The 10th annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival will be held from June 9-12, this year and the official lineup was announced today. Be prepared to get excited or jealous, depending on whether or not you intend to be anywhere near Manchester, Tennessee this June:
Or maybe you just got deja vu? Because this is a lot like Coachella. I'm not saying that's good, and I'm not saying that's bad. But I am saying that the festival you pick is more or less down to whether you'd rather see Eminem and Florence and the Machine or Kanye West and Kings of Leon.
Frankly, it makes little difference to me because I know for a fact I cannot go to either. Stupid facts....they think they're so smart... I'm hoping Osheaga will make it up to me. Fingers crossed.
Bonneroo tickets go on sale this Saturday.
Oh, and Loretta Lynn? Huh?
- Uh, The White Stripes have split. Full story at Artrocker.
- We All Want Someone to Shout For has The National performing Conversation 16 on Letterman. And it's worth watching if only to hear Letterman say "acclaimed rock-and-roll band" like a great big square.
- guerolitomusic does the new James Blake video. But more importantly, he uses "bad ass" and "smurftastic" in the same post. Not to be missed, all round.
- Play On Daily sums up British Sea Power's Valhalla Dancehall as "Modern English fronted by Alejandro Escovedo." That's not at all what I expected, but a bloody fantastic description, no?
- Am I the only person who does not like Iron and Wine's new tune Walking Far from Home? Anyone else out there? No? Okay, well Stereogum has a Premature Evaluation of Kiss Each Other Clean, if you're more excited than I am. And This Moving Picture has the exclusive look at the Tree By the River video (a better song by far.)
- And from the vault-- Electric Comic Book dusts off The Who's Quadrophenia to compare and contrast with American Graffiti And it's awesome.
