This week on The Disclaimer, WMSE's weekly panel with Ryan Schleicher, Matt Wild and I, it's our annual Summerfest preview show. We offer our day-by-day picks for the Big Gig, throwing out as many recommendations as we can cram into a half hour. Ryan finds some interesting acts on the underrated Johnson Controls World Sound Stage and discovers that the dude from Live is playing the Miller Lite Oasis at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, while I riff on the festival's unusually strong hip-hop lineup and Matt fails to muster much excitement for Mötley Crüe. Also discussed: pre-recorded music, Lady Gaga's stench of failure, and why Girl Talk is the perfect Summerfest act.
