the TPain tiny desk is amazing. None of the auto tune stuff. He's a great singer.
He is a great singer. Sadly he didn’t do anything like this at his 2018 set- but it was still very fun. It would be cool if he’d bust out a couple songs that really showcase his voice and/or with live instrumentation this time around though.
i'm hoping he does a covers set like that recent concert he did, but i know people want the hits. i think i'm in the minority where although the 2018 set was fun, it felt short - like only 30s clips of each song- so i could never get into it.
I never got into the Mars Volta, anyone got a good playlist primer?
just listen to deloused in the comatorium front to back. then francis the mute and self titled from there. they mainly play from deloused on their current sets then the other songs are from the other 2 albums i’ve mentioned
edit: they also play songs from amputechture
I was just listening to francis the mute on my break. They’re gonna burn the farm to the ground!!!
yep. according to the Wiki page 22 was 45k and 23 was 85k. So yeah I also think somewhere in the 60k range but on the what podcast from the other day they said most pre-sale tickets ever and they are expecting a quicker sellout than last year so who knows.
oh, well if the What Podcast said it, then it must be true!!
just repeating what was already said somewhere else in here. I believe that specific quote came from the Bonnaroo/C3 representatives they were talking to.

did you know that John FROOsciante has never played at Bonnaroo as a member of the RHCP? not once!!!!

One of my college roommates used to listen to Eriatarka at least three times a day. Loved explaining the whole concept album to anyone who would listen. It eventually became one of those annoying running jokes, but honestly, I imagine that song would be fun on the farm. I don’t see it on recent set lists though.
I hear a lot of edm labels being thrown around and I don’t know what they mean. Can someone explain in terms a non-edm person can understand what the broad categories are and who all from the lineup fits into each one? All I know is that I really like Deadmau5 and I don’t like the dial-up-modem sounding stuff.

"House" is the deadmau5 type untz untz stuff. Any other term you hear used to describe an electronic artist performing at Bonnaroo is the dial up modem stuff, including but not limited to dubstep, bass music, riddim, etc.

Ended up buying tickets this morning. Somehow we have a bigger groop camping crew this year than 22 or 23. Hopefully they don’t put us all the way out next to the highway again.

You can look up the definitions of specific genres for curiosity because there are dozens of sub-genres, sub-sub-genres, hybrid and fused genres, etc. They come from different eras and have different influences including places of origin. This is very generalized and open to any argument. There's no right or wrong per se. Some of the types that you'd possibly see at a multi-genre festival:
House (including deep house, progressive house, tech-house, big house, etc.) - Duke Dumont, Black Coffee, Purple Disco Machine
Techno - think rave era, kind of repetitive and not my thing though lots of people love it - bpm +/- 155 and usually very simplistic 4/4 type rhythms but can be much slower too (Maceo Plex, Carl Cox, Blessed Madona)
Dubstep - harder shit focsed on rhythms say over melodic and usually in/around upper 130's bpm (Excision, Skrillex, Bassnectar, 12th Planet)
Drum and Bass - faster beats per minute than most genres ranging around 170 but can be a bit higher or lower than that (Chase & Status, Goldie)
Ambient - ethereal, moody, not necessarily always danceable as tones and sounds are important (Tycho, Alex Gorshkov,
Trance - Repetitive and hypnotic usually ranges between around 125-140ish bpm (can be a little faster) Paul Oakenfold, Infected Mushroom
Trap - Sounds like the backbeat to crunk and southern hip hop with bpm 130-145 range (some RL Grime, DJ Snake, Flosstradamus, Loudpvck)
Riddim - kind of a cousin to dub ranging about 140-145 bpm, has some atmosphere with it (Infekt, He$h, Dubloadz)
Moombathon - a little over 100bpm was kind of based on dub but at a much slower rhythm (Dillon Francis)
Reggaeton - slower than most edm coming in around 90bpm (give or take a few beats) and is often heavily Latino influenced ) - can be a bit more underground but Major Lazer for a big name
Bass - Bass music often focuses on the melodies and usually samples lots of hiphop. It can be played at all kinds of different BPM's depending on if it's funky, hard, or whatever. There are numerous categories of bass that sound not that similar depending on the artist (e.g. Future Bass - Liquid Stranger, Bass - Bassnectar, bass-house, bass-tech, etc.)
Also chillwave, synthwave, hardstyle, etc. There's a shit ton more. Some people like all of it, others like some or certain genres exclusively. Popularity changes with the times and influences.
Sorry to real producers who could have done this better, but it's just off the cuff.
The more I think about it, Cage > Peppers on What Saturday night might actually be a really good time to slam some pocket Fireball with my best buds and sing along to a bunch of songs I've heard eleven billion times. Throw in the insane dance party that will be Parcels late night in This and we've got a stew going baby
i honestly can't tell if this is denial, bargaining, or acceptance.
acceptance! Does me no good to go into the festival thinking I'm gonna have a bad time, might as well embrace the cheese. It's not high art, but there's something to be said for "looking for the ANSWERS IN THE POURING RAIN"

I love this video:
But if you don't want to watch something that long, think of it like a Rainbow, where the genres blur together at the edges. Mostly the distinction between genres is percussion & tempo based. For instance you can have a house song that is really simple and dark without much melody, and you can also have a house song that is super melody heavy and happy. They're both house because of the tempo and the specific percussion (4 kick drums per measure with a snare hit on every other beat). You only need like 20 seconds of each of these vids:
Techno: Minimal, untz untz untz
House: Often more melodic, boots n cats
Trance: Often soaring and melodic (but not all subgenres). Fast and energetic
Drum & Bass (DnB): Fast & busy percussion wise. Can be very melodic and smooth (liquid dnb) but isn't always
Hardstyle: Hardstyle sucks you can disregard
Bass/Dub:
Heavy percussion, slower tempo
Trap:
A lot of similarities to bass/dub in tempo but with flatter hip hop snares and often time a lot of vocals
Big Room is another one that probably deserves a spot. Think DJ Snake. It's kind of had it's moment though.

Regarding dubstep that can vary in terms of sound too, a Distinct Motive track which would almost always be labeled Dubstep is vastly different and more aligned with traditional sounding dubstep than an Excision “dubstep” track would. That particular dubstep sound is often labeled now as “deep dub” or just 140.
mars volta was a good time at ACL but didn’t enjoy it as much as i could’ve due to a.) the sound at their stage being pretty meh and b.) having to keep an eye glued to my phone so i could go intercept one of my roommates from the gate when he finally got to the park

For sure. So much stuff is hybridized these days. And often there are kind of little things things that could indicate why a particular sub of house could be French House or Dutch House or whatever. I only wanted to post kind of the generalities for a multi-genre festival since that's what Bonnaroo is.
incinnati Ohio babeyyyy
