first, this Country Roads remix is sick. but second, there is a moment during this song when they put the camera on the rail riders, and some of them are singing country roads, some of them are dancing, and then there is just this one guy recording it with his phone and laughing. because it's funny, right? pretty lights covering john denver? it's awesome and cool and funny all at the same time. and IMO that's when live music is at it's best, when it makes you wanna move but also wanna cry a little but also want to laugh because isn't all of this ridiculous? weaving between all those feelings is where joy lives for me.
Love that they're thinking of great ideas for Bonnaroo. You know they'll mix in some Tennessee stuff because that was something they did in every city. And they only would redo a song or two in the next city. I think Menert had posted after they'd done 29 hours live that there were only 5 repeats. So between their/Derek's own shit and the samples and teases that work a lot like what jam acts do, you didn't get any repeats though sometimes they'd weave in and out of a particular song.
For New Orleans, we got
Night 1 Let the World Hurry By > Only Yesterday > Color of My Soul > Out of Time > Forever Lost > Wrong Platform > All I've Ever Known (TwoFresh remix) > So Much in the Dark > The Love You Left Behind > Dark as the Sky > Drift Away *setbreak* Welcome to the Machine (remix) > How We Do > Look at Me Now Swirl > Keep 'em Bouncing > Hand Clapping Halftime > Free Stomp > Analog Jam > Regular Priority . Understand Me Now > Still Night > NOLA Mashup with Derek Freestyle
Night 2 Hot Like Sauce > Press Pause > Gold Coast Hustle > Who Loves Me > Short Cut/Detour > Almost Familiar > Down the Line > Cold Feeling > Up & Down I Go > Roll It Up (Dr. Fresch cover with tease of Tricky) *setbreak* Wake Up > Time to Build a Home > Looking For Love (But Not So Sure) > High School Art Class (with Phish's Tweezer) > I Must Be In A Good Place Now (Bobby Charles cover) > Around the Block (SnellVillian remix) > I Can See It In Your Face > Let the Good Times Roll > I Know the Truth
Night 3 New song off Swirl Bridge > Let Em Know It's Time to Go > Butterfly > Gazing at the Glare > At Last I Am Free > B-Rock > Russian Justice > Prophet > I Remember > All of the Lights *setbreak* Road to the Stars > Solar Sailor > The Sound of Silence Remix > Hot Like Rox > More Important than Michael Jordan > Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Pink Floyd cover) > Sun Spreads in Our Minds (w/ Soul Rebels) > Lion Returns (Radikal Guru cover with Soul Rebels) > Bump & Hustle (w/ Soul Rebels) > Back that Azz Up (Juvenile cover with Soul Rebels and Brandon Butler) > You and Me > Finally Moving
And that's just one of the 12 stops they did. You can see they're willing to take on anything from early Pink Floyd (A Saucerful of Secrets which was their second album I think) to Juvenile and wherever else they want to go. Gonna be two great shows IMHO.
Does anyone else struggle with talk-singing style of bands like Geese, BCNR, and Black Midi? I love all of their instrumentation and enjoy the way they're able to create soundscapes/concepts, but most of the rambling talk over music style vocals just turns me off. Am I missing something about the appeal of this style?
Really like the geese singer and BM’s. I think Geese in particular would lose a lot if they had a normal singer.
what if this year its just one stage and all of them are late night? you don't know what could happen bonnaroo can change.
One stage, seamless transition from one set to the next with no breaks, 24 hour music, and 20 minutes sets. The new festival paradigm, for the youngins with no attention span and no ability to choose where to be or what to see?
have you seen Soulshine? aka Summercamp. It may be what you are looking for
Looks okay but nothing I'd go out of my way for, and certainly not for my group, who are mostly younger and more into EDM, hiphop, and radio stuff.
We do have a venue less than an hour away that hosts some smaller fests, Nelson ledges Quarry Park. A little too much of a wookie jamband, "let's do all the acid and too much molly and get FUCKED up!!!" scene, but does have some fun stuff sometimes.
I'm really having trouble imagining The Mars Volta playing in a tent.
They crammed the Pixies in a tent last year and it was awful. I never even saw the stage. Don’t know why but I imagine Mars Volta in the Puscifer slot in the middle of the day

The Mars Volta are far less popular in the year 2024 than a lot of bands they've stuck in a tent recently. Their set at Shaky was pretty much empty about 30 minutes into it and they were the pre-headliner on the main stage. They could easily play a tent.

but instead of acts it's just a big phone swiping through tik-tok every 2-3 seconds, plus everybody's parents are there because gen z "love and trust" their parents and considers them "friends". so fucked up whats going on these days

The "Jolene" and "let's go back to Tennessee" mixes are going to fucking HIT on the farm. I hope he opens with that let's go back mix. I will cry. I think we'll all cry. Any roo vets in attendence will definitely lose it.

Listening to 7Lions who I've liked for years but I think it works so well bc he mixes the heavy lead synths like guitars in good rock - slam panned left and right with EQ space for the bass and vox

This reminded me of the band Ought, now broken up. I remember the first time I listened to them, I hated it. I tried them again a few years in a different mood, sadder circumstances, and loved them. I can’t imagine their songs properly sung - the talk-singing is just part of the appeal.
That said, I’m hit or miss on the genre. I like the little I’ve heard of Geese and want to dig in deeper on them, but I couldn’t get into Black Midi at all last year.

I don't know them well, but if you're saying it would be wild, I remember thinking Jim James and Run The Jewels in This Tent shows were particularly crazy, and great times, of course. I'm big on elbow-to-elbow crowds, but if you're a fan you gotta get in there!
The crowd anxiety and and annoyances of getting bumped around all fade away as soon as a band you love starts, at least for me. For bands I care less about, I'll hang back a bit and see how it goes.

Alright, I started doing some research on unfamiliar artists in an honest effort to embrace the lineup instead of being depressed about it.
After all the love here I finally checked out Goose. In my twisted but nonderogatory terms, they're like if Marcus Mumford played with Vulfpeck, after they all listened to Phish and MMJ together. Not in love with them yet, but I get it.
But what's the deal with the plural, Geese? the KEXP set I saw had me checking to make sure Adam Sandler wasn't singing half the time, and they just seemed noisy (not in ta good way). I really liked the few studio recordings I heard though. Could they be one of those bands that's way better in the studio, or am I misjudging them? Serious question.
Disco Lines: nope, not my thing, I'm not that guy, and that's okay.
BigXThaPlug: Doesn't seem especially innovative, but he's a pro. Might be worth a peek, barring any conflicts.
Maggie Rogers: In, 100%.
Seven Lions: You'd have to pay me. But Bet half my group will be at the show, and maybe drag the rest of us along, which is alright.
Eggy: Who the hell is this, who has been hiding them from me, and how long have I been in the dark? Now we're talkin'.
incinnati Ohio babeyyyy
