It sucks to be short at Bonnaroo. It sucks to be short at any concert, really. And at my meager stature of 5'3'', my typical view is all dreadlocks, all the time. With a year's practice, though, I've nearly mastered the art of squeezing through the throngs of unshowered neo-hippies.The key is to start from the sides and angle in toward the front, shamelessly taking every pathway that presents itself when the folks suffering from bad trips decide to exit the tents for much-needed timeouts.

With a summer tour already in full swing, M.I.A. co-conspirator Diplo would have earned a month or two of downtime come fall. Yet, like his music, he soldiers on in one long crunky grind, gliding across states and continents as effortlessly as he mixes songs and genres.

Joining him in this quest for the freshest beats will be post-punk primas Abe Vigoda who, while not on the Mad Decent label, are nonetheless mad decent themselves.... read more
