The Black Keys (I missed them last year) Buffalo Springfield Bassnectar Girltalk Primus Dr John/The Meters Pretty Lights Explosions Ratatat Portugal the.Man
Like-
Arcade Fire MMJ WSP SCI (Im not really a fan of jam music, so not really into either of these bands, but ive heard a lot of really good things and i can imagine with who else is at roo there will be some really fun moments at WSP and SCI) Robert Plant The Strokes Florence & the Machine (Ive never really listened to her, butshe was really fun at voodoo) STS9 Gogol Big Boi Deerhunter Opeth Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (I just found out about these guys from the lineup and they sound awesomely fun) Cold War Kids Sleigh Bells Wavves Beats Antique Ray Lamontagne Iron & Wine and all of the superjams. I feel like i'll definatly get to see a little bit of Bootsy at them and a little bit of the preservation hall band. And Of course try to check out any of the potential Jack White shows
Avoid- Theres nothing id really outright avoid, but i dont really care about seeing eminem or lil wayne. Since they might be the only show going on, i'd probably check it out for a minute but just go chill somewhere else. I love using those times to wander around centeroo.
Buffalo Springfield Dr. John w/ The Meters My Morning Jacket Primus SCI Bela Fleck & The Flecktones The Strokes Gogol Bordello Superjam
Might:
The Black Keys Iron & Wine STS9 Gregg Allman Warren Haynes Band Cold War Kids Del McCoury w/ Preservation Hall Man Man The Decemberists Bruce Hornsby Old Crow Medicine Show Widespread Panic Ray Lamontagne Bootsy
Won't
Arcade Fire Robert Plant Lil Wayne Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Matt & Kim Girl Talk Bassnectar Ratatat Portugal. The Man !!! Robyn Scissor Sisters
I don't feel strongly enough about anyone else to list them.

CAN'T MISS Arcade Fire My Morning Jacket Explosions in the Sky The Black Keys Buffalo Springfield
WOULD BE REALLY UPSET IF THEY CONFLICT WITH THE ABOVE FIVE The Strokes The Decemberists Beirut
WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE BUT I COULD LIVE WITH MISSING SOME OF THEM Robert Plant Iron & Wine Girl Talk Pretty Lights Flo + The Machine Superjam Big Boi Deerhunter Matt & Kim Cold War Kids DeVotchka The Walkmen Portugal. The Man Sleigh Bells Best Coast Junip
There's a number of other artists I'd definitely like to check out as well barring conflicts, but not really a point listing all of them. Also, I'm embarrassed to say I know one Primus song off the top of my head so I'll make sure to give them a listen.

Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.
