Throwback artists we wanted to see at Bacchanal

In honor of last night’s announcement of Big Gigantic as the headliner for this year’s Bacchanal, I’ve decided to make a list of a few performers that should have been in the running and would have matched better with the theme of Baccha90s, namely, throwbacks to the turn of the century (weird, right?). Either way, though, we do get to see a free concert, so life is pretty good even without these throwback acts.

Baha Men
I, for one, would have been content if the Baha Men had been hired to play “Who Let the Dogs Out” on a loop for a few hours.

Sisqo
Don’t pretend like you don’t know the words to the thong song and don’t act like you wouldn’t drunkenly shout to your friends “This was my jam” if Sisqo had been hired.

Ginuwine
If you don’t know who Ginuwine is, Tom Haverford might dump you, and Tom Haverford is essentially Aziz Ansari, and Aziz Ansari parties with Kanye. So it’s like Kanye disapproves of you.

R. Kelly
R. Kelly’s legal misadventures notwithstanding, I can’t imagine that anyone would disapprove to basking in the sun and singing along to “Ignition (Remix).”

    We do pay tuition and the money for this event comes out of that. Hence, the anger at how poorly our money is being used.

      It’s like saying we have classes for free.

      you people complain too much. Wavves is awesome and Curren$y is pretty legit. So nobody’s heard of big gigantic. maybe they don’t completely suck. Who would you have preferred?
