[nfire]

I have to say I must stop myself from searching for additional announcements. Better left as a forgotten wrapped gift under the couch not to be opened until completely fed up with cold and snow!

the world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves, left beneath christmas trees in the snow

how bout a neutral milk hotel set

Evil



Can't wait to open more gifts! I'm tired of shaking boxes!   

In the meantime, will be seeing Ralph Stanley and His Clinch Mountain Boys in Minneapolis for my January Bluegrass fix!! He would be an UBER addition to the lineup!!

OK, back to rooting around under the couch looking for forgotten gifts!

Have no idea why  the word "evil" starts my post!! Kinda scary! My computer has become self-aware or something

neutral milk hotel is a band from the '90s with a somewhat genius and unpredictable singer and writer.  this link is the song those lyrics are from.  the whole album "in an aeroplane over the sea" is a work of art, a flowing opera that everyone should spend some time with.  it was based loosely around anne frank's story.  the band broke up back then and stayed broken up but did get together earlier this year for a few shows which sold out rather quickly.  the album was a commercial flop but has received increasing renoun as being one of the best of the '90s.  they move seamlessly from melancholy folk to loud rock and i think they would be an incredible addition to telluride.  not sure the fest would reach out to such a "basket case" type group tho, i could only hope.

Some Theater in there for sure. Intense, operatic (is that a word ,) in some ways.

New Riders Of The Purple Sage my choice for way backs revived.

Beautiful lyrics

I listened to that Lone Bellow album a couple of times, and it did nothing for me.  But hey, if everybody else likes them, that means the restaurants will be less crowded during their set.

They move me. But it could be they appeal to my female persuasions. I hope to be swooning to them in June

[Arizona Girl]

I can see the Colorado Symphony adding something new and exciting up on the stage.  I will make sure to not miss that set!

They've got some good sounds.   Bowties, vests, suspenders, an old time visual to their videos, a few triumphant anthem-type songs, and you've got a nice little Mumford-ish band with a different sound, since they have a female vocalist to help.   Should be fun

When do you think we'll get more names?

Last year the complete line-up came on February 27th.

OK - it was announced on Prairie Home Companion, while the Watkins' were playing, that NC would be doing a summer tour in 2014. Looking forward to that one!

How about we start reaching back to our roots a little more and go for someone like "Riders In The Sky". A little respect in the bluegrass & roots world goes quite a long way!

It's been a long time since "Riders In The Sky" played Telluride (1986,1987,1988) and I'm not even sure if they're still playing. I sure would be nice though.

Damn...missed 'em by a year.   '89 was my first.   Hey, that's 25 years ago this year....wish I'd made all 25, but I'm close!

Well having lived thru the recent 'Car-pocalypse' in the ATL and as the polar vortex takes me into another weekend, I sit hoping for more line-up announcements as we roll into February 2014. I know they'll be along indirectly...

In the meantime, thought some of you might enjoy this Pandora station--it is seeded with this year's bands (known as of now):  http://www.pandora.com/#/station/play/1833194482616843364
