"No Sunlight" When I was young, lying in the grass I felt so safe in a warming bath Of sunlight Of sunlight
That sounds about right
Try post 12. We've already discussed this and other lyrics that MIGHT tie into the clue. I wouldn't consider one word or phrase as hard evidence. Especially when your example is referring to bathing in sunlight. That's incongruous with the picture and likely not what the clue makers had in mind.
This fits better with the radio clue:
"And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing And feel, feel what its like to be new"
"When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s And not one speck will remain"
Also, I realize the possibility that the interns might just be awful at making clues. We will just have to wait and see I guess.
I guess the main question is why was it cropped the way it was? Cropping out the word coffin so it wasn't so obvious?
I can think of three possibilities:
1) The photo was cropped intentionally in order to make Death Cab For Cutie appear to be a less obvious answer 2) The photo was cropped intentionally because the "Cars-R-Coffins" part is irrelevant and misleading (this would support an answer other than DCFC) 3) The photo was cropped sloppily because the interns are careless and inadequate (this wouldn't help us at all)
The photo as cropped bc it as posted to Instagram and was too large for the square format since it was a found image.
Last year I offered to physically print out one of the clue threads and eat it if I had the wrong answer.
I remember that. How did that turn out?
Just fine. It was that First Aid Kit clue, and I'm pretty sure by that point they had released tour dates that quasi-confirmed them as well. I think that was the clue that made me realize how little effort goes into these things on the intern side.
It could well be Drivin-n-Cryin. The art work on the shirt is a lot like the art work on Drivin-n-Cryin's oooeee EP. Drivin-n Cryin were on 688 records. Cars-R-Coffins a lot like Drivin-N-Cryin with a letter in the middle. But I talked with Kevn Kinney Drivin-n-Cryin singer a few years back & he thinks that Bonnaroo people do not like his band from several rejections. Kevn Kinney does do a solo act that is a lot like Bob Dylan & he sometimes has jammed with Sarah Lee Guthrie. Kevn Kinney solo on the Sonic Stage would be priceless the day after Drivin n Cryin in a tent. Keller Williams & also Widespread Panic do Drivin-n-Cryin covers.

Or the photo was cropped because it was posted on Instagram which requires 1:1 ratio images.
Yeah, I'm a derp sometimes. However, this doesn't necessarily rule out option 3.
If it IS DCFC so help me, I will WALK to Bonnaroo if I have to.
Just a side note: Marilyn Manson's most recent album is titled Pale Emperor, not Smells Like Children. c: And I seriously doubt Manson would make an appearance at Bonnaroo because it's just not his style of show. He couldn't get away with his usual antics at a peaceful, hippie-vibe place like Bonnaroo.
>peaceful, hippie vibe.
Did you happen to be there last year? Not too much of those vibes left. Shows were awesome, though.

Thanks for the correction. That's an old EP from 1995. I read someone's post wrong and didn't research because I'm pretty sure he's booked during Roo.
Manson not playing has more to do with him being in Europe over the "peaceful, hippie-vibe" at Roo. I've seen Gwar do all of their usual theatrics. They even turned the fountain into "blood."
All I heard via social media was that everyone was really split on the whole Kanye coming back thing, and that he was even more of a pompous horse's arse than the first time.

Unfortunately I've never gotten to go to Bonnaroo. I don't drive/have a car, and it's nearly impossible to wrangle a friend to go with me and drive me so my social anxiety's prevented me from going. I hope to go this year if DCFC is confirmed.

I hope you get to go this year but let's not get into the Kanye thing. That's about the last thing this thread needs.

The 1:1 aspect ratio doesn't prove anything. There is plenty of image editing they could have done before uploading. Case in point, the bucket picture. It's flipped and the beer bottled has been blurred.
They were still cool back in 2012, but then again, that was a year where the top was RHCP, Phish and Radiohead. More freaks and hippies for that than mega-pop stars.
Anyway, had I not glanced the the FAQ thread to see there are only (mostly?) musical artists in the clues (thanks for that btw), and since this hasn't been marked solved for Death Cab for Cutie, I was going to throw out Tosh.0 since both the radio clue (how many one liners can we get out in x seconds) and the baby clearly is something he would have a field day with. It's likely Death Cab.
Still kinda wondering about the 666 since that pretty much signifies Antichrist/elements of evil. Unless it's insignificant, you have to at least (10-15%) put it up for Manson (Antichrist Superstar). Still think it's Death Cab but death /= evil necessarily. And with Manson rumored to be playing Cochella, it's gotta remain a slight possibility until (un)confirmed.

Yeah, it's unclear whether the 666 is important or a red herring for this clue. If it's insignificant, I think that would pretty much confirm Death Cab.
