Whatever next? A Birmingham in Alabama? I SCOFF at the thought!

Post by: algonacchick on February 01, 2006, 05:18:04 AM: :D

There is also a Birmingham in Michigan, as well as a Memphis and a Richmond.

Sorry that the Manchester you saw wasn't the one you wanted it to be, Alex.

I've never heard of Old Zealand (well, technically, it would just be called Zealand because when they named it, they wouldn't have realised it would be old). It's all just a big Geographical conspiracy AGAINST me, isn't it? >:(

Post by: algonacchick on February 01, 2006, 07:42:44 AM: That's a very good question, Alex. Of course, that could apply to a few other places as well. Was there ever and Old York, an Old Jersey, or an Old Hampshire? Hmmm? What about Old England?

Huh??

Post by: Death In Black on February 01, 2006, 07:04:38 PM: So lucky you guys live in the States. AGAIN us poor Aussies miss out on the goods. However, I do have a recommendation to anyone going...

While checking out a Aussie bands site, I noticed they were playing there.

If you get the chance, SEE THEM. Their name is The Cat Empire -- they play an interesting blend of jazz, rap, reggee, and whatever else they feel like throwing into the mix -- with a lead trumpetter who also does lead vocals, another guy on lead vocals and percussion, an awesome drummer, a keyboardist, a scratcher (or whatever you call those guys with the turntables), and a backup gang of trumpets and sax.

Seriously, they always have really pumping gigs, so hopefully you'd enjoy if you get the chance.

Post by: YoungWriter on February 02, 2006, 06:24:08 AM: I was considering roadtripping.

But damn, $200 (after the service charge), plus probably just expenses and food will be $100.

And then tshirts.

f*ck

I hate not being rich.

Post by: algonacchick on February 02, 2006, 08:22:05 AM: Well, sor-ry, but you asked.

Why is it that I feel like people are being snarky with me?

Maybe it's just me. My emotions are all mixed up. I've gotten bad news twice in the same week, and I just don't want anymore. :(

Post by: algonacchick on February 02, 2006, 10:59:38 AM: Thanks, Alex. I posted more in the Random Ramblings thread.

Back on topic, if I lived closer to Tennessee, I'd so go to see Ben Folds at this venue.

Post by: abraham1541 on February 04, 2006, 10:26:18 AM: this is the kind of music festival tho that people travel from all over the US to go to. my brothers went there from St. louis. and they also release DVDs and CDs from the festival. but chances are, that if ben was on there, it would only be for like one song.
Title: Re: Bonnaroo
Post by: Death In Black on February 06, 2006, 08:03:50 PM: Actually, speaking of Boonaroo and how they do recordings...

Does anyone here have the Warren Haynes album, "Live At Bonnaroo"? It's not for sale in Aus, so I tried downloading it via torrent. It was going great -- till it stopped at 97%... so, I have really bad skips on a large number of songs. If anyone could seed the torrent, I'd be most grateful. If you could message me or something, that'd be awesome.
Title: Re: Bonnaroo
Post by: JamesEarlJones on February 09, 2006, 09:20:53 AM: Are you a Dave fan "Death"? Warren Haynes does a mean Cortez the Killer with the guys on the Central Park CD. Check it out if you haven't already!
