Bonnaroo Scheduling Blues May 25, 2007
So the Bonnaroo 2007 schedule was finally released yesterday. I’ve been waiting for a long time to see this thing, and it was inevitable that I’d be disappointed. I only say that because, with the amount of bands that I want to see there, there’s bound to be some scheduling conflicts. I’m not gonna make definite decisions on who I will and will not see there yet, since I guess it sort of depends on who my friends are going to see (as of now there’s 13 of us going), though I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing bands by myself either.
As of now though, I’d like to see The Little Ones, Apollo Sunshine, Clutch, Cold War Kids, Brazilian Girls, Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Tool, Aesop Rock, El-P, DJ Shadow, Dr Dog, Gogol Bordello, The Hold Steady, Ween, The Police, The Flaming Lips, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Wilco, The White Stripes, and Widespread Panic.
But if I did see all of those bands, I’d miss out on seeing Mute Math, The National, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tea Leaf Green, Tortoise, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Hot Chip, The Nightwatchman, The Roots, Manu Chao, String Cheese, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Slip, Railroad Earth, Hot Tuna, Spoon, Keller Williams, Gov’t Mule, Galactic (with tons of awesome hip-hop guests), Girl Talk, Wolfmother, The Decemberists, and Ornette Coleman. And those are just the acts that I’d really like to see that I’d be missing – There are a lot of others as well. So it’s pretty frustrating. It wasn’t this bad last year, because I hadn’t checked out as many of the bands beforehand, so I guess I didn’t really know what I was missing.
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day… Have a good Memorial Day weekend everybody.

Dude I saw Girl Talk live like 3 weeks ago. It was ridiculously sweet. I could send his album your way if you want.

I have the album and I definitely like it, but I just can’t imagine skipping out on The Flaming Lips, Gov’t Mule, or Galactic, to see Girl Talk. It sucks, I’d love to see all four.

Wow, Gathering of the Vibes is like two hours from me according to Google Maps, figured it’d be much further than that, I might actually have to check that out!
