hello everybody...

this is jon

ian and i just got back from Bonnaroo 2008 in manchester tenn... it was fucking sweet as hell...there is nothing like four days of music, drugs, dancing, camping, drinking, more music and more drugs and more drinking more dancing and no sleep to get the summer started off right....

here is a small summary of what bands i liked as disliked....ranging from fucking sweet to pretty sweet to shitty like kanye west!

FUCKING SWEET- Pearl Jam ...My Morning Jacket ...The Raconteurs...Levon Helm...Les Claypool (i am biased becasue of bass...his show was kind of boring)...M.I.A....Gogol Bordello...Rilo Kiley...Mastodon....The Sword....Ozomatli (i was in front row of sonic stage...probably the coolest thing i have ever been apart of!) Solomon Burke...Grupo Fanstasma...Against Me!...Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings....Robert Randolf and the Family Band

PRETTY SWEET- Metallica...Death Cab For Cutie...MGMT...Sigur Ros...Umphree's McGee....Zappa Plays Zappa...Ladytron...!!!...The Wood Brothers...Colour Revolt...Lez Zeppelin...

REALLY BORING- Vampire Weekend....Minus the Bear...Wille Nelson...Jakob Dylan...Iron & Wine (from what everyone said) Robert Plant & Allison Kraus

FUCKING SUCKED AND SHOULD DIE-------Kanye West (i hope he kills himself after his weak ass performance at bonnaroo.....fuck Kayne i cant believe i waisted my time on him)

BANDS I WISH I SAW BUT DIDNT---BB King, Lupe Fiasco, Chali 2na, Talib Kwali, The Firey Furnaces, Bear in Heaven, Ben Folds, Battles, The Coup and Rogue Wave, Cat Power, Dead Confederate, BRoken Social Scene

Only Show i avoided.....Jack Johnson...(something about him gets under my skin)
