File this one under, “adventures in creative marketing”.

The good people at Bonnaroo are about to reveal the lineup to the 2013 installment of the Manchester, Tennessee based festival. But this year, they’re doing it live. And with Weird Al Yankovic!

HOLY SH!T: Alice Cooper Covers Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”

Yes, you read that headline right. Alice Cooper recently covered Lady Gaga’s hit song “Born This Way” live at Bonnaroo this weekend, and it’s absolutely rediculous. If you really think about it, this song makes sense for him to cover (if he really had to cover a pop song) since the man has always been known for his off the wall and outlandish personality. To be completely honest with you, this cover didn’t actually piss me off. A lot of the times covers of pop songs by different genre’s are really annoying, but this one was a lot of fun …

Jack White to Collaborate with Radiohead?

Yesterday at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee Thom Yorke hinted at some interesting news, Billboard reports. Thom Yorke mid-set dedicated the song “Supercollider” to Jack White, thanking him for a reason they would not say. If Jack White and Radiohead callaborated on a song, i’m pretty sure people’s ears would explode.

You can check out the clip from the Billboard article after the break, but make sure you let UTG know in the comments what you think of this possible collaboration.
