Mastodon are far and away the heaviest act at Bonnaroo. If you think Metallica can hold a handle to these guys, you are gravely mistaken. Not to denigrate Metallica's talent or show, but Mastodon are simply in a different league.
And thankfully, quite a departure from all the jam bands ...

I first heard Aimee Mann's (Wiki) gorgeous voice in the context of Joss Whedon's most successful TV volley, the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Her seductive and mysterious voice matched the tone of the series perfectly in her cameo. Ever since, I have kept an eye out for her, hoping ...

I've seen the Presets twice before. Once, at RnR Hotel in DC, was a fantastic sweaty orgy of dance and fun. Do yourself a favor and get down to DC for this show tomorrow. It will be quite a good time. And if you've seen Cut ...

Arbouretum's Long Live the Well-Doer starts off with some stereotypically new-age string plucking accented by wind chimes. I immediately came up with an image of some hemp-pushing, mandala-worshipping yoga lover and almost chucked the disc in the trash.

I'm not gonna lie, These New Puritans are scratching an itch. One I never realized I had until I heard their debut Beat Pyramid a few weeks ago and it suddenly stopped bothering me...this venn-diagram-intersection-shaped gap between dub, electronic, dancehall, post-punk, balls-out indie rock, hip-hop and a dozen other ...

The first in my series of planned daily artist features, highlighting artists I absolutely can't wait to see at Bonnaroo 2008. First up, those caterwauling, reverbed-out Kentuckyian jamsters My Morning Jacket.
Look no farther than this download of the title track from their upcoming LP Evil Urges (drops 6/10):
