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…
As many of you probably already heard, popular west coast festival Coachella finally revealed their much-anticipated lineup last Friday. Just like last year, the festival will take place with an identical lineup over two weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21, in Indio, CA. You can check out the lineup poster below, including Nashville favorites JEFF the Brotherhood and Mona: As exciting…
A few weeks ago, we brought word that the annual competition for a slot at Bonnaroo was returning to Mercy Lounge! 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…
It’s been another great week for the site. We can’t thank you guys enough for visiting and reading and supporting everything that we work so hard on! 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…
Continuing our Roo Clue a day catchup goal for the week, here’s Bonnaroo’s Roo Clue #5, which was first posted last week. As is typical for Tuesday clues, it was hidden in a real-world location: this time, at the Dallas Zoo. Here’s Bonnaroo’s initial image post for where to find the clue: And here’s the…
Sorry I’ve dropped the ball on keeping up with these. I was a little bit out of commission last week. To make up for it, this week we’ll be playing catchup. Check back for a new Roo Clue solution every day! For Roo Clue 4, Bonnaroo decided that we weren’t fit for interpreting the imagery from…
