Just close our eyes, cover our ears and go "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA". that would be a better name for that stageI like that there IS a rap stage, y'all. But that name is probably sub-Rumpus Room. The dance tent names are stupid with a wink. If you're gonna do a "Maine Stage," you might as well go all the way with it. And I don't mean like Bonnaroo does, they're not going farther enough either. I mean, like: Stage 1: The Uhhhhhhhhh Stage 2: The Ehhhhhhhhh Stage 3: The Euuhhhhhhh Tent: The Euuuuuhhhhhhh Stage 4: The Euhhhhhhhhhhh

It never has existed and will never exist in my mind. Until you're shitfaced at the festival. Nope, that's what the dance tent is for.

Holy shit, I just read all the stage and tent names at Bonnaroo, I could see that getting pretty confusing for some drunk first-timers.
A: Where are you going? B: I'm going to this tent *points* A: You mean That Tent? B: No, this tent *points again* A: No, that's That Tent. B: No dude THIS TENT! *points emphatically*
And so fourth with Abbott and Costello rip offs.
I really hope the Maine/Main thing doesnt fuck anyone up for meetings, and it probably won't, but I'm with NJ, possibly the dumbest name ever; it doesn't even make any sense.

They obviously named it that way so people would get confused and end up there. Otherwise that stage would have zero people.

Imagin the artists getting the stages mixed up. Beck shows up half an hour before his set and frantically asks a yellowshirt where the main stage is. He has no idea who Beck is a points him towards the hiphop stage. Meanwhile at the Sasquatch stage Beck is no where to be found, so they grab the nearest group of people who have artist passes.
Beck plays to 60 people who have no idea who he is while Fresh Espresso play in front of 20K people who are are confused as hell. 40 people in the pit are going nuts because they are too drunk to care.
Well done Snacks; good pun.

I can't imagine Fresh Espresso fans would necessarily all have no idea who Beck is. They get the good end of the deal, apparently.

I guess I just figured if they weren't going to see Beck, they probably wouldn't recognize him if he took the stage. Once he played 'Loser' or something I'm sure they would catch on.

It would also be a DJ set because Beck would shortly find out that there are no instruments on the Maine Stage

and the schedule slowly drifts into focus....
any of you sleuthers able to find out which day Joy Formidable is playing? or the Walkmen? I'm guessing Walkmen on Friday, JF I thought would be Monday but now not so sure.
the potential Tenacious v Spiritualized conflict is bumming me out again, though I won't take anything too seriously before it's official.

Joy Formidable and the Walkmen are likely both Sunday. Also, that conflict seems rather likely.

People are definitely worrying too much about when the Walkmen play. The Walkmen are so bad. Whenever I hear the Walkmen it makes me want to buy a Volkswagen.

They're in a category with The Hives and Liars: utterly non-descript bands with standard instrumentation and adequate-at-best musicianship that are only still being talked about because Poochfuck liked them for five minutes ten years ago.
Bad.

I like the Hives 'cause they rocked at Sasquatch. I've never even been to Pitchfork!

The Hives are like the Raveonettes: they have one thing that they do, and they do it over and over and over again forever. 'Hate to Say I Told You So' had a cool video and they've been coasting on it for over a decade, just like The Strokes have been doing since they were dubbed the second coming of rock and roll upon the release of Is This It? -- only to release a long string of embarrassingly bad records ever since.
In other news I am in love with that kitten.
