OK, I wasn't that thrilled with the headliners but the rest of the line-up has got me stoked. Wilco is awesome, and so is BRMC. Maybe there is room for the Kooks too?? I've always wanted to see Chuck Berry!! Given the fact he just shows up for his gigs by himself and relies on the promotor to provide a back-up band this should be good. The Silver Beats are a Japanese Beatles cover band from England. I can't wait to see this one!!!

Yawn... definitely weaker than last year, although I would go first day to see Gogol, Cope, Rod & Gabby, and Sharon Jones and Dap Kings. Moby's DJ set should bring us all back, though.

It's going to be great to see Moby DJ again. I remember seeing him spin in Baltimore at raves during the early '90s.
