The festival announcements and add-ons just keep piling up here at LMB, so you know what that means….another round of festie Heady Links for that ass:
Yet another new festival joins the 2008 Season?

The lineup so far includes: the Flaming Lips, The Roots, Yonder Mountain String Band, Girl Talk, Drive-By Truckers, and a bunch of local Iowa bands.
