Summer officially arrived last Friday night around 7:40 or so – don’t ask me how they determine that, it seems kind of arbitrary to me. While you may have already

Earlier this week we posted our extensive list of videos from Bonnaroo 2008. Well, we just wanted to let you know that we’ve added about 50 more entries to the
Today I find myself sitting on my couch next to my mounds of used facial tissue, Robitussin and other miscellaneous drugs procured from the local Walgreens, as I’m STILL recovering from this year’s ‘roo. On Saturday of last week I found myself getting sicker and sicker while working in Centeroo. It t’was a combination of cold and allergies according to my doctor. But no matter what it is — I’ll still call it the Bonnaflu. And let me tell you getting sick at a festival is the absolute worst — I would not wish it on anyone except Kanye West.
This was my sixth Bonnaroo, I’ve attended every year except 2005 when I opted for Summer Camp instead. It’s very hard for me not to go to Bonnnaroo as it’s less than 30 miles down the road. And over the years, I’ve learned how to pack for it and be prepared for anything because, unlike most of my friends, I have yet to attend the festival in the luxury of an air-conditioned RV.
For the second year in a row, I attended with HeadCount to register festival goers to vote. We arrived on Wednesday to absolutely wonderful weather. We got our booth in Planet Roo setup for the next day and setup our campsite as well. We spent that evening grilling out, catching up, watching the sunset and just having a good time. And even though I go to Bonnaroo for the music, sometimes the time spent at the campsite is just as important and just as fun. The team we had this year was fantastic. Every team member was top notch and I was once again, very proud to be a part of something as awesome as HeadCount.

As we prepare for My Morning Jacket to own our collective faces at Radio City Music Hall this evening, let’s start the day with a mix of live tunes from the gents. The first mix is full of originals, while the second mix features a varied assortment of our favorite MMJ covers. Man, it’s gonna be tough to get any work done today.
I couldn’t resist picking my favorite MMJ song, Anytime, to start the mix strong. Next, we mellow things out with Golden, which gives way to the orgasmic tones of Touch Me I’m Going To Scream Pt. 2. I’d really like to see Cobra tonight, so I threw that into the compliation before closing the mix with mindblowing versions of What A Wonderful Man and Off The Record.
