But that doesn't explain the "look to the center of europe to get the sound" that explains the band comes from all around.....but their sound certainly isn't central european.....Imean that's definitely interesting, good leg work but I don't think the sound part is fulfilled
My thinking was that Kiedis, as the frontman, gives the band their "sound." I really don't think we're talking about "European sounding" music, unless we're looking at some traditional folk acts, which I doubt.
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."

Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beat Box and JUF all have very European sounding music, and I don't know about the other two but Gogol plays lots of fests. So I don't know why we wouldn't be looking for a band with a European sound for a clue that specifically asks us to do so.
Charlies imaginary band will not be playing and don't believe what he wrote on his hand and the last few things he was not saying
I know people are saying this means Oasis, but but the clue says his imaginary band won't be playing. And there are two more parts to the clue - not to believe what he wrote on hos hand (not Penny's boat) and the last few things he wasn't saying. I think the last part might be a reference to the list he was not saying, but writing, of his "greatest hits" in life. But I don't know what that means. All I know is that there doesn't seem to be any way to tie the last two parts of the clue to Oasis at all, and the first part suggests they won't be playing.
i really think "not Penny's boat" HAS to mean something... i just can't figure out what.
I posted this before but since everything got erased i'll do it again because i think it gives us another oasis clue...
Wonderwall is the title of a 1968 movie for which George Harrison composed the soundtrack. The story of the film revolves around a reclusive, eccentric scientist Oscar Collins whose next-door neighbors are a pop photographer and his girlfriend/model named Penny Lane. Discovering a beam of light streaming through a hole in the wall between them, Collins follows the light and spots Penny modeling for a photo shoot. Intrigued, he begins to make more holes, as days go by and they do more photo sessions. Oscar gradually becomes infatuated with the girl, and feels a part of the couple's lives, even forsaking work to observe them. When they quarrel and the couple split, Penny takes an overdose of pills and passes out, and Oscar tries to come to her rescue. Noel Gallagher claims that the song was not about Meg Mathews at all, but he felt he had to go along with the rumor, saying "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. How do you tell your Mrs it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself."

Ok I understand your logic..I'm just looking for a "european sound", and you are looking for a more literal meaning. That's cool...although you are taking alot of credit fromthe rest of the band,cause they make the sound equally.......but I'm not trying to step on your idea....that's a good thought process you have there
Ok, for clue #10 "look to the center of europe to get the sound, but the band comes form all around." I came up with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A quick googling reveals that the center of Europe is (supposedly) in Lithuania, and a Wikipedia check says that Anthony Kiedis, lead singer, is of Lithuanian descent. That fulfils the "look to the center of europe to get the sound" part. Given that Flea is from Australia, and the other members, near as I can tell, are just American, I think that together they round out the "but the band comes from all around" part.
So the sound is from Lituania I get that... and I do belive the first Forign language clue was rummered to be Lituanian???

Here's the literal translation of the Spanish clue: Some of the tracks brown are too much you relieve grey-brown deeper
I didn't hear the clue, so I've been working from transcriptions, but I'm pretty sure that's not right. I'm guessing the first word is "si" and not "se" because it makes sooo much more sense. And the brown and grey-brown parts aren't right either. Argh, I wish somebody remembered the spanish so I could really get it for you guys! Oh wellll.

Okay everyone - Once again, it has been a blast speculating with you guys all day. I guess this will be the end of our clue posting, since we should have some results this evening!
*tear* i will miss you all and all of your clue-figuring-outing! (not like we wont start posting about whos gonna be there as soon as we get the line-up...)

I've seen Gogol three times, and they ALWAYS put on an amazing show. And they don't seem to ever stop touring - I don't know how they maintain the level of energy they bring every single time.

Hey folks! Since the other thread has apparently imploded even further, I thought I'd repost my speculations here. If others have said this stuff, I'm sorry. I'm just reposting what disappeared from last night.
Ok, for clue #10 "look to the center of europe to get the sound, but the band comes form all around." I came up with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A quick googling reveals that the center of Europe is (supposedly) in Lithuania, and a Wikipedia check says that Anthony Kiedis, lead singer, is of Lithuanian descent.

Given that Flea is from Australia, and the other members, near as I can tell, are just American, I think that together they round out the "but the band comes from all around" part.
I am convinced that "What is in the desert isnt." refers to Oasis, but I think it's saying that they won't show. "What is in the desert (Oasis), ISN'T (going to be there)" At least, that's what I'm telling myself
I don't think the Peppers are the answer to number 10 but if they played Bonnaroo that would make my year.
I took our Lithuanian clue from last night to academia and got a reply this afternoon. I'll just post the reply below and hope it can clear up any confusion regarding the clues translation. As for who it points to...that still remains a mystery.
Please forgive my delay in responding; I've had some back-to-back meetings this morning and afternoon and am only now able to have a go at your question. Although I work regularly with Slavic languages, the Baltic languages (Latvian and Lithuanian) are rather different and somewhat off my scope. I've done some looking around, though, and can tell you that "labai" means "very/extremely/mightily" etc., "iki" means, depending on context, until/as far as/till, and the word "pasimatymo" means something like "getting together/rendezvous." "Molono" is the stumper: In Lithuanian (and many other languages) "Molon" refers to the Greek orator/rhetorician Apollonius Molon, but I cannot see what he has to do with some phrases that suggest (to me, anyway) a strong desire to meet again, followed by (as you discovered) the words for "goodbye." I'm betting that "molono" is actually some form (in declension) of a word that appears quite differently in the nominative case but fits the mood of these phrases. That's my read, anyway. To go straight to the source (well, one step removed) you might try one of the following organizations to see what they think of the Lithuanian/Bonaroo connection clue:

Best of luck! I hope you can solve this mysterious sound-bite....
