Re: bonnaroo
I just realised I know the drummer of this band (well, his sister more so than him). He's of the Crowley High School to TCU to rocknroll star track too...* Ben Harper and Relentless7
Their new album is kinda badass. I'm biased but it could be my favourite yet.
* The Decemberists
Re: bonnaroo
my jimmy comment was very tongue in the cheek, I'll probably have to protect him from katie if we see him.

Ben's new band is rockin' ....well Ben is rockin, I'm still not sure if I'm down with the new guys. They're ok, but honestly I wasn't sure they really bought anything special to the party. However, it's a good show just the same. The drummer dude is actually pretty entertaining to watch, he drums just like Animal from the Muppets.
Having said all that...Ben is playing with Relentless 7 my bday week, so I have tix to see them at the Filmore. YAY!!!! The last time Ben played on my (actual) bday at the fillmore, I got to meet him, he gave me a kiss and wished me happy birthday....gosh that was in 1996. I'm well over due for some more Ben kisses.
Re: bonnaroo
my thoughts exactly.fuck Fallon, Michael Ian Black & Michael Showalter are going to be there.
uh huh. i bet he laughs through his entire set. i'm glad you find yourself funny, fallon, cause no one else does.my jimmy comment was very tongue in the cheek, I'll probably have to protect him from katie if we see him.
my favorite radio station in boston did a march madness type contest but instead of doing basketball teams or bands or whatever normal march madness contests there are, they did the unfunniest comedians. the final two were jimmy fallon and dane cook. dane cook won. i was happy either way. one year they also did the ugliest people in sports, they called it march sadness. haha. i'm pretty sure that one came down to sam cassell and gheorge muresan. notable runners-up included randy johnson and kurt warner's wife.

see that's just it, when I hear this band all I think about is Ben Harper's music. I don't hear anything different. Don't get me wrong it's good music and it rocks! BUT I don't feel like there's anything coming from these other guys that I haven't already heard Ben play. I mean I hate to say this, but I almost feel you could insert any three other decent/good musicians and it'd be the same. Maybe once the album is out I'll feel differently and hear something I missed seeing them live a couple times in Dec. 08 or perhaps when I see them live again in May I'll see a different vibe between them that's more cohesive.I know that one of Ben’s aspirations for this is for people to listen to it with an objective ear and forget what they know about Ben Harper ... and think about it as a new band that isn’t really doing -- there aren’t a lot of bands trying to do what we’re trying to do. That’s not intentional, it’s just the way this band is working.”
After like 15 years of dedicated listening to Ben's music I feel completely confident in identifying his styles. I will say that even tho Ben has rocked some hard songs in the past with his original band they usually mix up the musical styles and Relentless7 are much more hard edge, which Ben knows how to do well too.

Re: bonnaroo
so unfair. jenny lewis/of montreal/wilco/decemberists/mars volta basically happens all at once. jenny plays like a week later at granada, but i'll probably miss it cause of rehearsal, so i can't count on that. i've seen of montreal before, but it was also pretty much the best show i've ever seen. i could just go to the landing if i want to hear wilco, but it's fucking willllco, man. and i can't miss the decemberists, it'd be a travesty. but then there's volta.

Re: bonnaroo
And just for fun, Elvis Costello is in that time as well...seriously, WTF?
R7 is on "really" late.
I see Gomez is playing the Sonic Stage, which means they'll probably do some bad arse acoustic versions of their songs...
Animal Collective or St. Vincent; another difficult choice.
I'm a bit jealous; that lineup looks amazing. The inner hippie in me is excited about that lineup, much to the chagrin of my inner goth, inner punk and inner cowboy...
