Bonnaroo 2010 Dates Announced, Holiday Payment Plan Offered

Even though this darn global warming business makes even mid-November feel like summertime, truth is it’s been almost six months since this year’s Bonnaroo took over Tennessee. Which, of course, means it’s prime time to look ahead to Bonnaroo 2010, which will go down June 10-13 next year. But before the music-festival season hits, the winter festival season will; this year, the good folks at Bonnaroo have wrapped both into a neat little package—starting Nov. 27, the fest is offering discount holiday-rate tickets online....  read more

A Dozen Quotable Moments as Reasons to Watch Christopher R. Weingarten Talk for 10 Minutes about Twitter, Bonnaroo and the Death of Music Criticism

image not available

I discovered this clip on Thursday afternoon (via Twitter, natch) on The Daily Swarm, and found it entertaining, thought-provoking and controversial. Christopher R. Weingarten has contributed to a number of substantial music publications over the last 10 years, and to say he's got a few things on his mind in regards to the state of the musical union is an understatement. Hilarious, furious, and argument-inducing, the above speech has more than a few quotable moments. As such, the dozen below are my way of coaxing you into burning 10 minutes of your life watching the video. It's Saturday, after all,...  read more

Top 12 Bonnaroo Moments

image not available

Somehow, 2009 marked my first Bonnaroo. After years of hearing stories of the hot, dust-laden, never-ending days in Manchester--combined with years of attending festivals and being unimpressed by inferior sound, overcrowded grounds and annoying sound bleed--I was skeptical. But I enjoyed every moment of Bonnaroo. Great acts were a given (as they've been at most fests I've attended), but the festival was large enough to constantly hold my interest but, somehow, still manageable. Sound was great, crowds didn't interfere with seeing or hearing bands, bleed was minimal, and fest organization was impressive.There are many great moments I missed. I'm kicking...  read more
