So NME's Web site is announcing one of the Bonnaroo headliners at midnight EST, and according to their claims said headliner is going to be surprising! After yesterday's torrent of riddles and the fact that every clue could be guessed semi-correctly by plugging in the name of any band that appeals to liberal-arts college students—from Dispatch to Metallica to Panda Bear to Hall and Oates—the only "surprise" headliner I can think of at this point is the original lineup of Color Me Badd. Of course, this is the NME we're talking about, so that surprise will probably wind up being a reuniting relic. Only in this case it'll be Menswe@r. [NME / Bonnaroo '06 photo via AP]

Rumors abound that it might be The Kinks, Coldplay or Oasis. However, none of these would really be surprises, would they?
Only in this case it'll be Menswe@r
I'm there, then.
Has it occurred to anyone that it could be another Radiohead headlining gig? I mean, have we all forgotten that they have an album out now that people over here really like? I know they've already headlined Bonnaroo but...maybe?
OCEAN COLOUR SCENE. NOW MORE THAN EVER.
i love you for saying menswe@r. now where did i put 'daydreamer'?
I hope it is Color Me Badd's original lineup. Anyone see that guy on VH1's Top 100 Songs of the 90s? Looks like he's on the Big Pun diet.
