The Forecastle Festival may have pulled off the biggest music news of the year.  Award-Winning My Morning Jacket will headline the festival in July.  The Forecastle setting is exactly the type of music venue where MMJ excels.  You do remember the legendary late night, rainy set at Bonnaro in 2008, right?  More details will be coming soon...but here's what the Forecastle website said today:

Cars on adjacent US Highway 150 are usually the loudest noises heard around Mount Saint Francis, home of the Conventual Franciscan province of Our Lady of Consolation.

There's a lot more than three reasons to cross the river this weekend - if you are a lover of the libations, that is. You see, this Saturday, Indiana is host to an alcoholic's wonderland. One could make a driving tour of it. Just be sure to find a designated driver. And a time machine or some sort of teleporter wouldn't hurt, either. These events are all on Saturday and all looks spectacular.
