So, here’s the dirty little secret about Roo Clues: Bonnaroo rarely, if ever, bothers to announce the answers to the clues after the fact. Sure, once the lineup is posted, you can see if your guesses made the bill. It’s also entirely possible that your answer was completely wrong and that artist just happened…

It’s been almost exactly two years since the release of The Strokes‘ last album, Angles (which came after a five-year hiatus following previous release First Impressions of Earth). When the band was making press rounds at that time, they frequently expressed a desire to continue on with the momentum set by Angles, and planned to quickly record a followup.…

The last time French robot helmet-donning EDM duo Daft Punk released a proper studio album, Skrillex was still just a kid named Sonny who played bass in a screamo band, an up-and-comer named Deadmau5 had just released his very first album independently, and fellow French duo Justice were still two years away from their debut. As much…

How does this fly so far under the radar? Unlike the David Bowie announcement a couple of weeks ago, the new Prince track “Screwdriver” has barely any press behind it. It certainly doesn’t mean that the new track isn’t full on Prince awesome though. This is the first new music he’s released since his…

The first lineup was released this morning, and we’ve embedded players for each of the upcoming artists. The Road to Bonnaroo is crowd driven, and the set times will be announced right before…

We’ve got plenty of great show and album coverage coming up this week, tons of new Bonnaroo information, and an announcement that we can’t wait to make!…

With this, Roo Clue Number 8, we’ve finally all caught up on Bonnaroo’s lineup guessing game. Bonnaroo typically announces their lineup in mid-February, so I’m guessing that we only have 4 more of these to go. Much like yesterday’s clue, this one feels pretty easy. I’m betting whoever is running the marketing is swamped getting…

We’ve only one new clue, scheduled to be released sometime today, left to solve (which I’ll tackle tomorrow), then we’re finally all caught up on Roo Clues! Here’s Roo Clue #7! After a little uncertainty on #6 (though I still feel pretty confident the answer is Of Monsters and Men), clue #7 feels like…

Here’s yet another addition to our Roo Clue catchup game. Roo Clue #6 was released last week and, as is the norm for Thursday clues, came from Radio Bonnaroo, the Bonnaroo app, and this video: Here’s the haiku: Two fathers sit still, Deep in the fields of lava, Waiting for the scream. Ok, I’ll…
