I doubt this is an April Fool's joke so I'll put it out there, Bumbershoot announced the first list of acts to play this year. There are certainly some that I'm really excited to see (some again) and others I'll pass on.
I know there'll be a lot of people bitching about Katy Perry but remember that booking her sells tickets that pay for other acts and you can choose to do something else while she plays.
Here's the roster so far:
Sheryl Crow / Modest Mouse / Katy Perry / Michael Franti & Spearhead / De La Soul / Raphael Saadiq / Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan / The Long Winters / Sly & Robbie & the Taxi Gang / World Party / MSTRKRFT / Roy Ayers / Common Market / UH HUH HER / Dave Alvin and The Guilty Women / Eric Hutchinson / No Age / Matt & Kim / Dead Confederate / The Cave Singers / Swollen Members / Vieux Farka Touré / Lenka / Gang Gang Dance / Todd Snider / Holy F**k / DJ Spooky / Iglu & Hartly / Low vs Diamond / Sera Cahoone / Eleni Mandell / Carrie Rodriguez / The Honey Brothers / Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head / Extra Golden / Cordero / Forgive Durden / Hey Marseilles / Adrian Xavier, and much, much more to be announced.

Latest comment by: miss bliss: ""The Rat" is my favorite song so far this year, that everyone needs to check out right now. The "bang, bang" repetition reminds me of Nancy Sinatra, but in the most pleasant rocked-out way possible. You can find it on their myspace"

Feral Children. Photos by Rustee Pace
Latest comment by: dust: "my impressions: the valley were pretty generic and stooges-y, nothing too fantastic. feral children drew me in with their shoddy looseness, dead confederate sounded verrry 1994/95 at times and i will have to put yeasayer with the growing number of groups that are ...
I must say, it was very fun to go out there armed with my voice recorder and your questions. You guys came up with lots of good stuff!
