A couple of you might appreciate this. A friend of mine was having a conversation with one of his friends on skype that resulted in his friend buying a couple of domain names just to Quack with people with fat fingers that left the m off of these sites: www.hangoutmusicfest.co www.bayfest.co
they both direct to the same funny youtube video that is kinda NSFW
Haha...I know the guy who bought those. I was actually telling him the story about the fake lineup reaction (and potential to do it to Bayfest too) when he got the idea to buy those domains.
The ratio has been different every year. I believe it will increase significantly this year in comparison to last though because all of "the heads" love this lineup.
I've been to the 2011 and 2012 Hangouts and there were more frat boy types at least year's fest. A lot of them appeared to be there simply to "be there," and were talking their asses off during the shows, especially Uumphrey's. I tried to get a good position to tape the Futurebirds and some idiot walks up carrying a damn broom, hoisting it in the air like a damn idiot. Festival poles are one thing, but a broom?
I once saw a bro punch a hippy girl in the face at a Dave Matthews show (girl made me go) because he didn't like the way she was dancing. Ever since then I have had bad vibes about "the bro" crowds. Kid got his ass beat though so I guess karma?
Solidrock, both of Atlanta's college stations (91.1 and 88.5) are very good. Way better than ZEW. Sorry, Pablo.
They're funded by the government and public donors, therefore, they cater to whomever they wish no matter how small the demographic. ZEW is a commercial station and as such must serve as many people in the listening/license area as possible pursuant to gov. regulations, FCC, FTC, etc. So basically, you're comparing apples to broccoli (or NPR to the local news).

No, I'm comparing radio stations. ZEW, WREK, and WRAS are all radio stations. You play music, they play music, I can access all three on FM radios. I like the music they play better. I understand that there are reasons why they play stuff that caters to my tastes while you play Semisonic, but those reasons don't mean I'm going to grade you on separate criteria.
You're also making it sound like the government requires you to play a constrictive list of popular music for the knuckle-draggers, which isn't true. Throw some more acronyms at me if you want, but I'm not an idiot. Cheesed*ck.
Why are people suddenly convinced WSP is the Sunday closer? They're headlining Jazzfest, doing 2 shows at Wanee and playing in Alabama in July. Unless it is out of complete desperation to fill the slot, I see no reason why Hangout would book them with them playing 4 shows within a few hours in each direction this spring/summer. Not to mention radius clause issues with Jazzfest headliners.

I concur, doctor. The headliner is mysterous, so it must be the most mysterous man in all of showbiz: BUCKETHEAD. book that shiz.

Glad he got his ass kicked. Sounds like he deserved it. Forgot to mention that last year DMB headlined Hangout and the bros and broEttes were there in force. I'd prefer a larger percentage of "hippy" types because they're usually more mellow and not as talkative

Widespread Panic is just that kickass! Wouldn't matter if WP was playing at The Wharf in July the spreadheads like myself would catch both their HMF show and show at The Wharf. Widespread Panic sells tickets!

I just feel like Panic is the universal backup plan for festivals. They're like the frost bitten bagel bites in the back of the freezer...they're always there if you need em, but they're nothin special.
Seen too many uninspired Panic shows.
I'd hope after waiting this long, the 3rd HLer is someone more exciting or less predictable than Panic.
I've been a lurker on here a couple days. Just decided to join. Although I'd personally like to see Mumford on the beach, GoPensacola.com's FB page said this today:
"Sorry, but while we don't know who it is, we HAVE been told, in so many words, that it is NOT Mumford. We'd like to see them, too."
and, " We honestly do not know who it is -- not hedging, not keeping a secret, we just plain don't know. We only know that it is NOT Mumford."
Bringing WSp at this point would be a loss for a 4th year fest on the beach claiming they can play with the big boys. If HMF wants to play with roo, they need green day or muse- forget any legacy acts except bob dylan. TOur ends in late April. I say Green Day. Like it or not- GD is huge. Top 5 band of the 90s
