Confirmed Bonnaroo 2007 Performers

FYI: Slint is playing Spiderland in its entirety at a festival in Barcelona a couple weeks prior to Bonnaroo. Keep your fingers crossed that they might do the same in Manchester....

i had tickets to see them in chicago on what was supposed to be their 'only' reunion tour, but got food poisoning and couldnt make it. would love to see them at roo.

Fountains of Wayne according to this article.

Cool.

huh. this ones weird. although i have only heard a couple of their songs that are on radio/tv alot.

However, "Stacy's Mom" has an fascinatingly ugly sounding lead guitar all the way through the song...

I just updated the first page with Fountains of Wayne ,Charlie Louvin, & The Hold Steady.

Fountains of F'ng Wayne? Are you serious? I'm not sure how I feel about that... If I hear Stacy's Mom booming out of Centaroo I might have to kill someone...

I remember a song by them from (I think it was) the Scream 2 soundtrack, "Sink to the Bottom", that wasn't that bad - And I know they're similiar to Modest Mouse in that they've been around for a long time but just recently got big, but I feel like a lot of people would react the way I did when they see that these guys are on the line up. Oh well.

I'm not that much of a fan of the song however, my girlfriend's name's stacie and consequently she is. I do like their other stuff though. She was pretty stoked to hear that they'll be there as well.

Jiglet, without knowing that well what music you're into, I'd highly recommend checking out 2003's "Welcome Interstate Managers". Just like dudezer said, you can hear "Stacy's Mom" in the context of all the other types of songs they write. There is a consistent theme in the music of strong pop hooks and tightly composed songs coupled with quirky narratives, of which that song is just one example of many, surprisingly varied tunes. It's just a fantastic album.

Right. As many people know, Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood (the group's principal songwiters) are pretty tight with James Iha and D'Arcy of Smashing Pumpkins, doing several projects together over the last decade or so.
Also-- and I suppose this might take them down in some people's estimations-- Schlesinger was the composer of the Oscar-nominated theme song to the Tom Hanks film "That Thing You Do!". In my opinion, regardless of how you like that song, that is a very impressive part of his resume.

Weren't you the one who suggested Linkin Park?

Hey Guys, being reading since last year, finally decided I needed to buck up and get an account because this was too good to pass up. I know wikipedia has posted names before and had them taking off but this one seems to have a bit more of an "official" feel to it. If this turns out to be true then we are all in for another great year of music:
