It’s a well-known fact that musicians are pros at making music, and then retiring (or saying they’re retiring and then coming back. I’m looking at you Jay-Z). I’m totally fine with never hearing another 98 Degrees album, but I got upset when I heard the White Stripes were finito. Some artist’s careers end by tragic means (RIP Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson), and some just make tragic music (Right Said Fred).

Then there are the artists who want to “branch out” from music for movies. Mark Wahlberg started making movies and was never heard on the radio again. And then there’s this guy. He was a music GOD, and then decided to trade in the mic for the big screen. But don’t count him out just yet, because we may be hearing some new hits from him very soon…

From the album Icky Thump. Download it here.

Bonnaroo: June 14-17, Manchester, Tennessee

Do you ever wish you should stumble through makeshift tents erected out of multi-colored tapestries interspersed with North Face nylon numbers, reeking of red wine, special brownie crumbs on your dirty t-shirt, a blunt in one hand and a delicious vegan burrito in the other? Well you best get packing and head down to Tennessee to join the throngs of drug addled music lovers.

Technically, it’s the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, but if you call it by its full name be prepared to be mocked by red-eyed hippies with dreadlocks. It’s a four-day, multi-stage camping festival that brings artists of all different genres, from the Police to Tool (both of which are playing this year, oh yes). Besides the music, on the festival site is a classic arcade, cinema, silent disco (which sounds more than a little awk), comedy club, theater performers, and a beer festival (oh hells yes).

For its sweet vibe, smooth logistics, and crazy entertainment options, Rolling Stone named the fest one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll. Come on, you need to get a piece of this action.

Expect to See: Girltalk, The National, Lily Allen, Spoon, Ziggy Marley, The Decemberists, White Stripes, The Police, Kings of Leon, Hot Chip, Pete Yorn

Tickets Run: $199-214 (But can you ever put a price on youthful distraction?)
