Bonnaroo and Beyond

Back from Bonnaroo earlier in the week. It was quite an experience. Glad I did it. Standouts included Elvis Costello, Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3, Dirty Projectors, St. Vincent, David Byrne, and Public Enemy. 

So much to see and hear and not enough time. By the way, thanks to Dan for sitting behind the board last week. His playlist from last week will be going up shortly.

So, I got to check one of five of the festivals I want to go to off the list and starting last night, I get a second check as I was able to grab tickets for NEARfest. Last night the second ever performance of Van der Graaf Generator in the U.S. (the last one was in 1976) and the Steve Hillage Band. Much different vibe than Bonnaroo. Tonight, Gong!
