[Bonnaroo] All wrapped up...back to the real world...

My long weekend at Bonnaroo has sadly come to an end as I have returned to the Triple M office. I had an absolutely amazing experience and enjoyed nearly every moment (the exception being waking up sweating and finding little relief all day). The music throughout the weekend was diverse and sounded great. The atmosphere and crowd was friendly and kind. Bonnaroo was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend the festival to anyone and everyone no matter your musical taste. I am already looking forward to next year!
As far as music goes, my top three performances of the weekend include the hometown Kings of Leon, rapper and all around entertainer Jay-Z, and the smooth yet funky sounds of Daryl Hall and Chromeo. All performances throughout the weekend were very solid.

Thousands of people and cars equals...mud.
The King of all stages, The What Stage! During Nas and Damian Marley
The second largest stage, the Which Stage
There are three stages about this size, this is the That Tent
Umphrey's McGee performing Friday afternoon at the Which Stage
British folk rockers Mumford & Sons
Indie rockers Local Natives on Thursday
Mayer Hawthorne and the County jammed their groovy sound late night
I hope this was not the first and last live show by these guys together, Daryl Hall and Chromeo
The famous Bonnaroo bobbleheads were painted in World Cup uniforms this year.
The wonderful people of Bonnaroo dancing in the glistening sun. The man in neon has a sign that reads "Smile! You're at Bonnaroo!" I will admit, I smiled a few times this weekend.
A short clip I shot of Damian Marley with Nas performing the Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved" to close up their set.
A short clip I recorded of Mumford & Sons playing their song "Little Lion Man." Be sure to check out their release Sigh No More.
Bonnaroo 2010 was a huge success! Already anticipating next year!

I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
