This was my first Bonnaroo experience. I seriously doubt it will be my last. Arriving in sweltering heat, with surprising little traffic on the first day of performances. I realized that I'd forgotten to re-stock on sunscreen, so what I'd brought had better last. Nashville was abuzz with thousands of additional out of city/state tourists for the CMA's, something to do everywhere. Honky Tonk's spilling out, not a stark contrast to the oasis of Manchester, Tennessee's grounds where Bonnaroo would be held. Entering the state and meeting Tennesseans for the first time, you're shocked. If you're [...]

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Kendrick Lamar/Alabama Shakes [Kendrick] Lamar hails from gangsta rap central: Compton, Calif. But instead of directing his anger at the police, women or outsiders, he criticizes himself and his environment, and he projects far more ambition than victimization. One song, "She Needs Me," praised a career woman-a rare creature in hip-hop. Mr. Lamar uses hip-hop's love of raunch and brand names (especially fashion labels and upscale alcohol) as teaching tools.

Nevertheless, the first day of the four-day musical Christmas saw an eclectic, high-energy slew of artists looking to make an impression. [...]

There's nothing I love more than a music festival. Actually that's a lie, however I do enjoy them immensely. Bonnaroo is up there amongst the world's best, and in North America its main opposition seem to be Coachella and Lollapalooza. Now although Bonnaroo doesn't have live holograms being streamed online in the middle of a desert (helping the rest of world get familiar with an area of California named Indio) and it isn't based in Windy city, it is holding it's own further south east in the city of Manchester, Tennessee. Not too far away from Nashville. [...]

Yeah Okay, You're Right : So it's less than a month away now, and we've not said a word about it (yo, things got hectic around here!), but we're still very excited for the 'roo. You probably already know what Bonnaroo is, but on the off-chance you've been hiding in a cave for the past 11 years, there's a huge music festival that's about to happen on a lovely farm in Manchester, Tennessee from June 7th through the 10th. For a long weekend, music fans flood the small Tennessee town and camp out [...]
