Bonnaroo has announced its acts for 2011. If a magic carpet came and took me to the event (which, sadly, is probably the only way I would get there), then here are the top acts I would want to see
Maybe it's my nostalgia talking but the number one band that I would want to see is
Buffalo Springfield. Sure, it wouldn't be like seeing them on the Sunset Strip in 1966 but then that wasn't a possibility anyway.
Here are a "mere" 26 more acts that I would love to see on stage.
Arcade Fire,
The Black Keys
Robert Plant & Band of Joy
Mumford & Sons
The Decemberists
Iron & Wine
Dr. John and The Original Meters
Gregg Allman
Old Crow Medicine Show
Alison Krauss & Union Station
Bootsy Collins & the Funk University
The Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Mavis Staples
Loretta Lynn
Wanda Jackson
Abigail Washburn
Freelance Whales
Florence + the Machine
Justin Townes Earle
Ryan Bingham
Hayes Carll (it would be interesting to see these guys sharing the stage)
The Low Anthem
Jessica Lea Mayfield
Karen Elson
Sharon Van Etten (and for some reason, it seemed interesting to me if these three also shared the stage)
Phosphorescent

Go See Hear in L.A.: Sept.27-Oct. 3
With this early autumn heatwave in L.A. it’s hard to think about doing much beyond sitting in front of your fan. But there is a wave of hot shows this week (sorry for the easy pun) that go beyond the big Pavement/Sonic Youth Hollywood Bowl concert (Sept, 30) and Tom Petty local appearances at the Bowl and the Verizon Amphitheatre (Oct. 1 and 2, respectively).
There’s something exciting every night
Monday: the sensational soul songtress Bettye LaVette starts her two-night stand at Largo. Pete Yorn showcases his new album at Roxy.
Tuesday: Outlaw country star Jamey Johnson will play his “Guitar Songs” at the House of Blues. Sara Barellies has a show downtown at the Orpheum Theatre. But the 5-star event is the Jerry Lee Lewis appearance at the Grammy Museum.
Wednesday: The Drums will make some New Wave-y noise at the Music Box. The Felice Brothers delivers their rugged Americana rock at the Echo. Folk-popster Sarah Harmer has new disc Oh Little Fire that will be the probable focus for her Spaceland gig.
Thurday: The legendary John Cale commences this year’s UCLA Live concert series. Unfortunately, the Autry show headlining Justin Townes Earle has been cancelled since he has postponed his tour plans.
Friday: Ludo will rock up the Key Club with “Whipped Cream.” The School of Seven Bells will chill out the Echoplex. The Fountains of Wayne team up Jill Sobule for a night of catchy pop at the Troubadour while the Avett Brothers, Brandi Carlile and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals make for a rootsy triple bill at Nokia LA Live. Aimee Mann, who is reportedly penning a musical based on her The Forgotten Arm album, returns to Largo. As part of the OohLaLA Fest of French rockers at Spaceland, Bewitched Hands (who like a more dream-poppy Arcade Fire) will play. Check out the band’s fine tune “Work”. The Miniature Tigers swings through L.A. again with a show at the Henry Fonda Theatre with Neon Indian and Perfuse 73.
Saturday: Matt And Kim have a weekend stand at the Henry Fonda Theatre. The Truth & Salvage Co. set up shop at the Troubadour. My top choice, however, is Hayes Carll at McCabes. He is one of the best young songwriters around, IMHO.
Sunday: The week winds down with one big show. The Hollywood Palladium, welcomes the reunited Belle & Sebastian, with the talented duo Jenny And Johnny opening. J & J also have a show at the Troubadour on 10/6.
