"Last weekend, Jim James played a stunning acoustic set at the Newport Folk Festival  and showed up onstage with both the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and folk legend John Prine. Backstage, the My Morning Jacket frontman told Rolling Stone the band is currently recording the follow-up to 2008's Evil Urges  in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. "We've got five songs done," he says. "We've worked a couple weeks. We're going to do another month. It'll probably be out mid-next year — probably May."

that would explain DMB as a headliner, giving a 70 min craptastic performance this year...the thing is, it was a tweet or an article and i can't find anything to confirm it anywhere....? awful, i know...

i totally see them headlining next summer, though...long overdue

Hey Penny, I found this.  Looks like a farm in Virginia, though.

Dave Matthews buys five Kluge farms

Dave Matthews has purchased five of the Albemarle County farms that John Kluge gave to the University of Virginia Foundation last May.

The $5.3 million sale, which was completed Monday, includes 1,261 contiguous acres south of Charlottesville. Working farms with extensive pastureland, the properties are known as Spring Hill, Church Hill, Maple Hill, Oakwood and Seven Pines. In addition to homes and cottages, the properties include cattle and storage barns, silos, equipment and grain sheds, and a feed complex.

Coran Capshaw, Matthews' manager, said Matthews plans to preserve agriculture and forest land on the farms, with an emphasis on organic farming, and that he intends to grant an open-space easement on the farms.

"The proceeds of this initial sale will allow us to begin to build an endowment ," said Tim R. Rose, the foundation's chief executive officer. "No University funds will be used for the upkeep of the gift properties."

bonnaroo next year is the 10th aniversery so the line up should be truly epic. considering they gave arguably the best bonnaroo performance ever I wouldn't be surprised. lets not forget forecastle though! i would rather see them there.

i left bonnaroo before DMB... the only thing they could do well on stage is announce their end.

Bonnaroo, Forecastle, the waterfront, the stadium, my backyard....anywhere!!!  I'm getting my tix this Thursday for the stadium show.  Wish I was going to OL.....  As far as Broo goes, they need to be Saturday night on the What Stage until the skins bust, the strings break, and the voice goes hoarse.
