Depending on when you're listening to this, it's sometime in March.

It's spring.

The leaves are coming out.

The grass is growing.

It's grass mowing time, which means the farm in Manchester is baking.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

It's getting ready for us.

We're under 90 days and then we'll be on the farm at Bonnaroo.

Let's talk about it on the What Podcast.

Here we go.

Alright, bye.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the What Podcast.

I'm so excited guys.

We are 90 days or less and counting depending on when you're listening to this.

We're almost, almost ready to head back to Manchester and the farm.

I'm Barry.

That's Lord Taco.

That's Brian.

How are you guys?

Doing well.

Doing very, very good.

Yeah, it's time flies regardless of whether you're having any fun and we're, it's the

best time of year for me.

So yeah, I'm enjoying the march up the roof.

I'm so glad you mentioned that because just to, you know, most people who have been around

for a while, they know I've been on the show since 2018.

Taco, you've been with us.

Brian been on and off, but have been, you have been a regular now for the last couple

of months.

And for those who don't know, Brian hosts Stone On Air and you can go there and listen.

If Brian, I have to ask you survived the whole time change thing.

I know this is such a big deal with you.

I know it's something that's really, really, it's been burning on you all week.

See how I'm doing over here.

Yes, I just couldn't give a shit.

I could not give less for such an early riser.

Barry, you wake up so early every day.

The hour off in the morning doesn't mess up anything.

I've never seen anything wind somebody up like this.

I think most people secretly feel this exact way.

They just, we're moving on.

I don't care.

You brought it up, man.

I know.

So do you every year and you say, I don't care, but here's 10 minutes of me caring.

I mean for it to be like two minutes and then I just can't help myself.

It's 10 minutes twice a year.

I'm like, move on.

And I'm the guy who says, can you get some new material around here, everybody?

I know.

I know.

Yeah.

You actually lose two hours.

You lose the hour and then you lose another hour listening to Brian complain about the

hour loss.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Hours will never get back.

It gets me every time.

I'm like, God, he's doing it again.

Anyway.

All right.

So we've got a lot to do.

We've got some more Bonnaroo let's we've got a thank you guys, man.

I can't believe how many calls we've gotten, right?

Yeah, I guess we'll soon enough be picking a winner.

So keep those last minute entries into the, uh, you guys will have the number in front

of you.

I don't give us a ring, but we're, we got a lot and we've got as many as we need really

so we'll be picking a winner soon enough.

Next couple of weeks, I would say.

What is it?

Four two three six six seven seven eight seven seven.

That's right.

Wow.

Three six six seven seven eight seven seven.

I'm glad you remember that.

Sometimes the brain works.

Not often, but sometimes it works.

Sometimes.

Yeah.

Keep calling.

And you know what?

Uh, this has been fun.

Um, whether there are tickets involved or not, if you guys have comments, uh, you know,

you want to call in and talk about my hair.

You want to talk about Brian.

Hey, we're open time change, you know, whatever.

Yeah.

It's a verbal comment section.

Y'all don't shut up in the threads.

Come on, bring us up.

Love it.

I love it.

It's been fun.

And, uh, so please do that.

And we're going to talk about, uh, the, uh, outer roo schedule came out.

We're going to get to that in a second.

More interesting than I expected to be honest with you more, definitely more interesting

than I expected.

Yeah.

So we're going to get to that in just a second and we're going to play some of those, uh,

uh, as we're calling them Bonnaroo let phone calls.

And then we've got a special treat in my opinion, at the end, uh, uh, Richard Lloyd, who music

fans will recognize as a guitar player for the band television, um, stopped by my house.

It's crazy as that sounds.

Yeah.

He came by my house with a copy of a Markey moon, uh, that rhino records has released

a special edition of, and we had a listening party and Brian, I hate that you couldn't

be there because you, you would have dug it.

It was, uh, Oh yeah.

Yeah.

It sounded like a big time.

Pretty freaking surreal.

Wasn't it?

Russ?

Yes, it was.

Um, yeah, I mean, there was a, what six or seven of us that, that came to listen.

Yeah.

Including Bella, seven month old puppy.

Yep.

Yeah.

Uh, so yeah.

And, uh, we're, and Richard was gracious enough to give us seven or eight minutes to, to not

only listen to the record, uh, but to talk about it, his experience.

And, uh, so we've got that at the end.

So, um, yeah, those that don't know Richard moved to Chattanooga a couple of years ago

now is it, or has it been even longer than that?

Man, you know, my, my, my clock is so bad.

It's been a while.

Uh, his wife's savings, man.

Oh, you lost all those hours.

You lost that time.

Well, really in the end, you never lose an hour.

If you really want to even it out.

That's so funny.

Uh, Richard is married to Sheila who I've known since we were high school or anyway,

I go out, we'll get into that a little bit, but Richard lives in Chattanooga and, uh,

we've become friends and he didn't have a turntable.

I mean, that's pure and simple.

Really have a turntable and he wanted to hear his own record.

The guy that exclusively released most everything he's ever done on vinyl doesn't have a turntable

and called and said, uh, do you have a turntable?

He probably does like the rest of us and listens to it on Spotify.

Exactly.

So it was great.

Um, but all right.

Yeah.

So what else is going on before we get into outer room?

Any other news, any other, uh, thank, I want to say thanks again to Daniel, uh, for last

week, uh, jumping on and, uh, talking to EDM with us.

We're going to do that again, especially now that the outer schedule is out.

As we've said, we're going to have a panel because a lot of you guys have reached out

and said, Hey, I'd love to talk about it.

And I think one of the things we've learned, Russ, cause we've done this twice now, we've

had a couple of guests on to talk about EDM and it's a, uh, it's a hot topic.

Right?

I mean, it is.

And, um, it's an iceberg, man.

I mean, this is like, unlike any other genre.

I mean, there's so many different sub genres.

There's so much lore that you, you know, really it's, it's hard to take it all in.

So it's, and I've never seen so many people reach out and say, I want to come on and talk.

So we welcome that iceberg.

I like iceberg.

Yeah.

So deeper and deeper down, if you don't watch out, it'll ruin your life.

It's a good analogy for a lot of reasons.

Yeah.

If you don't come at it from this angle, you know, your other guy might.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's her.

So we're not done with it.

We're going to talk some more about it, but I really appreciated all the work.

Daniel did.

Uh, he, he, he put a lot of prep into it.

Very well researched.

Yeah.

I learned a lot.

Um, and we'll continue to learn a lot, but I want to thank him.

So all right, outer roo, uh, for those who don't know, let's try to wrap this up.

So Bonnaroo is the overall festival, Bonnaroo music and arts festival.

It is a camping festival.

So you don't just show up at three o'clock in the afternoon and walk up on stage a, B

or C and see a band and then go home at 11.

You are there all day long.

So there are parts of the 700 acre farm in Manchester that are designed to keep you entertained.

Center Roo is the main area that has what seven stages, eight, nine.

I could go through them.

It's a bunch.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Is that which that.

Yeah.

Plenty enough.

It's a bunch.

So yes, there are shops, there's a post office, there's an actual, you can, you can mail a

postcard from Bonnaroo, which is kind of crazy, but it gives you the idea.

Um, in recent years, what we now call outer roo has developed and that's out in the camp

areas.

And it has its own schedule now and it has become his own thing.

Yeah.

And this is the first time and they've been doing this for a while now, but this is the

first time I've looked at the outer roo schedule.

Yeah.

Let alone like read the line, you know, like, like looked at it and read everything on it.

I mean, like literally picked it up and looked at it.

That's it's the first time I've ever done it because I never really needed to.

And so I, there, there are questions that somebody who's new to this festival will have

that I have about how this outer roo thing is that you guys might, because you've spent

a little more time on it over the last couple of years and, uh, and more recently, maybe

you can answer it.

Cause I look at some of this, I'm like, what in the hell are we even looking at here?

But it's intriguing.

There's names on it that intrigued me.

Right.

And that's why I kind of went into that, uh, especially again, keep reminding myself that,

you know, half or more are first timers to this festival.

So they will have no idea of what we're talking about either.

But I assume Russ, you'll post the poster as we're talking about it.

Yes, we'll put that up on the screen.

And uh, actually speaking of video, I wanted to throw this out.

We just passed 1300 YouTube subscribers, which is huge.

Thank you guys.

That's awesome.

Ding, ding, ding.

That's amazing.

And look at this.

It's its own poster, right?

I mean, this, this could be its own event.

And that is a fascinating thing to me in addition to everything else.

Um, you know, how this works and, and, and as Daniel pointed out, uh, and I never even

considered considered looking at it the way he did where he counted, you know, EDM acts

on the, on the poster, the outer roo poster, um, versus previous years.

But uh, what, what are your, I mean, Brian, you kind of mentioned it.

What are your thoughts looking at it already?

Well, I mean, my first thoughts are, um, confusion a little bit, uh, not confusion because it's

put together in a, in confusing ways.

Cause I've just, I don't have any experience with it.

He's talking about Daniel and what we were discussing last week was from the, the where

in the woods specifically, right?

Cause this, there's so much on here.

That's not even music that I can tell that I'm figuring out more since right before we

came on and we'll, we'll continue to talk about here for a few minutes, but lots and

lots of this stuff is not, I'm guessing EDM music at all.

It's a maybe banjo picking.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But are these, uh, so there's where in the woods I've, I've been

through there just on a, you know, on a golf cart before the festival started.

Sorry.

I'm that guy who was, it was great.

Uh, but I've never actually experienced as a patron, right?

But so where in the woods, that's where the EDM world lives.

I'm pretty sure, right?

Like that's kind of what they do.

All the rest trees, hammocks, uh, it's a cool place to hang out.

So comfortable, so comfortable looking.

Um, but the rest of these, uh, house of yes, galactic giddy up, um, the rest off

the Grove, I have been to the grow.

It's speaking of comfortable and beautiful to grow house of a matrimony,

which I believe was originally put together by Matt from cage, the elephant.

He was one of the, uh, curators of that.

Haley will Williams from Paramore has had an exhibit before for lack of a better

way of putting it.

I don't think she does this year.

So are these all the ones that take place at these pods throughout the

throughout outer.

That's the, these are their individual names, right?

Yeah.

Uh, yes.

And some of us like the house of matrimony is in center.

We were technically right.

Right.

Unless they moved it.

See, you're bringing me to one of my questions because we got, had our picture,

our fake, uh, married picture of taco.

You'll have to find that.

Yeah.

Where we, uh, we, we exchanged vows for about an hour and then, um, well, nobody

was there, but we had nold it shortly after, I promise you, but that was on the.

Consummate.

You did what?

It was not consummate.

That's used to know.

I think that's how you, but yeah, that was not, that did not happen.

We had nold it before that, but that was inside of center.

Correct.

Yeah, it was.

And it was the old snake and Jake's barn.

Um, yeah.

So is this okay?

So did they move this to the Plaza is some of outer room actually in center?

That was just one of my first questions.

It doesn't matter wherever it is, is wherever it is.

Interesting.

Cause when I first heard, uh, we actually watched a couple get married, but it was

out in outer room several years ago.

So see, I think this is probably bounced around.

It sounds like yeah.

Or there's just more than one.

I'm not sure.

Um, my guests being called outer room, this would be on the outside.

I'm not sure.

But, uh, anyway, there's several, so that's all the different pods and the house of.

Yes.

That's so many names that could be its own festival just for that only.

So it's pretty huge.

It's pretty intriguing.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

And then even the matrimony matrimony, uh, you know, it's got geese, uh, beaches.

Yeah.

Well, we talked about, you know, one of our.

Thanks to you, Brian finding is one of our favorites.

That's my point.

There's so much going on everywhere.

Yeah.

Crazy.

And that was part of my notes on a matrimony was when the beach, there's

there's ceremony ceremonies officially by, uh, Anders Beck from green sky bluegrass.

So there's a, you know, a very nice name to be hanging out in the, uh,

in anywhere in GA and then geese, our favorite, uh, plural version of goose.

And, uh, and the course of love of my life now, the beaches, I gotta, I gotta

be around this at some point, if I can, if I can time it out, I'm assuming this

eventually has a full schedule of times and days, you know, we'll find out soon

enough, but that'll be out with the, uh, the schedule usually comes out a few

weeks before, doesn't it?

I was reading a article about last year.

That there were 50 or it was at this year, they're expecting, hopefully to

get to 50 marriages and these are ordained.

Um, yeah, I don't know what group does this, but I've never done.

If you want to get married, you know, you have frog can marry you for all I care.

But we've got to get married again, right?

But exactly, you know, we might have to repeat this and, uh, renew our vows.

But I've got a, I got to say, I'm not sure.

I got to see what this is all about.

Um, with the beaches hanging out there, if nothing else, just a stare at them creepily.

Who's that guy?

Don't worry about it.

And then the rest of it, we got to mention, uh, our good friend, David

Bruce, I am Broneroo his, his I am Broneroo portrait project will return.

Uh, that's so cool.

Uh, does everything on the millimeter for the, uh, film.

Yeah.

It's all film.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

35, 35 millimeter maybe.

If I'm remembering that.

Uh, yeah.

We might have to have him back on the show.

Yeah.

Who knew?

Who knew?

I didn't know our guy, Dave was doing, you know, like had his name on a list.

Hell, I don't have my name on a list.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

Again, for people, you're on a list.

You're out.

Let's be clear.

You're on a list.

The watch out for the guy trying to smuggle too much blood pressure

medication in.

That's right.

It was an issue last year, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Um, but yeah.

So for people who don't know David, uh, is from, uh, New York, right?

Or is it New Jersey?

Yeah.

Uh, upstate New York, upstate New York.

Um, we've become friends.

He, he's been to your house.

He's been to my house.

Um, but it represents to me the whole Bonnaroo thing.

And I've said this a hundred times again, if you're new, if you've been around,

you, you heard this, but he showed up because his daughter wanted to go and he

wanted to go cause he likes music and he brought his black and white camera with

him and started taking pictures.

And that was all she wrote prior, right?

It was probably like, okay.

Yeah.

Now he's every year and not, not only he wanted to go, it was his daughter and his

daughter's best friend.

He ended up, yeah.

Uh, getting in the car with his daughter's best friend's dad.

So two dads that never met before complete strangers drove 12 hours from New York

down to Tennessee.

Uh, and so that was his first trip and yeah, he's loved it and been every year since.

Yeah.

And he ain't a young man either.

It's not like, you know, just exploring to find himself, you know, this is a later

in life, a love affair that's found going more to show how cool this could be.

That we talk about, you know, life changing, especially when you're a young

person, cause your life's changing no matter what.

So everything's a life changing moment to a certain degree.

This is the complete opposite of that, you know, and I find that to be just as

cool a story as anybody else.

Oh, I love it.

I love it.

And, and he started taking pictures and posting them and, uh, our friends at

Bonnaroo C3 saw his work and threw them on the damn list and said, Hey, uh, we'd

like you to do something and, uh, you know, he thought it out and thought it out.

And now he is at his portrait project in addition to everything else that he was

doing.

So, yeah, that's at the rest stop, um, at the schedule.

So it'd be interesting to see what his, uh, when he tells us about, you know,

before, before June gets here, how that timeframe and how that came together.

Right.

Cause to be clear, he's been taking pictures of this for 10 years.

The, uh, yearbook project is something he started last year in conjunction with

Bonnaroo.

It's kind of a group collaboration thing, but yeah, he doesn't shoot, he

doesn't shoot music so much as he shoots environment and people.

Correct.

You'll get in the pit to shoot an artist and then turn around and shoot the crowd.

He wants people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's been so great.

I mean, how many, how many, how many years has he been in the

interviews?

Has he, our interviews, has he been three, four?

Several of them.

A few.

That's when I first met him was when we had churches about three years ago.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cool.

Yeah.

He dropped in for that.

That was cool.

Yeah.

So yeah, he's not there to shoot bands.

He's there to shoot, uh, portraits, environmental portraits.

And, uh, it's so cool.

I'm glad to see him on the list.

And, and again, kudos to Bonnaroo for recognizing a cool thing and, um, making

it happen.

So, uh, all right.

What else on this?

Uh, I'm purposely not getting too deep into the where in the woods because I

got nothing for you anyways.

So we, we want to have the panel, uh, which we will do very, very soon.

Yeah.

That may be kind of focuses on some of these just to have a better idea.

Um, even in one of the comments, I don't read a ton of the comments, um, in all

the places, but I do read a lot of them actually, and we appreciate them good,

bad, or indifferent.

Um, I, I saw, um, a lot of people wanting, you know, talking about these,

these different artists and stuff.

And, and that, that's the kind of stuff I need to know.

Cause I can, or yeah, I w I'm sorry.

I lost my train of thought.

They were talking about, you can't just listen to a, uh, somebody said

anyway, a Spotify playlist, and then just all of a sudden understand it.

You just, it just doesn't work that way.

And I agree.

Maybe some disagree or agree.

I agree hearing people tell me about it more.

I can, um, I can understand a little bit better.

Yeah, exactly.

And, and, uh, so that's what we want.

And I, I want multiple opinions, uh, because as you said, uh, again, back

to the iceberg, uh, Russ, I think that just nailed it.

I mean, you know, you can go deep on this as you want to go.

I mean, yeah, there's, there's so many layers.

So there's so many opinions, you know, right.

Another thing from the house of match Mooney that, uh, Mooney,

wherever they say it, they're the, the, from queer, uh, speed dating and

friendships, like, I kind of want to do that.

Didn't that.

Yeah.

You don't have any friends, so you might as well.

I don't, I've lost most of my friends.

Most girls don't want to talk to me anymore.

And I don't know.

That sounds like a, uh, an interesting, I did a guided meditation last

year of Bonnaroo for crying out loud guys.

I'm finally having some self growth in this life.

And maybe I want to sit down and speed date a Bonnaroo.

All right.

Yeah.

Please come to Bonnaroo and be Brian's friend this year or just friend.

Brian needs a friend that came out of, uh, Daniel and Sharla's, uh, real

robust, right in that one of their, uh, I think they, yeah, they did a

form of speed dating or something.

Yeah.

Oh, is this their creation?

Uh, some what related maybe an early version they did.

Uh, this one, I'm not sure who's running it.

Sure.

Pretty sure they had something.

And then boot scooting boogie nights.

Tell me about that.

Yeah.

That's our guy, Corey Smith, right?

Corey from C3.

It's a nineties cover gig, right?

There are nineties, uh, country, country, country, uh, which does nothing for you.

Ain't for me.

But as he told us, it was started as a joke, not a joke, but started as a,

uh, probably with a little bit of a joke.

It started as a fun thing and it's blown up, right?

Yeah.

It's been, uh, it's no longer a joke.

I mean, they're really middle-aged, middle-aged people love them.

Some nineties country, that nineties decade, Barry, your age change.

I was raising babies.

It changes you in the nineties and it does some of us.

The nineties is like the greatest thing that ever happened.

Not like even I'm like, oh yeah.

Nineties country.

That was the best country.

Okay.

That's a stupid statement.

Uh, you don't need to be Brian's friend anymore, but it beats the

hell out of what they're doing now.

Uh, there's some of that, but I mean, the tie, the, the name of the band tells

you everything you need to know, right?

Boot scooting, boot scooting, boogie nights.

Yeah.

It sounds like a blast and, uh, and Corey's great.

And, uh, like he said, he, you know, it's become a thing.

They're huge in Nashville.

I mean, they're, you know, like we're huge in North Korea.

They're probably really huge in Nashville.

Galactic Giddy up is, uh, where you'll find that in outer roo this year.

So I think it's awesome.

Good for them.

Pretty cool stuff.

Pretty cool stuff.

It'll be a lot of fun.

It'd be one of those where you'll know every word, whether you know it or not.

Oh yeah.

There'll be a lot of Shania Twain, Brooks and Don Garth Brooks, Travis Trit.

Uh, Lulesska will go on and on Trisha Yearwood.

All right.

Uh, what else?

I think that's pretty much the other one that jumped out at me, you

know, just named God complex.

I think it's hilarious.

That's I wish I'd have thought of that one.

So, all right.

So good for that.

We're going to revisit, uh, where in the woods, probably doing a whole episode.

Right.

We'll get a panel for that one.

There's plenty to get into.

Yeah.

Uh, there's some other stuff that we've got planned, uh, but right now let's do you

ready, Brian, let's spin the wheel and, uh, see who other people recommend.

Hit it.

Hey guys, it's Pondo.

I am going to tell you two bands, one that I think all of you will love and one that

is definitely way out there.

Let's start with the one that you will love the heavy, heavy, the play on Thursday.

They're an up and coming act.

I definitely think you guys will love the sound of that band.

They just, they have some great harmonies and I think they will have a mass appeal

and the band for way out in left field.

Got to go with the garden.

This is a band that I think truly is going to be a watchable band.

Be a watchable, enjoyable train wreck on stage.

Um, they wear makeup.

They're a little bit all over the place.

I don't know if they, they know exactly what they want to be.

And I'm expecting other chaos of sheer enjoyment at their set.

Pondo out.

Watchable, enjoyable train wreck.

I made two notes.

One of them was that watchable, enjoyable train wreck.

And the other one was utter chaos of sheer enjoyment.

Pondo good call, by the way, first of all, just, yeah, you know, I, I think

watchable, enjoyable train wreck, uh, describes our show pretty well.

Or my life.

Brian's life.

Yeah.

Kind of see where Casey Jones is going to take this train, right?

I forgot the garden from one of our past, uh, discovery episodes.

They're the ones that wear like the kiss style makeup.

Um, and it's just, uh, it's a duo it would appear.

And so, uh, I don't know if I'll be there or not heavy, heavy.

That's also the second time we've heard their name.

They're, uh, they're very, very small band.

I double checked on them again last night.

He's right.

It's the kind of music we would like.

It doesn't jump out that I have to be there or not, but, uh, definitely

is something I think I would like.

I'm glad to hear from Pondo too.

Yeah.

Shout out to Pondo.

Pondo is a legendary Bonnaroo figure, right?

If you, if you know, you know who Pondo is.

If you don't, you will.

Yeah.

If you've seen a guy, uh, wearing a Viking helmet with the horns and

a big clock around his neck, uh, that's Pondo go up and say hi.

Uh, he'll give you a card.

He'll give you something.

Um, yeah, we've had them on the show.

Uh, go back and check that out.

He's great.

Good call.

Thanks Pondo.

Thanks for listening as always.

And thanks for being a friend.

All right.

What's next?

All right.

Here we go.

Hey, Barry Brian Braden Taco.

My recommendation for the what podcast listeners to check out this year

has to be Josiah and the Bonneville.

This band is led by Josiah Lenning, who is a self-taught musician who

grew up in Morristown, Tennessee.

He spent his early days writing music and learning the piano.

And by, by age 17, he had already decided to jump out of high school

and pursue a music career.

Josiah was living in his car during this part of his life and decided

to audition for American Idol in 2007.

He would then go on to be the only contestant who did not advance the

top 24 to be signed to a major record label deal.

This band falls into the folk indie genre, and I would compare his music

style to Zach Brian or Noah Khan.

I'd recommend you start by listening to the tracks, basic channels

and burn from this album.

Do not miss this set or in a few years, it'll end up being

your biggest regret of 2024.

Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to the what podcast for hosting these

contests year after year brainstorming.

My submissions has become one of my favorite Bonnaroo preparation traditions

with all my love, Lucy from San Antonio.

Lucy from San Antonio.

Yeah.

I was going to say this is her publicist.

I think this is the band's publicist.

I love it.

You get like a whole Wikipedia article in a voicemail and in full

transparency, that call was twice as long as that.

She went deep into the to the American Idol.

How the week of guys like, okay, we don't we don't we only have so much time to get

to. I want to get to as many as we can.

Sorry.

I thank you.

We got plenty of time.

Yeah.

But she knew all about this band and good for you, Lucy.

Yeah.

And Lucy also a former Patreon of the show too.

I believe.

Yeah.

That's why I'm like you, Brian.

I'm like, oh, that's a publicist.

And then she hooked me back in with the whole thanks to the what podcast

long time listener thing.

I'm like, she knows, she knows how, you know, the, you know, hey, this is Josie or

Jude, uh, Lucy, I want to hear this man.

See you later.

Bye.

Okay.

That's probably not going to get you on the show.

Like she understands it.

And I love, I love the terminology.

I know it's not new regret.

And I look forward to a time when we're, when we're, when we're

and I look forward to a time when we're more towards off season or a time

that's a little dead where we can sit back.

I want to go through 20 years of the stuff that I missed.

And you, I mean, you guys, it's going to be an all star.

It's going to be a hall of fame, all star roster of music.

I haven't seen in 20 years, the Rue Gret episode.

I love it.

Five.

It's like a five month tease.

We'll talk to you later about that.

I, I, I told Brad former cohost, my worst, I haven't shared it with you guys yet.

Cause it's, it makes my head hurt.

Well, part of it is when you look at past festival posters, just, I'm just

talking about just a poster itself.

Cause it's fun to do.

And you're like, Oh my God, eight of those bands were there that year.

And you just didn't know.

And then part of it is just negligence on my part.

Cause I, yeah, there's, there's reasons.

Uh, there's always reasons.

Um, those lists are impressive.

Those will be good store.

Yeah.

The bands we missed.

The Rue Gret.

Did you even, did you even go?

You were a hundred yards away and you did what?

You didn't even go.

Didn't go.

All right.

Play us another one.

Here we go.

Hey guys.

How's it going?

First time, long time.

Uh, my name is Dan and the band, I think you guys should be checking out on

this farm this year is Milky Chance.

I'm pretty surprised to see them this well on the lineup.

Honestly, I thought they were more popular, but they've got a lot of good hits.

They're, they're European duo, kind of like a indie band.

Um, sort of like a psychedelic influence as well.

I've seen them in concert a couple of times before.

Got a good presence, pretty upbeat, great vocals, great instrumentals as well.

So yeah, I'll definitely be there.

And I think everyone else should as well.

They've got something kind of for everyone.

Just general good music.

Thank you guys.

Have a good one.

Thank you, Dan.

Um, Milky chance.

I was surprised to see how far down on the list they were to their, if you call

Fred again on Sunday, the top list by the top line by himself, he would be on

one, uh, one, two, three, the fourth line down Milky chance played the what stage

in 2017 at like four o'clock, three o'clock.

It was so much fun.

Weather was great and I had just heard of them.

They were pretty new at the time.

Shows you how time flies.

No matter what that was seven years ago now.

And, uh, I love Milky chance.

I can't sit here and act like I know their music real, real, real well, but

what I do know, I like a lot.

Can you remember Brian?

I mean, we've always talked about bands that moved up that have returned even

the next year or the second year or three years later.

I don't remember going down too many going down.

Yeah.

Do you know?

And I think that's one of those, that's not a story quote unquote that would lead.

Like we wouldn't, we wouldn't see that as quick as we would see the ones that,

that continue to move up.

That's a considerable, uh, drop.

What I think happened with Milky chance in 17 was that they were on a big record

label push that year and they got a one every now and again, someone's on the

what stage you're like, what's, what's, what's going on here?

Sure.

Well, that's some kind of a rain or the witch too, could be this as well.

That's an arrangement.

Like, Hey, we're going to throw them up here.

Give, give you a spotlight here.

Cause we're giving you a big push right now.

They might be on the other end of that.

Clearly they're still making music.

It sounds exactly the same.

They have a changer style.

Um, but I'm not even sure it's a derogatory thing.

I don't mean it that way.

Um, no, no, I mean, most people would look at it that way.

When, when, especially when I asked a question the way I asked it,

and I didn't mean it that way.

I just haven't, I can't think of any other, you know, well, there's songs,

their song stolen dance, I think is the name of it.

Uh, their most popular song in 17, it just hit, it was all over the radio.

It's huge, like all indie rock hit.

And I just don't think they've had any sense.

They still got good music since then.

So, and who was it?

Oh, I shouldn't even ask, but Brad always pointed out there's only been like one

band that was there that had a number one at the time.

Wasn't fun.

It was, uh, I'm not, yeah.

Oh, I feel like to go back and do a trivia question though.

Yeah.

Uh, he, he, Brad wouldn't know right off.

I don't remember.

It was somebody like fun.

Anyway, that's an interesting, um, but yeah, I would think Milky

Chance would be Sunday on a this, that tents like two o'clock or something like

that, you know, early, early afternoon tent show, probably good call.

Good, good recommendation.

All right.

Let's do another one.

Hi, this is Anna.

I'm a teacher in Knoxville, Tennessee, and I, um, want like to enter the

contest to win tickets.

The artists that I'd recommend you guys check out is Japanese house.

She is a British indie pop band with really cool vocals.

She's playing Friday night.

She's on the second to last line and she's been one of my favorites

since her first album in 2019.

Indie dreamy kind of pop and from England, um, not to be confused with

Japanese breakfast, who also played Bonnaroo a few years ago, who, yeah, I

definitely recommend you guys.

Listen to them and that's it.

Thanks.

Bye.

Thank you, Anna.

So this is kind of like that, uh, don't get, you know, beaches, not to be

confused with beach colony or beach house.

This is Japanese house, not to be confused with Japanese breakfast,

which is what I immediately did.

I thought, oh, I know who that band is.

Right.

Yeah.

I did the same thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, I don't.

Um, 2.1 million listeners on Spotify.

So pretty big, uh, act.

I'm going to use that as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a,

I'm going to use this as a way to describe another band almost, uh, or

performer before we get out of here, probably, but I, I felt cranberries

meets Annie Lennox.

Oh, wow.

Bye.

Very chill and kind of transicle.

If that makes sense.

I mean, that might not actually be totally accurate with a quick listen,

but, um, really, really chill.

Really?

They're not a lot of aggressiveness to the music.

See, I never, I think of Annie Lennox is being very aggressive.

That's why I'm, that's why, well, that's why I was trying to the, the, the, the

cranberries mix mix in there of take linger.

Do you have to kind of put those together and you've got, I don't know.

Yeah.

I like, I like what I heard.

I didn't make those comparisons.

Um, I have to go back and listen with that in my head now.

Uh, but yeah, I, to me, Annie Lennox is like ultra aggressive in a good way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cool.

All right.

Well, there you go.

Something else to think about.

All right.

What's next?

Hey guys.

My name is Chris Partridge and my number one recommendation is group love.

I saw them for the first time at shaky knees festival last year.

And I instantly fell in love.

The two lead singers are actually a couple and their energy is just

completely infectious on stage.

They're mostly known for their hit single tongue tied, which I'm sure everyone's heard,

but they have so, so many other good songs.

They have an amazing discography and they just came out with a new album to, uh,

I'd recommend checking them out.

And if you already are completely familiar with group love, then I would

also recommend military gun.

They're kind of a high energy rock band with some early punk influence.

All right.

Thank you guys.

Are you guys, I mean, we're going to talk about EDM, which is electronic

dance music, as we've said, but am I wrong in that the, a good bit of this

lineup feels pretty heavy with singer songwriters?

Is that something that I'm seeing or we just, I'm just randomly,

that's where I'm landing.

You might've landed on that a lot, but there's it's just so, it really is so diverse.

Yeah.

It's so diverse the more you each week when we do these shows is when I spend

the time on this, I don't spend Wednesday at three o'clock sampling music, but when

I do, I tend to feel like, and maybe that's why I'm getting mixed up and just trying

to throw together these combos like, Oh, it sounds like this and this and this

and this, and I'm like, brain's exploding.

I'm hearing so much stuff, but there's plenty of it though, to answer your

question, at least yes, there is plenty of the singer songwriter stuff, but to

me, I'm getting a lot of the, I'm not, I'm not going to do a good job explaining.

No, I'm in, your answer is honest.

And I, I get it.

It just feels, I was listening this morning to some of the recommendations

and it just, I don't know, maybe I'm overreaching, but it, it feels like

we've talked about with Brian and Stephen who booked the bands that it,

it feels really curated.

I don't know why this year seems.

Yeah, maybe a little more curated than in the curated in the past.

And maybe that is a design in the sense that it, because maybe they knew from

the jump where just, we don't have a, a Bonnaroo, we don't have a lineup this

year that jumps off the page with a lot of stuff.

I mean, Fred again is a headliner.

I mean, sorry, it's just not going to resonate with most people.

And maybe they thought, well, if we can't do that, or maybe it was a,

we don't want to do that.

Maybe if we're not going to do that, let's curate the hell out of this thing.

Okay.

So you bring in somebody who is going to be more susceptible to, and that's

probably the wrong way, but, but the influence is going to be easier and

better to, to navigate an entire weekend.

Maybe.

Thank you.

I'm not a hundred percent wrong.

Yeah.

It's what's going to keep me entertained the whole time I'm there.

And it just feels like they've done that.

But it seems like, but to your singer songwriter comment, because I usually

think of kind of sleepy kind of sway and stuff, it's a, there's a lot of,

let's just sway to the music and a lot of stuff.

And that definitely cigarette, you know, with cigarettes after sex being

one of the biggest names, uh, mid, mid to level card on this.

That's what they are.

That's what they are.

Take a gummy and hang out in the field.

That's what they are.

And I look forward to it very, very much.

And I think a lot of this stuff is fitting right into that.

And it might be a done completely by, uh, by, you know, on, on, on purpose.

All right.

Clay is another one.

All right.

Let's see.

Here we go.

Hey guys, this is Caitlin.

And I've been a listener for years, really excited for this year's lineup.

I wanted to recommend Ryan Beatty.

I'm not sure if he'll be y'all's vibe exactly, but he's super talented.

His album Calico came out last year, just saw him in concert in Nashville.

And it's amazing.

But yeah, check him out.

He's one of the small artists this year.

And other than that, I'm really excited for all the small artists,

especially this year.

I'm sure y'all already heard of them, but just to name a few that I'm

personally excited to see cigarettes after sex, I think FLK will be great on

the farm and, um, Dominic Pike and say Webster, but yeah, hope y'all have a

good day and I'll see y'all.

Bye.

Thank you, Caitlin.

Ryan Beatty.

I didn't even, that was one I didn't get to.

Yeah.

Don't know.

Don't know.

We're going to add it to the, I can't wait to listen to the place.

That one is a circle to add to the list.

So, yeah, thank you to that.

And we always, uh, Brian creates a Spotify playlist with these recommendations.

So you can go check out everything we're talking about since obviously we can't

play the songs on the podcast because of copyright, but we do make a playlist.

They will bust in the door and throw the handcuffs on us and drag us out

in the middle of the damn recording.

Shut us down.

So, yeah, I'm excited.

We'll put the show notes.

We'll put the Spotify playlist in there.

Right.

How many more we got Brian?

Got, uh, we'll get to two more.

I think we're good on time to do that.

Yep.

And then we're going to, um, play the, uh, Richard Lloyd thing.

All right.

Get on out of here.

So spin the wheel.

Here we go.

Hey, my name is Joe.

I really want to go this year.

I'm graduating from grad school in May.

Um, so it'd be really cool if you could, um, if you could, um,

so it'd be really cool.

I was able to get a ticket.

There's so many artists that I want to see, but I think my best

recommendation for like a lower level, not as known artists is goth babe.

They just have the most pure, just vibrant vibes and they just make

you so happy listening to their music.

It just sounds like sunshine and I can already see everybody just dancing.

Like nobody's watching and having such a good time at their set.

I think it's on Sunday.

Yeah.

And then like Neil Francis, um, I'm really excited for the summer.

I set the top and it was pretty like, it's just, it's going to be so much fine.

And I really looking forward to the opportunity you've given.

So yeah, happy rule.

Thank you, Joe.

Yeah.

Goth babe.

Yeah.

Either y'all got to this yet?

Little bit.

No, but she sounds hot.

Well, it's not a she.

It's not a she.

I know this is also a Daniel.

I already made that mistake with Alice Cooper, you've been doing this for 35

years, 40 years, huh?

Yeah.

Uh, if you thought Alice Cooper was a, she, you got bigger problems.

That's very, very, very true.

The, uh, I did get to listen to this last night.

I actually thought this was, uh, an interesting artist.

The couple of quotes from her here that they have the most pure, uh, vibrant

vibe and their music just makes you happy.

When I heard the band named goth babe, that's not what I was expecting.

Vibrant vibe.

And you know, I was expecting exactly what the name is.

That's just a clever name.

This is actually a guy who is like a vlogger for the most part, like we

would used to call and he's kind of a live out of his van influencer time.

I looked at his website and much of the video is yes.

Yes, well, in a much more primitive way than, uh, than, uh, but still very

luxurious, uh, than taco does, but the whole, you know, I show my day.

I, Hey, here's where I wake up.

Here's where I am to end the day.

Now I work on my song that, that whole culture that's real.

Some of it's fake and fabricated.

Some of it is completely authentic.

That's what goth babe is.

I did look just a guy.

I did that up a month or so ago when we go, cause we got a couple of recommendations.

Um, yeah.

And, uh, I actually, uh, reached out trying to get an interview.

So hopefully that'll happen.

I haven't heard back.

So, well, a guy who works, who does this kind of life sounds like this is right up

his alley of something to be involved in.

I just made a note as far as the music is concerned.

I just wrote keys, beats, light guitar, fat effects, think like echoes and things

like that, and then maybe like some loop technology might use some loops based on

it.

It is a Oregon Portland or the band.

Washington state is the last I saw, but he moves around, I believe quite literally

all over the countries.

I like, uh, I like her descriptions.

Sounds like sunshine, which goes back to what we were saying just two minutes ago

about swaying in a field, uh, to goth babe.

Yeah.

But there are certain bands.

We've said it before that just take you to the field.

Right.

And you hear the music and you're instantly in either the field at the witch or the

what, and, uh, you just, you know, it there's, there's some, you can, you know, what

works there too.

Right.

If you've, if you've been there, you can, you, you hear something like that would be

good in the what field either at two in the afternoon or at two in the morning.

There's yeah, yeah, you know, so that's cool.

All right.

One more, let's do another one.

One more.

Here we go.

Hey, what podcast?

My name is Brady.

My biggest band that I'm excited to see is Ethel Kane.

Y'all really have to check her out.

Her vibe is really cool.

And she has a whole lore behind the persona of Ethel Kane.

And there's a whole story.

It's really interesting.

Her music's great.

Her voice is amazing.

And I'm really excited to see her live on the farm.

Second time Ethel Kane's name has come up today.

Yes.

On Saturday, I see.

I didn't get very far with it.

I did give it a minute or two, but certainly not enough to get a good feel for it.

But I wrote down 80s anthem-ish sounding and then also boring.

Sorry.

But I want to, I want to know what this lore is.

I mean, he called said she's got a whole lore.

Yeah.

What, you know, didn't expand on that.

She's on the third line of Saturday.

So, um, that'll definitely be part of the added to the playlist this week.

For sure.

So what I'm hearing, we've gotten several dozen recommendations.

We've done three shows.

We've got, um, a few repeats, but not a ton, right?

It's not like everybody.

Yeah.

Lots of variety in there.

Good spread.

Yeah.

It's very cool.

We may even do this one more time.

I don't know.

I mean, we keep discovering.

Um, we got a lot of time to kill.

That's what we got a lot of time to kill, but you know, uh, I don't

mean, I mean that in as positive a way as possible.

Well, and, and to that point, is anybody who knows, knows, you

know, Brian is a curmudgeon and, um, this exercise has, uh, inspired

him to discover new music, right?

So that's the point.

It's been fun.

I absolutely agree.

If you were like, Hey, let's break down the Coachella lineup.

It'd be like, no, thanks.

Yeah, exactly.

Or let me pretend real fast.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

That was, it's kind of like the, with the March of Madness thing here, you know?

Oh yeah.

That, that team, they might win or they could lose.

Exactly.

Yeah.

They might be a good band or they might not next.

All right.

All right.

So we're going to shift gears a little bit.

Uh, as, as mentioned earlier, uh, I get shoved to the side, Brian, we don't need

you.

You got to stick around.

I'll be quick.

Uh, but I get a phone call a couple of three weeks ago said, Hey, uh, Rhino

records is releasing Marky moon limited edition, 5,000 copies.

Do you want one?

And, uh, let me think about that.

Let me think about it.

Yeah.

Yes.

And then do you have a turntable?

Cause we'd like to hear it.

And of course the person calling is Richard Lloyd, the guitarist, uh, on the

1977 classic album, uh, that makes everybody's top five list top 10 anyway.

Yes.

I guarantee you've heard the song.

If you, even if you don't know the names or who we're talking about, you have, if

you hear the first, the opening, uh, lick to this song, you're going to be, oh yeah.

That song.

Yeah.

And one of our, uh, recommendation episodes, one of the Bono roulette's, one of

the, the calls we got don't have the notes in front of me right now.

One of the, the, uh, first I think it was from rolling stone comments that was

a quoted in a quick search was the vibe of 1980s television, the band.

And again, of course, not a household name by any stretch, but anybody who

has paid attention to the evolution of, of, of music from the sixties, really

seventies, sixties, seventies plus on televisions right there and with anything

punk infused, which is just about everything since 1985.

Thank you.

Correct.

Television was the house band at CBGBs.

Um, that's, and then bio ends there bio ends there.

I don't even know anymore.

Yeah.

And I've said, uh, and the bio doesn't end there by the way, no talking heads,

uh, blondie, you know, this is the Ramones.

This was where punk, uh, came to the United States.

Uh, and Richard was there.

He now lives in Chattanooga.

Um, he's, uh, I've had several occasions to interview him.

We talk about this album.

I think he mentions it in this little short interview, but, um, he knew, he

knew when they were recording that record, that it was going to be huge and

that it was going to be important.

And that is always stuck with me.

Um, one of the, and I'll just share this.

One of the weirdest moments I've ever had, um, Mitch Ryder, um, devil with

the blue dress on also lived in Chattanooga for a while he's, he's since moved back

to Detroit, um, but he called me one day and said, I've been asked to, um, send

to submit a song for this event in Detroit.

I need a guitar player.

And I thought, what are the chances?

You know, so I called Richard and said, would you play, uh, acoustic

guitar while Mitch sings?

And he said, sure.

Uh, you know, we ended up in Mitch's living room.

So Richard Lloyd, Mitch Ryder, me, Sheila and Megan, and, um, they sat down and

worked out, uh, a slower version of devil with a blue dress on, and then Richard

hit the Metro, is it Metronome?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's keep time on his phone.

And I'm like, uh, we can hear that.

And Megan said, are you sure you want that?

Because we can hear it in Richard said, I need it.

Oh yeah.

No, those are in a lot of more recordings than people would ever really realize.

Well, and I'm like, I'm not telling these two fricking legends how to do anything.

So I just hit record and, uh, it's literally like a, a tick tock tick, tick, tick, tick.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And they did it as fast or as slow as you want to try based on the beat that you want to play.

And I, I, that night called my brother who you met the other day, Russ Mike, and said,

uh, is that normal?

And he's like, not so much, you know, don't want to hear that.

So, no, it's not normal, but yeah, it's not surprising to hear it.

Cause it, it, it could add a interesting sound.

Anyway, thanks to, uh, Adobe, I was able to take it out, uh, for the most part and,

uh, submit it, but I still, it was one of those most surreal moments until the other

day, when we sat in my living room, listening to Markey Moon with, uh, the guy who created

those unbelievable guitar sounds.

And he had some funny stories.

Uh, if you've, I don't have the album cover, but we can hold it up.

If you look, uh, Billy, uh, is kind of orange and Richard looked up at me and said, do you

know why he's orange?

And I'm like, I have no idea.

He said, cause he eats a lot of carrots.

We, they actually, I thought it was a joke at first, but he was serious.

I'm not saying it's a joke.

I don't get it.

I'm, if it is a joke, I bought it, but it was just one of those kinds of things.

So this record is, um, it was pretty cool.

Wasn't it?

Right?

Yeah, it was a back to the carrot thing.

I mean, you know, these, this is before digital anything.

This is before Photoshop, you know, today with one click, you're like, Oh, his skin

tone's a little orange.

I could, you know, clean that up.

That didn't exist back then.

So it's like how he was shot is how they, uh, put it on the cover.

Yeah.

And this record is so Andy Johns is the engineer, the, uh, Led Zeppelin, Stones.

I mean, everything about this record is just so important.

And the, the pressing is incredible.

The sound, right?

Yeah.

So clean and pure and the drums are beat boosted up.

And anyway, it was just a really special moment.

And, um, uh, thanks to Richard for letting us do it.

And, uh, uh, you know, you guys can go Spotify and listen to it or whatever.

Um, but anyway, yeah, the record was sold out, right?

It was 5,000 copies.

They were gone.

Yeah.

And I got 0, 0, 0, 0 of 5,000.

Hey, look at that.

Nice.

And he wants it back.

So, yeah, probably give it to him for whatever.

I don't blame him.

I don't blame him at all.

All right.

So that's it.

That's a, what else?

We're going to listen to that and then come back and then we'll wrap this up.

Yeah.

First of all, Richard, thank you for doing this.

Cool.

Well, thank you for making that record.

Yeah.

It was a lot of fun.

It was a good, good number of years there.

This is the first time you've heard the new Rhino.

This is high fidelity release.

Yes.

What did you think?

Nice.

It's very good for a bio record.

Sounds good.

Bios usually snap, pop, crackle.

Yeah.

It's really clean.

You said a second ago before we get on that you heard this so many times, but.

Oh yeah.

Here today like this, you have a couple of memories talking about Billy, why

he's orange on the cover.

Right.

Billy, like health food, but he ate too many carrots and he's got keratosis.

He turned orange and we were telling him to stop and you're turning on him.

And you kept doing it and finally went to the doctor.

The doctor said stop eating the carrots.

You're going to remain, you know, can come permanent.

Orange.

What else, what else is going to do your mind when you're listening to this for

the umpteenth time, but hearing it.

Well, the drum sound crisp, I hear the high hat a little better.

The kick drum, right away the kick drum is so, so good.

The pick drum is so impressive.

Of course there's a nice bandy John's.

You did a brilliant job.

Especially when they get taller, but the drums too, it doesn't sound like

bottom or anything like his usual drum setup.

Yeah.

It seems like I remember reading your book.

Um, when you guys first came here to do the session, uh, John's had drums kind

of like the, like, like the bottom sound.

Yeah.

Well, we were set through like one o'clock and you didn't show up till

four, so we were a little peeved.

But then he said, he spent the previous evening setting up the drums

and getting a drum, drum sound.

Wouldn't we like to hear it?

I asked him how he did it.

He said, he set the drums up, pressed play and then ran into the room

and put some drums down.

Well, it sounded just like bottom.

I mean, I swear to God, it was that thunderous, you know, crap.

And he didn't understand why we wanted not huge drums, but, uh, big guitars

and not so big drums.

And he was like, oh, you're into like a new yoke thing.

Like it's a, you want to sound bad, like the velvet underground or something.

Yeah.

But we were like, no, not quite like that.

So anyway, he reset, reset the drums and there we go.

They sound awful good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Every drum's separated, punching.

Yeah.

We, you and I talked a couple of times about this and we had a long conversation.

So years ago, and I remember you telling me when you knew this was

going to be a great record.

Oh yeah.

Well, we were prepared.

We had been playing these songs for three years, but over and over again,

you know, we used to do CBGB four nights in a row, two sets a night.

So that was good practice.

Yeah.

And, uh, you know, to get everything camera down.

How much along those lines then, how much playing was there in the studio?

If that's the right word, you knew what you wanted going in, you had it down.

Or was there a lot of experimentation?

No, not a lot of experimentation on that record.

It was all already done.

Anybody else got questions over there?

Yeah, that was the right question.

Yeah, that's the right, that's about how loud, how loud were your ants?

Not that loud.

No, we listened back pretty damn loud though.

And I remember Andy Johns fell asleep.

Uh, we came into the studio and he was nodded out over the, in his producer's

chair and we asked the assistant engineer, can we record something?

And, you know, while he's sleeping, just turn the, turn it down in the controls.

And so he said, sure.

And we did, uh, I think it was, um, pretty sure, what was the name of the song?

Bumpy lump bump, dumpy lump bump.

Yeah.

Prove it.

Yeah, prove it.

And afterwards we were playing it like first soft, then a little louder

and a little louder and then Andy starts waking up and he looks over and he sees

it, you know, this thing is coming out of the speakers and goes to the engineer.

Did I record this?

And the guy says, yes, Andy.

Yeah, we're all in the back.

And he goes, Oh, it sounds great.

I did.

I'm great.

Oh, I'm so great.

It sounds wonderful.

But he had set everything up.

So yes, it's all his fault.

Did you, when did you know that this Rhino recording was going out?

Uh, not until they let the management ask me how many copies I've wanted.

So you didn't have anything, okay.

Didn't have anything to do with it then.

But no, I had, I personally had nothing to do with it, but it was in good hands.

Yeah.

What, I mean, what is it?

It's all these years later when you, you see that it's, I mean, this, this record,

we were talking before, it still sounds new and fresh.

Yeah.

That's cause we didn't do anything like specialty tricks to it.

Yeah.

It was a good play.

Just playing.

All right.

So there you go.

We're middle basically of March.

We're right around 90 days till the blessed event in June.

Um, especially if you're like me and you're coming in on Tuesday,

you're, you're way under 90 days.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it's moving.

It's moving and, uh, I'm, I, it, time can slow down.

It's all good.

You got plenty to do before then, but, uh, yeah, start walking, start hydrating.

Yeah.

Start getting the, uh, the glutes kind of stretched out a little bit, but, uh,

it can't wait, cannot wait.

It's start digging out camping gear, start, uh, checking, make sure everything's there.

You got all your tent poles.

You got, you know, start putting them in the corner.

Why now?

No more music than I've ever known on a Thursday in 20 years.

Well, they've been doing it for maybe 15 years on a Thursday.

And I'm trying to think how the hell can I do Thursday through Sunday?

I don't know that I got this kind of energy anymore.

Um, but there's now music all throughout this festival.

Thanks to listeners to the show and friends of the show for, uh, for helping

make that discovery possible, we're going to continue doing it until June.

Yep.

Just because I got you.

Um, we have a couple of ideas for shows and I'm not going to put them out there yet.

Uh, we know we talked about EDM.

We want to have a panel.

Uh, we've got a couple of other things, but maybe if you guys

listening have some other ideas, we always do, uh, you know, recommendations,

tips, do's and don'ts type of thing.

Uh, one thing we haven't really done is, um, dive too deep into the camping changes.

Maybe we can figure out, uh, get some guests on who can talk to us about

their experiences, um, since the changes, you know what I mean?

Um, like you can get GA camping, but VIP center.

Oh yeah.

Or you're in nine three one, if you happen to pull out all the dollars, but

then you only had the regular more, a more, a more, uh, we'll just call it

GA ish kind of actual admission.

How did that work?

That would be an interesting question.

I would like to.

Yeah.

We did it a little bit with, uh, Berman and beyond, uh, with those guests, but

we haven't really done it too deeply with, uh, Bonnaroo.

So yeah, so jumping down there, let us know.

Yeah, let's do it.

Yeah.

All right guys.

Uh, thank you so much.

Uh, another good show.

I think, uh, thanks again to Daniel for last week and you guys who have reached

out and said, you want to be part of the, uh, EDM panel.

Uh, be checking your emails or text or whatever.

Try to set something up and get that together.

All right.

Thanks.
