At midnight, on the first full moon of the season, Perry Farrell visited the burial plot of his Lollapalooza music festival, and, invoking the spirit of Basehead through a series of incantations, resurrected his early-90s hippie gathering for another go-round. According to VH1-- the fine people who brought you "Rock n' Roll's 100 Most Outrageous Carjackings," "The Proclaimers: Behind the Music," and "Pop-Up Nikki Sixx"-- Lollapalooza Two-Thousand-Two-Za will be rolling its ominous 18-wheelers up to an amphitheater near you next summer.

At present, it's not known what bands make the bill, though festival organizers claim that they will be searching for acts that have built devoted followings without major radio support (Moxy Fruvous?). And though the lineup may be uncertain at this time, we can assure you that a wide array of hemp necklaces, bungee jump towers, rainforest activists, and credit card applications will be available for any and all attendees.

It seems only five years ago that Lollapalooza treated us to such awesome bands as James, Agnes Gooch and Failure. Perhaps this time we'll finally have a chance to witness Mary's Danish, Big Head Todd and the Monsters and King's X all on the same stage. If they throw in Drivin' N' Cryin', I am gonna freak!
