probably the best (fake) lineup i have seen thus far. a couple things about it are off though such as the bottom left. however – the logo on the top and the ticket on sale date is quite convincing. good job to who ever found or made this

araabmuzik is 1 of the best producers period I’m a be just like that I promise

Lineup tomorrow, it’s official, via Roo’s facebook!

Over reaction. While of course technology plays a huge part in music it is not the killer or the reason why we are currently on this so called “nihilism fever” course. What spawned the genesis of all that groundbreaking music was as a result of major culture shifts (aided by technology in many ways). The world literally experienced the sensation of not knowing and not having something to having it and knowing it on plenty of influential fronts. Also, the distilling of talent and taste can be argued to have been already destroyed by electric instruments that were cheaper and easier to learn than any orchestral instrument and whose tunings and sloppy dynamics did not hold vocals 100% accountable. But just as we see our current technology doing it allowed everyday people to get out and make music and lead toward the creation of rock n’ roll and all of its aesthetics.

What we are seeing now is no different than how the technology of radio or TV affected music. It’s obviously just on a bigger scale. Music is definitely on a plateau right now as most of its horizons have been explored with the current ressources we have to explore it. We need to slow down and remember that this sentiment is no different than when the format of the Novel changed, music was no longer made up of suites, and TV changed performances. Imagine how high paced and unnacceptable that would have seemed to the art world and critics back then. Way more than now. At least we have been acclimatized to technology.

The other thing to keep in mind is how much we have romanticized the past and how the romantic slant that has been attached to movements like the “hippies”, Woodstock and such are a very biased view. It has been created to look like the whole entire world was Woodstock, when really it was not. Don’t forget that the Number 1 song in the country right after Woodstock was The Archies “Sugar, Sugar”. A cartoon band with the number one spot!

The talent and work ethic of the great entertainers from the 20′s,30′s, and 40′s has undoubtedly been diluted with the advent of technology, but we act like it has all completely vanished when it has not. The world will never have another Sgt. Peppers topping the charts and dominating the mainstream culture for a long long time, but that is because we can’t even fathom when the next cultural shift will occur or what that will be.

it seems to me like Bonnaroo is missing the boat in terms of its scheduling. if they had a somewhat legitimate headliner on Thursday night, wouldnt they get a better turnout/make more money for the festival overall? It seems like a ton of people don’t show up until Friday, but if its a four day festival, have a Thursday headliner that has some name recognition (maybe not a huge name, but something like a Cold War Kids, Primus, Allison Krausse, or Lil Wayne) and get more people there by Thursday, or better yet Wednesday night. But in the past, with no major draw for Thursday night, they aren’t taking advantage of drawing a captive audience for another 1-2 nights. Am I missing something here? Can someone explain?

He’s killed it like he always does!

Foxy Shazam also played “Unstoppable”

well shit i hope it’s paul mccartney after that performance

Saw a “leaked” lineup that had radiohead and prince on it. Don’t know if any of you guys remember my “source” that said they would be there last year, but it would be cool to know I had somewhat of an insight. Granted, its a year later.Before you all start bashing me and everything about me, I have definitely learned you can’t believe anything when it comes to prelineup speculations. I do, however, hope that everyone’s appetite is somewhat satiated in the next few days. I can’t wait to see what the final product will be. Told myself I wasn’t going this year, but have a feeling I will be there anyway. Fingers crossed for something good–whatever happens.
