Younger Brother is at the forefront of the psybient genre. They are a supergroup led by Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen, Shpongle & Prometheus), Benji Vaughan (Prometheus), Ru Campbell, Marc Brownstein (Disco Biscuits & Conspirator), Tom Hamilton (American Babies), Joe Russo (Benevento/Russo Duo, American Babies, Trey Anastasio/Mike Gordon duo, Gene Ween Band, and Furthur). Last Days of Gravity (with artwork made by the legendary Storm Thorgerson whose work has graced albums by Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and Led Zeppelin, among many others) release in 2007 narrowly missed a nomination for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize and received masses of positive press thrown it's way. Younger Brother goes beyond music, eliciting visual, touch, and other sensory stimulation. When listened to with the right friends (I listened to both albums with my friend Lucy ;-), these albums will FOREVER CHANGE HOW YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC. It is stylish in ways that no other music has ever achieved, it is creative beyond anything to come out in YEARS, and and it is more unique and engaging than ANYTHING in this genre, or any for that matter.. Top 3 Tracks: All I Want, Happy Pills & Psychic Gibbon

Bonnaroo & Waka were both too hot last year. People died of heat exhaustion at both.. Honestly if you think Bonnaroo is unbearable on a hot year.. Never & I repeat Never go to Wakarusa..
I'll be hitting up both again this year.. My Lemonade expenses will be astronomical.. And ass never swampier.. Bring it on!

CNN is based in Atlanta. Atlanta is in Georgia. Georgia borders Tennessee. CNN talks about bonnaroo EVERY year. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

It's never been so hyped! Incorrect. When was it hyped more? Saw something on CNN Headline News about Bonnaroo 2011. What's next a 30 second ad on NBC Nightly News??

A good pair of ’sidewalk surfers’ is absolutely the way to go. Flops will work, but the canvas shoe style is way better for the Gorge. They’re light, very comfy, well vented (so you dont get swamp foot), dry out quick if they get wet, wont give you blisters, but also wont randomly fall off your foot either. And best of all, you dont have to be seen wearing Crocs! www.sanuk.com/mens-sidewalk-surfers

So happy Radiohead isn't playing so I don't have to consider dragging my ass to that hot, dusty field. Pretty much this. I've envied Roo's lineups pretty much every year (except maybe 2010) but for a festival of it's size and pull, I'd expect something much better. Buffalo Springfield? Yeah it's kinda cool, but wouldn't everyone pretty much rather see Neil Young Solo? I honestly don't give any shits about Eminem. Arcade Fire and Black Keys are everywhere (except, well, you know), and the undercard is super boring. With that said.. Tickets are still going to sell-out in a couple weeks to a month.. Eminem & Lil Wayne is getting a lot of 1rst timers excited about Roo.. There was even a story about Bonnaroo on CNN.. It's never been so hyped!

It's hard to call anything of Pink Floyd's underrated. The band has two entries in the 'Top 20 Best Selling Albums of All Time' list, matching the Eagles and the Beatles for two albums in the chart. Their best-known album, Dark Side of the Moon, spent 741 consecutive weeks (14+ years) in the Billboard 200 Album charts. Their devoted fan base includes millions. And that's not even half of their achievements. So to call anything of theirs underrated is rather unbelievable, but in the case of Animals, it's total truth. For an opener, Pigs on the Wing (Part 1) is a rather fitting start. It's short, cynically romantic, and simple; just an acoustic guitar with vocals with an animal metaphor from the get-go. Then comes Animals' most notable track, the seventeen minute 'Dogs.' Seventeen minutes is a rather long time on one subject, but in Pink Floyd style they make it count, with plenty of David Gilmour's wonderful guitar solos. For those who view rock and roll as guitar solo heaven, Gilmour is your god. Also add to the combination the lyrical genius that is Roger Waters. His imagery with the album-long metaphor of animals to humans is striking and fantastic. The dog in this song is a greedy businessman, who is always first to pick up stray meat, first to make a kill, etc. My favorite line is 'You have to keep trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in.' Even more incredible imagery fills the song as the lyrics describe the painful, lonely death of the dog, specifically from cancer. Next on the album is 'Pigs (Three Different Ones).' Roger Waters' lyrics describe pigs as the overweight, overpowered authority of the 'farm.' This song spends more time criticizing authority figures like Mary Whitehouse (The Brit equivalent of Tipper Gore), than it does maintaining the pig metaphor. The song features plenty of grunts and voice box to decorate the song as it hops from one pig to another. You may have seen the South Park episode where Cartman tells his new fourth grade teacher 'ha ha charade you are, teach-a!' I say no more. Drummer Nick Mason keeps a great rhythm going through the slow track, certainly able to keep the beat. The last opus of a song is the ten-minute rocker 'Sheep.' This is my favorite of the album. It features the trademark Pink Floyd 4/3 jumpy rock beat (as also heard in 'One of These Days' or 'Money'). Richard Wright gets his moment of shine with this song since his solos decorate much of the middle. Waters again delivers a powerful vocal as his lyrics describe the most submissive mammal, the sheep. They are pictured as mindless lemmings that do whatever they are told with no objections. They do rebel, however, as you can barely hear the satirical version of the 23rd Psalm, rewritten to include karate and meat grinders in the middle of the track. Do your research, it's funny. My favorite part of this song is the ending, the crushing guitar is as hard a rock as you're going to get out of Pink Floyd and its anthem-like tone will stay in your head long after the song ends. The last track, Pigs on the Wing (Part 2) closes in its simplicity, ending what is a terrific album. Apart from the music, the artwork of the cover is fantastic. That flying pig is actually an inflatable that was brought into the air above the power station. Its dream-like cloudy sky looks more like a painting, but ask cover artist Storm Thorgerson yourself and he'll tell you, it's photograph. Just because you see two songs just over a minute and three songs averaging over ten, this does not mean the album is a messed up project or a throwaway. This album has such great consistency with defiant, symbolic lyrics, powerful guitar crush and Floyd cynicism. It was never appreciated when it was originally released, but it's totally worth reconsideration today.

Creep the Frog Brigade didnt break up, they essentially changed their name to the Fancy Band. As usual you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. As usual Gramma thinks that he know's.. But he doesnt.. They are two totally different bands.. Get a clue dude! Frog Brigade Members: Les Claypool (bass, vocals), Todd Huth (guitars, vocals), Jay Lane (drums), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), Skerik (saxophone), and Eenor (guitars, cümbüş) Fancy Band Members: Claypool (bass and vocals), Skerik (tenor and baritone saxophone), Mike Dillon (vibraphone, marimba, tabla, cuíca and percussion), Gabby La La (sitar, ukulele and theremin), and Paulo Baldi (drums) Thats an older Frog Brigade roster. Over the years it evolved to include both Lang and Skerik and eventually became the Fancy Band, and then the Fancy Brigade. Skerik is even on that Live Frogs set dumbass. Ask your fellow exile biff what happens when you argue Claypool with me. YOU LOSE. still not the same lineups broski..

Frog Brigade hasn't existed in more than six years. As usual, even when you try to be a normal poster you fail miserably and sound like a complete fucking idiot. Ohh yeah.. Band's never re-unite..

The Thievery Corporation is undoubtedly the biggest name in the Lounge genre. They're in a league of their own in down-tempo music, & started a new wave of electronic lounge music in the late 90s with their unique sounds & productions, with releases such as DJ Kicks, The Mirror Conspiracy, Richest Man in Babylon, Cosmic Game & Radio Retaliation. 'It Takes A Thief' is the best of The Thievary Corporation. It strings together their biggest, most successful career-defining productions, with 16 hand-picked songs, all featured on one compilation. Highlights include massive hits, such as 'Warning Shots', 'Sweet Tides', 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', 'Until The Morning', 'Sound The Alarm' & 'Lebanese Blonde'. If you're new to their sound & admire good lounge music, you'll love every bit of this album. Over the years, they've produced some amazing tracks, and most of them are on this album. Go see 'em if they come to your town..
