TEO/Tracy wrestling match with AMD as referee...

Tracy's a lover not a fighter.  In other words, everyone here could kick his ass!

He won't show, and if he does, we'll never know it!  And I think it should be AMD vs. Tracy with TEO doing the refereeing! :(

I consider MMJ outdoors worth price of admission (tier 1 at least). Even if the rest of the lineup is coldplay and rebecca black, I'll have no regrets. However, I'll just be really ,really drunk. Bourbon drunk for me is all smiles and blackouts.

My core wish is Fireworks at some point. Maybe you wanna freak out. I mean if Sunday's lineup is just awful, I might just go see if there are ponies running someplace to win back that day's worth of admission

[rmpotsy]

Ponies be running at the downs in ju-ly.  But I doubt you'll be let down by Sunday.

i'm jsut saying worst case, that's what we'd do. wife and i are heading down on wed-mon, so we be doin' explorin' also. downs are one. the sanitorium might be another stop

I was thinking the same thing, easy to please! Ben Sollee, Cabin, and Wax Fang seem like a lock.


Cabin is in my top 10 wishlist too. They hardly play shows, but theyre fucking amazing.

They are easily in my top 5. Such great music and it seems like every time they do play, i fucking miss it. I would think they are a lock...

Ben Sollee
Cabin
Wax Fang
M83
TV on the Radio

Thats all I ask for...

And I hope that everyone there on their high horses who have been going to forecastle forever dont try to correct me on my pronunciation...

Pretty easy to please.

How else would one pronounce Forecastle?  If it's something like Fo ree cas ill I might have climb onto my high horse.

I just say it like it looks like it should sound. But the "correct" pronunciation is something like "fok-sel", not even close to what it looks like.

Damn, I'm gonna have to work on that pronunciation.

On another note, is anyone else feeling a combination of anxiety and dread in regards to the amount of festival lineups that will be announced in the next few weeks? Sasquatch, Hangout and Bonnaroo will all be announced before we get the Forecastle lineup. We may get a glimpse as to some smaller bands that may be on the circuit, but I'm also afraid some of these other fests may steal a desired headliner or two!

Also, don't know if anyone else was hopin' for 'em, but unfortunately Hacienda looks to be a confirmed no-go, as they are playing a festival in Toronto that weekend.

I'm glad someone brought this up. Those of us who work with boats pronounce it as above (it can also be spelled "fo'c'sl"), but I didn't know if the festival used the salty pronunciation or not. So by this you mean it does not? It's pronounced literally "forecastle"?

I'm happy enough to be seeing MMJ in L'ville that I'm not especially concerned about the lineup. But if it's good enough, I may take this year off for Bonnaroo.

Anyway, I forgot to include Raphael Saadiq on my long, pie-in-the-sky wishlist.

anybody think we'll get a new multitudes set?

I'm not. But that's probably because (a) this is the only festie I'd consider going to now, even though it's not a camper (b) if this goes right, it has to send a message that a bona-fide jacketfest can be done, (c) as much fun as I've had at Bonnaroo, their lineup for the past few years has close to zero appeal for me, and (d) I don't think the lineup at any other festival means a negative unless it's the same weekend. More often it seems like a headliner at one festival predicts headliners at others. My main concern is that this pulls true festival bands that are made for outdoor venues and not pure ticket grabbers. Ex: Death Cab. I like the music, but it just doesn't do it for me in a festival environment

[scosby2]

most of these lists look more like what i think the real thing is gonna look like. i could definitely see wilco headlining another night and i'm sure all the bands that have opened for them will be there...doesn't really matter to me though...i'm pretty sure they were listening to us when we said we wanted an actual mmj fest...here it is folks...i just hope we get a show on a boat and all of us get on that boat, because if anyone deserves it, we do

[e_wind]

exactly my man. i don't understand why so many people are bummed out that the announcement was that they're playing and organizing a festival in their hometown which one of their friends owns and runs. That has "mmj fest" written all over it.

While I'm positive that 50%+ of the line up is going to be AC Superfly chosen, if MMJ signs only 20 artists, and then local acts (such as cabin and wax fang are added) then we get one hell of an awesome weekend. think of the collaboration possibilities. If I can see The Roots and JJ of Dear God 2.0 and see MOF do Dear God 1.0. I'll be walking on sunshine. Plus the possibility of Wilco and Eddie Vedder??? I'm getting worked up thinking about it.

1 thing I have to say: Dr. Dog, the Head and the Heart, and a few others that I've learned of through the jacket are playing in louisville between now and then, which could cause problems.

The bell isn't the big, i can't see them doing a show there, that'd be a really low blow to a lot of fans.

[baconus66]

Seriously I don't see how any MMJ fan could not be excited about this.  Hell 100 is only about twice what MMJ tickets go for these days anyways.  If I get 3 or 4 other bands I really want to see it will be a great deal and I fully expect to get way more bands than that.  Plus it is a great excuse to spend a weekend in a really great city.  What more could anyone want?

[e_wind]

and, its on the waterfront, 20 feet away from a river, in the hometown, outdoors, etc etc etc... I'd honestly pay 100$ to see this show alone. I guarantee it will be on everyones list of favorite shows. It'll be up there with certain Roo shows, NYE, Red Rocks, whatever...

e_wind- I gotta say, your enthusiasm for Forecastle over the past week has kept me good n fired up for this.   Thanks!

Damn, I'm gonna have to work on that pronunciation.

You and me both!

For years there has been a NJ-L'Ville connection with college b-ball. We've had many NJ guys play there, and for years we here in NJ were pronouncing it: Lew - E - Ville, only to find out in the past couple of years it's Looooville.

I hope we get a clarification on 4Castle before the fest. ;)  Definitely don't want to be making a Lew E  Ville type mistake all weekend. ;D

[scosby2]

if you can't get excited about this festival then you aren't a true fan...the food alone is worth the trip! i honestly haven't really heard anyone not excited so that's aimed at anyone particular, however my neighbor pissed me off when i told him about it and invited him and he said "are they gonna play some decent covers?" he said he probably wont go so im not saying another word about it and telling him his spot is taken if he brings it back up. might have been the mood i was in but it just rubbed me the wrong way. i love the covers but i'm there to see the band play their songs...(crossing my fingers they go very heavy on the first 3 albums) actually the forum bunch going is enough to get me there...the fact that it's the mmj fest we have been yelling about for a few years is a huge plus!! i do believe the show(s) will be epic and like eric i doubt they  really do end up on a boat but surely we will all have a good chance of making a special show later if they wind up playing somewhere. i really do believe with all my heart the people that come here every day and post their feelings, aspirations, dirty thoughts, and dreams are this bands heart and soul and i believe they think that too. i'm dead serious about that. i really don't think all of this is coincidence. they know what we want...we named the fan club if you think about it. roll call has been around for a very long time if you really think about it. anyway, can't wait to see all of you and even though i may not post all the time i look at this thing all the time and get too excited to sleep when i think about the possibilites of this festival.

ps.
since i get a big red x on all my picture posts, the yacster is supposed to post pics of the frame i just had personally made. i'll talk about the details after he post the pics. all i can say is it's a masterpiece...seriously, check the show your framed posters thread later

I think I agree with what you're saying.  It seems like they are constantly trying to 1 up themselves.  I don't think T5 will ever be topped, as that was a once in a lifetime deal, but I think this is shaping up to be a strong runner up to it.  I know they supposedly don't look at this forum but word has got to get back to them about the response this is getting.  You can only think that they're going to plan accordingly.  In my mind anyway!
