If you’re looking for an excuse to hold on to some of your old Beanie Babies, you’re in luck—this year’s Bacchanal theme will be Baccha90s, according to Bacchanal VP Kay Sorin. We’re not sure where this will fall on the spectrum between Oasis and Spice Girls, so in preparation we’ll be cycling every Now! CD we have through our Walkmen from now until Saturday, April 14th to cover all bases.
Join us as we start arbitrarily start here:
Also: this year, Bacchanal is holding a contest for this year’s tee-shirt design. By 8 pm on March 5th, you can email PDF submissions to mr2870@columbia.edu, subject line “Bacchanal t-shirt design.”

@But really though When are they announcing this
@Anonymous FRED DURST. ha.
@Anonymous blink182.
@AARON CARTER
@SA I don’t care if Aaron’s Party (Come Get It) came out in 2000; if he can be featured at a 90’s throwback party (http://www.canalroom.com/event_detail.php?id=865) he’s 90’s enough for Bacchanal
@Anonymous yes TRIBE! (reunite again? :) and holy shit, if outkast came I would literally shit my pants
@PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get the backstreet boys!!! I would be the happiest person ever!!
@aye An Outkast Tribe called De La Quest.
2 of those 3 shouldn’t be too hard to get.
@... pavement? built to spill? the eels? the orb? orbital? modest mouse? 764-hero? jeff beck? sonic youth? aphex twin? thievery corporation? people under the stairs? guided by voices? the promise ring? the shins? up, bustle, and out? future sound of london? massive attack?
please not some horrible pop… mainstream music in the ’90s was fuckin horrible.
@Anonymous YES! I want to get stoned out of my mind and sway to Built to Spill. Or Archers of Loaf anyone? They just reunited!
@Anonymous NELLY let’s learn us some country grammar!
@bach anal
@CC 2014 A Tribe Called Quest?
@Anonymous can you guys bring lisa hannigan here?
@holy shit mystikal
he’s not in jail anymore so it could work
@nostalgia S club 7, Backstreet boys (one/some of them?), N*sync, Britney, and Christina
(Destiny’s Child? we could never afford Beyonce but maybe one of the other ones)
ohhh my childhood
@Anonymous the theme is just an excuse to get someone irrelevant and not book Lil B. The Based God was too busy skating the streets of Waterfront Berkeley to be making music in da 90s.
@2pacchanal yo obviously its gonna pac. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtoxEheku8A
@cc '14 ALL DINOSAUR JR ALL THE TIME
@Anonymous ugh, I guess I’ll make sure to be off-campus again this year
@ActuallyRemembersThe90s Pop music from 1999 hardly counts as ’90s music. How about one of the really good ’90s rock bands like Smashing Pumpkins, or Silverchair, or Garbage?
@Anonymous Umm, if you think that Silverchair was a “really good ’90s rock band” then we have bigger problems to deal with…I am appalled that you’d even mention them in the same sentence as The Smashing Pumpkins. How well do you “actually remember the 90s”?
@Alum mfw everything you babies remember about the 90s is just late 90s/early 00s http://i.imgur.com/xnhGz.jpg
@Anonymous I can’t down vote everything about the 90s enough
@Anonymous I can’t downvote YOU enough.
@Anonymous Fuck the 90’s
@Anonymous If the Bacchanal t-shirt isn’t tie dyed so as to accurately rep the 90s I WILL CUT A BITCH.
@technically puppy cops were born in the 90s, fingers crossed!
@YAASS... Here for this.
@Double Whammy: Maya and Blackstreet Performing the Rugrats “Take Me There”
@La Macarena!? But seriously, if I can’t sing my heart out to the chorus of more than 1 song, then it’s not worth it.
@._. get will smith to rap the fresh prince intro on repeat.
I’d be happy.
@Anonymous guys..
the theme never has anything to do with the acts booked. calm down.
@Anonymous Dandy Warhols would be amazing.
Sadly, we will probably get another shitty bro-rapper. or sugar ray. can’t decide what’s worse
@Anonymous Sugar Ray played a free concert at Virginia Beach like forever ago. They were awful
@Anonymous i vote nine inch nails!!!
@9 inches????? Wouldn’t that make it hard to go to the bathroom?
@True I’m personally involved in Bachanal, and I can say with utmost certainty that we have booked DMX.
@BACCHANAL MEMBER TROLOLOLOLOL SIKE
@BACCHANAL EBOARD MEMBER DMX WILL BE PERFORMING THIS YEAR
@also true confirmed by another bacchanal eboard member
@Slept with bacchanal board member I can also confirm DMV will be featured.
@Eskimo bros with guy who slept with them I can confirm that we will be hiring TMZ to cover the event.
@CC '13 i hope it’s The Cure or Eminem
@gwen stefani
@T YESSSSSSSSSSSS
@Also... Shouldn’t they be calling this “90’s Throwbacchanal”
Come Bacchanal, get your shit together.
@seriously!!!! they NEED to change the name. no puns no fun
@Anonymous this is genius. for real, no one will blame the bacchanal leaders if they change it now!
@box this BOX THIS
@Anonymous favorite?
@Anonymous ^^^^^NOOWWWWWWW
@The one person who disliked it... is probably from Bacchanal Committee.
@WAKA FLOCKA FLAME What the FUCK
This was supposed to be the year of Waka Flacchanal
@Anonymous Step 1. Book Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Liam Gallagher’s Beady Eye.
Step 2. Coax them onto the stage at the same time.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.
@Underpants gnomes Someone who understands me<3
@Anonymous You’re my favorite person.
@MY DREAM LINEUP Coolio
B*Witched
BONE THUGS N HARMONY
@YES BRITNEY!!!!!!!
@i can't believe that we’re old enough to start reminiscing…..
@CC'13 what’s the date this year??
@Anonymous i’d be pretty pumped for the classic rock bands—pearl jam, REM, DMB.
@Anonymous As much as REM would be great, they broke up last year
@That Feel When the Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr, and Third Eye Blind probably weren’t even put on the table :(
@Josh Pearl Jam is classic rock?? Damn.
Still, it’d be pretty cool if they played.
@Make some Noise for the BEASTIE BOYS!!
@Anonymous If they get Noel Gallagher I will be ecstatic.
@Pfft Liam’s where it’s at.
@electronica is my favorite genre the prodigy // the orb // underworld on low steps holy shit you guys fucked up if you didn’t get them
@Anonymous yo did you guys get the prodigy? is that what this means, fuck yeh
@Anonymous This is code for “decade old has-been groups are really cheap.”
@This comment needs a box
@Anonymous spoiled brat!!
@brah FUCK YEAH SPICE GIRLS.
Usher’d be chill, too, though.
@Anonymous yeah right, we can afford about 2 minutes of usher’s time
