitter and you'll see people (sometimes people on here) alerting them to the news.
I'm not sure why anyone would care about a music blog not crediting a message board. Why the need for approval?
Also, if someone at CNN saw a link on a message board to some news story, they would be crediting the original source, not some message board it was reposted on.
We have a great board here, lets just enjoy our investigative findings.
But... but we need the attention and recognition!! WE. NEED. IT.
It more goes back to earlier years when we'd find info on here and then it'd be reported on CoS and no credit was given anywhere....so people assumed CoS had all the inside connections.
Now they provide links to sources of rumors and more hesitant to post a "rumored" name but a few years back there weren't always "Source" links so it was frustrating that people were looking at CoS like it was this big insider for Roo rumors/leaks when really it was inforoo.
I did a #Roo13WishList tweet citing Digital Underground as my wish. I was promptly followed by Digital Underground's veryified account. Direct message is sent, hopefully I'll hear back. I would love to do the Humpty Dance on the farm.
I don't really care, I just think CoS sucks. They're the Huffington Post or Buzzfeed of music websites.
Agreed. And it's not even for the reasons mentioned on the previous page. Their writing is downright atrocious. It's like they don't even have an editor over there. At least not one that has a good handle on English grammar/spelling. Say what you will about tastemaker blogs like Pitchfork, at least Pitchfork's reviews don't contain typo after typo. Hell, most of the posts right here on Inforoo read smoother than the shiz CoS posts as "album reviews."
CoS does a good job of keeping me up to date on tours and festivals--I'm not denying that. But their actual writing is just awful.

I may have missed this earlier in this thread, but I emailed Big Gigantic's manager and they will not be at Roo -- "Thank you, but I don't think we will be there this year. Hope you can make it out to some other shows!"
: ( Sad because they were my best discovery last year, but happy because I have more new, amazing music to discover now!
