Thank you iTunes
I'm making this as more of a list for myself, sampling all the bands that're gonna be at Rothbury that I don't know about. Bands not to be missed include the following:
[[**=new to me & extra awesome]]
-Widespread
-311
-Phil & Friends
-STS9**
-Gov't Mule**
*NOTE: Colbie Caillat has some pretty chill music, and if she's playing in the evening or at night, I'll probably check her out. Also, she looks pretty cute.*
-Slightly Stoopid**
*REALTIME EDIT: As I sample these artists, I'm realizing that most of them are REALLY REALLY awesome. Burning up both of my personal days to go for all four days is a distinct possibility.*
-Yonder Mountain
*Damn, even Gogol Bordello is pretty sweet. They even get bonus points for having a song called "Think Locally, Fuck Globally." And it's a GOOD song."
-Gogol Bordello**
-The Disco Biscuits
*NOTE: If you like the "Let's go Outback Tonight" song from the Outback Steakhouse commercials, you'll like "Of Montreal" because I'm pretty sure they sing it. Will I check them out? Probably not.*
*EDITORIAL: As good as The Dresden Dolls may be, I feel they are too harsh a sound for the drug culture that will undoubtedly be attending this festival.*
-Taj Mahal (Very chill, songs tell good stories, gets bonus points for opening for Umphrey's)
******which reminds me, WHY ISN'T UMPHREY'S HERE???? :'( :'( :'( *******
-Mike Gordon (Haven't heard him solo, but I liked the stuff he did with Leo Kottke, and I'm hoping to hear a deer skull flute again, and perhaps even acquire one)
-Zappa Plays Zappa (Oh Ty Schalter, how you wish you could attend now)
-Crystal Method DJ set (YES. YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES)
-JJ Grey** & Mofro (If you are at all a fan of blues, do not miss this band)
*Like to dance? A lot? Check out The Greyboy Allstars. You'll see me there, rockin' out to some sweet funky jazz*
-Secret Machines (A bit heavy compared to the other bands, but so is some of 311's stuff, so I'll probably be there)
-EOTO** (which, by the way, apparently stands for "Elephants Only Talk Occasionally" but I suspect may actually be an orphan acronym or more likely a pseudo-acronym.)
-Panjea w/ Micheal Kang** (I'm a fan of Panjea, but I know nothing of this Michael Kang character. Hopefully he 'kills people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong.')<---Panjea lyric
-Yard Dogs Road Show** (Not really a "Band" but still something I think we all need to witness, or something we will be incredibly sorry we witnessed)
-Bassnectar** (fulfilling my NECESSARY quota of dancing to crazy electronic stuff)
-Flosstradamus** (I know nothing about them, but I've decided that based on the name alone, they are awesome)
-The Dynamites feat. Charles Walker**
-Sojorn (Everybody loves a good mashup artist)
That's it, my friends. Hopefully I'll see you there.
