~Phish (confirmed)

~SPIRITUALIZED (confirmed, though I have no fucking clue who they are.)

~RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS (I was under the impression that they were on a "break" and that their bassist Flea was in school. I guess he could play the show on his summer break though..lol)

~Allman Brothers Band

~Skid Row (ew lol)

~THE CURE ASHLEAH.

~THE SMITHS ASHLEAH.( They are already confirmed for Coachella!)

~CAKE

~BECK

~DIRE STRAITS

~AC/DC (I'm not sure there is any truth to this. They are fist deep in the middle of a European tour in June.)

~STS9 (I would just consider this to be confirmed because they play every odd year of Roo.)

~GOGOL BORDELLO (God I hope so.)

~FLAMING LIPS

~LES CLAYPOOL

~LIL' WAYNE (??LOL??)

Fuck this piece. I'm going to Portland for Thxgiving.

This idea came to me as dad told me he was going golfing instead. Lisa is going to Hawaii and Brian is a recluse.

SO FUCK YOU! I'm out.

sre;goujhtrhwsljs dfh soijdrgaerh [ouihsfh'pijszd!

Today I have a job interview at 2:30. Huzzah.

Capital Ale House burned down. HA!

Bonnaroo tickets get mailed out today.

No not really.
Sixty nine days until Bonnaroo.
Hurr hurr. 69.

Today I packed more of my room up. I also got on the computer and applied for a few jobs in Richmond. I have a list of places I need to visit on Saturday. I WILL have a job by the end of the month damnit. I'm set on it.

This week I went up to Richmond and helped a friend of mine move. After packing all her stuff up we went to Louisa, Va to hang out at Satan's Beer Can (aka Guido's trailer in the middle of nowhere). I drank awesome coffee, ate eggs that Guido collected from chickens in the yard and generally had one of the best and coldest days of my life.

Following that, I aquired an apartment and a few job opportunities. Life is good.

Radio Bonnaroo likes to tease and release hints of who's playing this year. I collected them and decided to try and figure them out. Good thing for me I have a brain full of useless info on music artists that I like. You all are blessed with good music taste and good brains as well. Help.


“For all you lineup lookers….here is a clue: There is more than one Manchester.”
This could be a few bands. The Chemical Brothers are from Manchester. Also Oasis, The Sex Pistols and David Grey (Gray?).

“Memphis is not Albany”
This is definately BB King. He's from Albany and Lucille (his guitar) was aquired in Memphis.


“Clouds taste this way”
The Flaming Lips is my guess. They have an album called Clouds Taste Metallic. I'm ignoring Metallica rumors because I would cry.


“Some Herrings are red, Jimmy”
Jimmy Page? Led Zeppelin?? Geez...it could also be Jimmy Hearring (spelling). He's in a few bands such as The Dead, Widespread Panic and Phil Lesh and Friends.


“Hard Substance, Soft Substance”
Pearl Jam. Next?

“Janis Joplin’s reserves will be preserved in 2008″
She had a song called Pearl right? This could also be Pearl Jam.


“Rumors are just rumors, but twist them sideways, grow your humor hair and they become a more yen reality. No, this is not about Fleewood Mac.”
Um....not a clue.


“It’s not sour, what is sowed in the earth”
Krauss/Plant. Iron and Wine (would be sweet.)
Alison Krauss and Robert Plant (frontman of Zeppelin) have an album out together. It just came out. It's actually pretty fucking good. So I have my fingers crossed.
“Three certain birds, add one”

“Look to the center of Europe to get the sound, but the band comes form all around.”
This could really be ANYONE. Maybe Gogol Bordello. That would be neat. They have played the Roo before.

“Here is another clue for you message board people. Open up the church and you will see the steeple. Some of your guesses have been way off but correct for the wrong clues. Now I must cough.”
Temple of the Dog? It's a stretch but I can dream right?

“Message board chatter? Yes it does matter. We hear your song requests. So Listen High Listen Low Dont Look Too Hard This Is New Radio Bonnaroo”
???

“Charlie’s imaginary band will not be playing and what he wrote on his hand the last few things he was not saying.”
That guy from Lost is always singing Wonderwall by Oasis. So Oasis is my guess.


"The Walrus ain’t Paul”
Sooooo many people have covered that song. Radiohead, Beastie Boys and Cat Power...

“What rhymes with orange?”
There is a band that I've never heard, but I have heard of called Nothing Rhymes with Orange. Clever.

It is rumored that there are going to be close to 100+ acts this year. Get ready kids.

After all of my studying, input from several others, and in general, all of the talking about rumors, anticipation and speculation, here's what I came up with:

and I apologize should I offend anyone if I put a certain band in a particular list they don't like


The "Classic Rock" Slot: (I really think anyone of these have a shot)

Led Zeppelin or Robert Plant
Roger Waters or David Gilmour
Eric Clapton, Cream or Blind Faith (Eric and Steve Winwood)
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
CSNY or Neil Young


The "Mainstream", "Alternative", "Hipster" or "Younger Generation" Slot: (I'm not sold on the Pearl Jam rumor yet, but I think it's either PJ, Radiohead, REM or David Bowie)

Pearl Jam
Radiohead
R.E.M.
David Bowie (I put him with these bands because he fits best in this group, however, he is a classic rock-type artist)
The Cure
Rage Against the Machine
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bjork
Nine Inch Nails or Trent Reznor
Foo Fighters
Smashing Pumpkins

The "Jammy" or "Hippie" Slot: (I think we could see all of them except for Yes, with one of them getting a latenight, possibly Trey)

Trey Anastasio
The Dead or Phil Lesh and Friends
DMB or Dave and Friends (again, he may be mainstream or pop, but definitely caters to the jamband fan)
Allman Brothers Band
Yes
