They have a decent lineup this year: Silversun Pickups, Violent Femmes, Wolfmother, O.A.R., Built To Spill, Social Distortion, Slaughter (just checking to see if you're still awake), The Wailers, Buddy Guy, Scissors for Lefty, The Cat Empire, Keller Williams, The Silent Years, Lewis Black...

Why not? Pitchfork does one, and they're not nearly as cool as they think they are. Imagine the line-up, in no particular order: Califone Yo La Tengo The Ponys Mr. Lif John Doe KRS Funkadelic 13 &God The National Matthew Dear Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3 Frank Black Andrew Bird Hem Neko Case (she'll also sit on The New Pornographers Set) Lucinda Williams (she and Neko will also do a set together after their own solo sets Sasha Digweed (both separately on emu, so why not together at the festival?) Napalm Death Bloc Party Whoever Ian MacKaye is playing with these days Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins doing a spoken-word slamdance beatdown Mission of Burma with Mike Watt sitting in (seen it -- amazing) Belle and Sebastian Cat Power Sufjan Stevens and our super-secret guest, accompanying himself on piano, with Andrew Bird on violin and Sufjan Stevens on banjo, ladies and gentleman, please join emusic in welcoming....Sir Paul McCartney. He comes out before the announced headliner...Bjork, who shows why she's the real headliner. McCartney joins her for the encore. And the crowd goes wild. Give me half an hour, and I'll get the bill in order. Need more metal and electronica, a little jazz and a classical tent) and we kick righteous ass for 2 days on 2 stages. See you there!

Lots of the Bonnaroo artists were there. Despite the rain, it was a great festival. As this was the only festival I will get to this year, I thought I'd mention it here.
