What is this?
The Music Game v3.0 is a competition. It's a game where 9 contestants, living all across the country, compete to make the best mix of the group. There's a 12 song limit and while it's an unwritten rule, mixes featuring good never-before-heard music are generally favored. All mixes are created, duplicated 9 times, and anonymously shipped to a central location by April 1, 2007. And once they're numerically tagged, these mixes are then divided up and sent to each participant, who has approximately 1 month to listen to and evaluate each mix before voting on the best of the best. The prize for winning is bragging rights as well as a much enhanced music collection. Superlatives are also awarded based on categories that are thus far undetermined.

t-real are you going???
A lot of good names but personally I will admit I was slightly disappointed that a few people were omitted that I was hoping would appear. Also, there are a good number of bands I haven't heard of...so lots of listening to do between now and then, which is exciting! Any suggestions??
I haven't bought tix or anything, but I've been wanting to go to it for a few years now. Maybe it will work out this year.
If I do go, I definitely want to catch:
My Morning Jacket
Queens of the Stone Age
LCD Soundsystem
M.I.A.
Ghostland Observatory
Peter Bjorn and John
Yo La Tengo
The National
Patterson Hood (of Drive-by Truckers fame)
Blonde Redhead
Spoon
Dylan
