is an annual music festival held near Nashville, in a sleepy Tennessee hamlet called Manchester. Its existence has been a long, strange trip of sorts. See, when it began it was like a total hippiefest, full of misguided college kids and smelly, middle-aged fire dancers. But then something happened. As bigger and bigger crowds showed up each year, so did bigger and eventually more mainstream bands. For goodness’ sake, Radiohead played a few years ago!

ANYway, today is supposed to be the day that they announce who’s playing this year’s shindig, which will happen June 10-13 and will most likely cost you your life savings to attend. And they had this brilliant idea to unveil the bands one by one over a nine-hour span. Only problem is their dinky little web server apparently can’t take all the traffic — I’ve been trying for 20 minutes and still have only received an error message. (A much safer bet is their MySpace page, which presumably can handle it and is also listing the bands.)
