Not to be outdone by Bonnaroo or Langerado, Wakarusa goes ahead and adds the Flaming Lips as a headliner.
My prediction: Wayne Coyne gets in his little bubble and surprises everyone by entering the festival from the rear of the crowd. Yeah right.
March 2006
Hang on to your membranes, folks!
Cypress Hill (!!!) has been added to Bonnaroo 2006, along with Blackalicious, The Streets, Lyrics Born, and a few others. They’ve also beefed up their comedy tent lineup with the addition of Lewis Black (among others).
Bonnaroo…where’s my Rick Moranis?
Full announcement after the jump.
Remember back when I asked you for help finding a job?
“I can do accounting, bookkeeping, HTML, CSS, light design, blogging, podcasting, customer service, database analysis and design, MS Access, etc.”
Well, I have good news. I found one.
Yesterday was my first day at FeedBurner. Yes, FeedBurner. The leader in web feed management technology. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to start work in my life.
Invariably, this means that certain portions of the Live Music Blog that you’re used to might be taking a break and certain new things might start showing up. This change was coming and I’m happy that the timing is working out so well.
I’ll have my final wrap-up from Jam in the ‘Dam later this week and other stuff ready to go for next week, so stay tuned for that. Otherwise, wish me the best of luck at FeedBurner, make sure you’re using them to manage your blog/data feeds, and stay tuned for the Live Music Blog 3.0 (tentative title). Word.
I’ve updated the Langerado 2006 downloads page with Hot Buttered Rum’s set.

If you haven’t read this, do it now. Do it.
Rock out to Jesse Jarnow’s Frow Show #7 at Ropeadope.com.
All three STS9 shows from Jam in the ‘Dam 2006 are up on the Archive now. I’ve updated my download page. Word.
If you haven’t listened to this Umphrey’s McGee jam, you’re really doing yourself a humongous disservice.
danfun went to Gil Mantera’s Party Dream at SXSW and has a good little story to tell. I laughed just reading about it, so I can’t imagine how funny it was to be there.
Village Indian went to the Arctic Monkeys show in NYC and took photos and wrote a review. Believe the hype?
Download Tapes ‘n Tapes’ KEXP show from 3/25/06 at So Much Silence.
Each Note Secure reviews Wilco’s Ryman Auditorium show from a couple weeks back.
brooklynvegan has tickets to give away for the Flaming Lips Saturday night show in NYC.
Dark. Scary. Trance-y. the Disco Biscuits.
I’m sorry, but the proof is in this pudding, baby!
Here’s my original thoughts. I still agree with them.
If you find a download from Jam in the ‘Dam and you don’t see it here, please send it my way.

Wired profiles their seven best sci-fi albums of all time. Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine made the list. Nice.
Cokemachineglow reviews the Secret Machines’ Ten Silver Drops and Spoon’s A Series of Sneaks, both excellent albums in my opinion.
The name of this supergroup is enough to make me stop liking jambands altogether. Flame away.
TBS is using some interesting advertising strategies for their upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy airing in a couple weeks. I think it would have been more effective if they used the Brokeback Mountain score, similar to Brokeback Island or Brokeback to the Future.
Rolling Stone photo-profiles the Top 10 artists to watch in 2006. TV on the Radio and Wolfmother are the most notables in my eyes.
Act fast…you can buy a copy of The Duo’s Big Horse right now which is being released in Japan only. Ropeadope hooks it up.
STS9′s last set at Jam in the ‘Dam has been posted on the Archive. Please tell me that I can expect full sets from all bands to be archives…please please please. At any rate, I’m also going to start a Jam in the ‘Dam download page just in case…
Also at Rolling Stone, they’ve got Wilco photos up from their recent St. Louis show and a review of NOFX’s latest, Never Trust a Hippy.
re: Never Trust a Hippy – you know how many punk songs there are in this world that specifically target and make fun of all hippies, wookies and overall wasteoids? Does anyone know of any jamband songs that are like, “whoah, we don’t mosh and we don’t like punks?” And yet, Umphrey’s McGee covers Fugazi’s “Waiting Room” all the time, easily one of the Top 10 punk songs of all time (#7 on this list). Something to think about…
Productshop NYC sits down with the Beastie Boys on their new concert film, Awesome: I Fucking Shot That. Good stuff.
Chuck Klosterman reviews Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy album in the new, new Spin. Too funny.
“Skeptics might also bristle at the anger that still resides in Axl’s heart; his hairstyle and facial features have changed, but his inner intensity remains grizzly-esque. On the caustic rocker “Slash and Burned,” Rose lashes out at his former bandmates now in Velvet Revolver with staggering specificity: “Your singer has cocaine eyes and a skeletonized trance / We’ll see if RCA recoups their advance.” Rose has also retained his pathological distaste for the media, lyrically attacking the editors of Vanity Fair, MTV personality Sway, numerous teenage bloggers, and the city hall reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer (who, curiously, has never written about pop music).”
