Woodstock 1969 or Yardfest 2010?

Noice is excited. We’re so excited that were building blanket forts and playing with Super Soakers. That’s right, we’re turning into children. Why?

Because the CEB (College Events Board) just announced that they are looking to see who we want for this year’s Yardfest… about 6 months away. But were already freaking out, like majorly freaking out… because unlike last year’s distressingly vague “fill-in-the-blank” style poll they’ve actually given us a couple options. And the options are… A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. Especially given the Ratatat/Sara Bareilles combination of last year. No offense to those artists, but yeah, this is looking goooood. And since Girl Talk was epic fail we’ve had high hopes that the CEB would make up for that hot mess. Let’s not have Yardfest be another Yawnfest.

Here’s a link to the poll. This blogger’s faves from their list: Andrew Bird (impossible to get his tickets fast enough), Drake (crushworthy), Grizzly Bear, TVOTR, and Of Montreal. But don’t take our word for it, get together with some friends and vote for the ones you want to see! Read the full list of CEB suggestions after the jump!
