Freaker and I will be hitting the Black Sheep Inn show on Friday and will report back...

Why on earth would they do that? Its a solid album from start to finish- not just a single hit platter.

IMO since they play on July 14 in Toronto I can see them being one of the 20 international bands still to be added.

[color:purple]Well that seals it. If Geraldo has confirmed it, it has to be true. USA! USA! USA!

The show Bored to Death is also quite funny- although I don't know how many episodes there have been so far as I have only caught three of them.

Shameless FTW

Yeah that was brutal. Its too bad it was tied in game 7 or there would have been some wicked retribution. I know you guys love your Habs, but did you like Subbans actions after scoring that goal? I had no real opinion on him until I saw that and now well... booooo, what an arrogant ass.

Vancouver in 6 Detroit in 6 Philly in 7 Wash in 6

There are 50 to 60 local acts and 20 international acts that have yet to be announced.

Click on the link above and you shall be rewarded. One newish song (Dirty Moon?) and two completely new ones, plus a great version of Sweet Carolina with EmmyLou.

I'm checking out the NAC performance.

I'm not thrilled about it so far, but a let down would be a stretch. The statement about 20 more international bands has me hopeful. Throw me Yes, Buffalo Springfield and Jimmy Buffett and I would be very happy. That said I am really hoping to NOT go every night after what will be a very busy June so if its scheduled well I will be Winning!

The date on the show with Brian Wilson opening was approx. Jul 10 2001. I have it on cd around somewhere. Great show and the first show I ever went to solo. Edit to add: Yes BNL played with Brian that night, they performed the song "Brian Wilson" with slight abridgments to one line, instead of "Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun", Brian sang "Playing my piano and building castles in the sand".

Its still updating, so maybe he is catching all of the changes. The formatting is getting better and many more slots have been filled in: Bootsy Collins M Ward Spam Allstars Leon Russell Josh Ritter Cuff the Duke Blue Rodeo Braids Gomez Mother Mother Ra Ra Riot

This is shaping up just fine!

That grid would be a hell of a lot of work to have done on the fly for our enjoyment. I think what we have is likely, but there are obvious holes and some days that are empty so lots more is going to be announced officially. Lynn Saxberg tweeted that there was no more funding for Bluesfest in The Byward. Not sure if that means its off, but it can't be good.

Good night rock geeks, I love you all.

ps. His formatting is a bit off, there are a few bands listed on the stage logo above each day which seem to be the headlines for the previous day Ie. Hip headlining on July 9 plus Shpongle, Death From Above 1979!, Big Sams Funky Nation etc

Loads more on someone who captured the grid from the website: http://www.buntola.com/bluesfestgrid.pdf \ Cheap Trick KDTU Galactic The Beauties Tea Party Cancer Bats Dropkick Murphys Infected Mushroom Mark Kozelek Edward Sharpe+ Magnetic Zeros

More please.

Lynn is tweeting who is not appearing.... Eminem Metallica Arcade Fire Tom Petty Kanye Mumford and Sons And the first round of confirmed: Perfect Circle Steve Miller Black Keys Rise Against Ben Harper Tragically Hip Peter Frampton My Morning Jacket Huey Lewis John Fogerty Blue Rodeo Billy Talent Joe Satriani Erykah Badu

Go here after 9pm for the full lineup.

I have been "following" anyone I could think of that might be doing so (tweeting that is) all day long. If I get anything I'll post who is active up over here.

This is excellent. Both the performance and the reappearance of Ryan on a stage. I can't wait to hear the upcoming June tour!

I just keep listening and re-listening to: hoping, praying, wishing that its going to grow on me. I am so utterly disappointed with this one its going to sting for a while.
