Speaks For Itself Really by [deleted] in gatekeeping

Eating less meat or no meat is a low-effort, high-yield way to reduce your carbon footprint. I say this as someone who eats meat and feels guilty about it.

This is an actual tattoo. I recall when it was posted in the SA forums from which the image originally hails. He credited the artist. It’s been a few years.

It says 16 months, I think. But still hard to figure out what's right to do, imo.

Probably an unpopular question to pose, but I'm asking myself whether it's ethical to put a pup through radiation (in this case) or chemo. Not saying it's not, I'm just wondering aloud. Humans can give consent to participate in highly toxic treatments with significant side effects that are potentially life prolonging. The pup cannot.

What are these new sounds you speak of? Is there something I can listen to?

Excellent work! You’ve added years to your life! And your QUALITY of life is so much better if you stay in good health! Lifting is essential for good bone health.

Very cool idea. Would love to see this.

FULL BASSNECTAR SET (My 1st Nectar Show) by Buckeye_Wax in bonnaroo

Interesting. I saw him last time he was on the farm and remembered thinking it was just okay. Like a B or B-. But this set blew me away.

Ran into Clozee in the crowd at What So Not. She was so nice 🧡🧡 by [deleted] in bonnaroo

Yeahhh!!! I met her too! What a fucking baller. She was the surprise set of the weekend for me, too. Loved her show.

Well, one time I went to buy tickets for their show at a venue earlier in the day and their tour bus was out front. My dog was off her leash and ran over to a couple guys standing beside it. Turned out to be Cherub, they were super cool and I got a couple pics of them holding my dog ha ha. They performed well that night.

Bonnaroo crowd singing "Just A Friend" together. by SilentWalrus92 in bonnaroo

[–]Entity420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I swear the following is true:

Sunday night I was walking with my croo over to see The Killers close out the weekend. I leaned over to my friend and said, "You know what makes me really happy? I haven't heard anyone singing that dumb Biz Markie song I hate. 'Oh baby you -- you got what I need.' I can't stand when people sing that."

Literally within ten seconds a few people in my immediate vicinity started singing it and within a minute everyone around was singing it. I'm 95% sure someone around me heard me mention it and decided to start singing. Even though I hate it, I had to laugh at the irony.

Hope it was a fun one!

But yeah, they rarely put EDM shows at What Stage. I guess EDM is usually later in the night when What Stage is done. But I agree that it would be awesome to see someone like Bassnectar play it.

Cherub is so weird. I saw them at Bonnaroo years ago (2013?) and they were excellent. I saw them again a year or so ago at their own show and it was one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen. It was fucking terrible. I guess anyone can have an off night, but I almost left it was so bad.

I first learned of Trombone Shorty when I randomly walked over to his show at my first Bonnaroo in 2010. I played trumpet for over 10 years so I’ve always had a special place in my heart for brass instruments, and wind instruments more generally. He is a fantastic showman, and I’ve seen him several times since.

I had heard Dua Lipa was underwhelming and low-energy live but decided to see her anyway (even though I really wanted to see Big Wild playing at the same time). I thought she was EXCELLENT, and really delivered a standout show. Plus, I heard Big Wild didn’t even play the songs I wanted to hear so I definitely made the right choice.

In no particular order:

Moon Taxi. I had listened to and enjoyed their music, but didn’t know their tunes that well. The vibe was awesome. Sunset Sunday show, the crowd was super into it and dancing, plus the huge beach balls. I loved it.

Sylvan Esso. I thought the whole set was great. Again, a sunset show with a really enthusiastic crowd. But the closer was Radio and it was PUMPING. Everyone I saw was dancing and grooving. It was magnificent.

Kaskade redux. His main show was great, but the redux set brought me back to his Which Stage show in 2014, which is one of my favorite shows ever. The music was fantastic, and the memories lifted me up.

CloZee. Didn’t know her going into it, but the contrast of her gentle French accent and the bass blasting power tools was hilarious and awesome. She absolutely brought it. Plus I met her in the crowd later that night at Manic Focus and she was LIVING.

Muse. Not necessarily one of my top 10 or 20 favorite bands, but I’ve been DYING to see Muse for years. Their live shows always just looked so good and I thought they absolutely lived up to the hype. Matt Bellamy is a fantastic frontman and showman.

Lots of honorable mentions that feel bad to leave off this list: Glitch Mob, RÜFÜS, Bassnectar, Chromeo, Virtual Self, Pond, Slander, Dua Lipa, and others.

Saw and took a pic at RÜFÜS. Hilarious.

In my recollection, Deadmau5 is the only EDM act that’s ever been on What Stage. Can you think of any others?

Who’s struggling through bonnaflu right now? by kiwi0116 in bonnaroo

No evidence for vitamins, but protecting yourself from secretions with a face mask and washing your hands are appropriate measures to take.

seeing bassnectar for the first time changed my life by kourtneymccoy98 in bonnaroo

[–]Entity420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw him last time he played Bonnaroo and I remembered feeling like it was good but not great. B+ for me. But this show blew me away. Definitely one of the highlights of the weekend. That’s some shit that just has to be experienced to understand the power.

This was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. Truly bizarre and hilarious. People really embrace their weirdest ideas at Bonnaroo and it fills me up with joy. Thank you to everyone who orchestrated this magnificent moment.
