If, like myself, you did not make it out to Bonnaroo because the concepts of 80,000 people in one place, intense Tennessee heat, mediocre outdoor live performances and squatting masquerading as “camping” all sound terrible individually much less all at once; I completely understand. Fortunately, the Internet can give a tiny slice of life from the events that went down. Stereogum outfitted a bunch of artists with Polaroid cameras and told them to document whatever they felt like.. and they did. Among those artists is our very own Tristen who just so happened to document a good bit of tomfoolery and hanging out shenanigans – much of which included the cast and crew of the Nashville Cream.

For the full rundown of artist polaroids, go here. For the group of Tristen offerings head over here.

If you hadn’t heard, WRVU sold its license to WPLN. The Cream has the full details. If you’ve been paying attention at all this certainly can’t have come as a surprise. A total bummer? Sure. But not a surprise.

But what about WPLN’s angle on the whole deal? Well, they’re currently running a story that covers their side of the story. The basic gist? Loads of public radio stations across the nation have two positions on the radio dial – one for classical music, one for news/talk – they’re just following a winning formula.

WRVU will certainly be missed… now lets just hope the HD3 broadcast and WRFN can fill the void.

Slightly unrelated: I heard the station went off the air repeatedly playing Fields of Gold. Even if this is not true, I will choose to believe it is for the humor and absurdity value of it.
