Sonic Youth headlined our annual festival in '98. Rusted Root headlines this year. WTF.

This years lineup includes Rusted Root as the headliner, the event also includes Future Leaders of the World, Suburban Legends, Head Automatica, and David McMillin!.

The STA Side stage bands include Felix Sarco, Idiosympathy and Kairos; In addition to the top three winners of the Battle of the Bands which include A.I. Inc, Dragon Slayer, and Tokyo Vertigo.

Evidently Dan The Automator might be in Head Automatica. That's kind of cool.

also from the site: And David is not your average songwriter. He sings with the passion of Howie Day one minute, then the calm ease of Jack Johnson another and is lyrically as capable as either of the two.

David McMillin = John Mayer?

I wish! He's lyrically SUPERIOR! What with the wonderlands and the daughters everything.

well gawd, in the decade I've lived here I've caught Helmet, GBV, Luna, Hum, Sonic Youth, Drive-By Truckers, Bubba Sparxxx, Wilco, Apples In Stereo, Dismemberment Plan, Joan Of Arc, RL Burnside, The Donnas, Jonathan Fire*Eater and a gaggle of others for free on campus. And plenty of complete shit. A lot of complete shit.

"wow, man. my school got shit like Maestro Fresh Wes (if you have any idea of who that is, holla)"

*Hollering*

my school too.

Canadian schools just ain't got the cash. i'm shocked at some of what i've seen upthread. the reactions from the Penn State kids is just one more reason to hate the Ivy League. I guess in their defence, the freshmen would have only been 3 years old when SY signed to Geffen, but that's still no excuse!

Penn most decidedly /= Penn State!

Tulane's campus programming is unbelievably lame. Last week hey had Cake play with Gomez. Next month it's Taking Back Sunday. Tulane is like the worst place on Earth, except for the baseball.
