Exchanging singers to see if anyone notices.

I think this lineup would be a lot different if Primavera didn't exist. Looking at that lineup again, I really think Sasquatch is suffering because Primavera has become one of the best festivals in the world.

agreed.

No rock band wants to play in front of a bunch of people standing still, except the National.

I gotta be completely honest, there's only about five bands that I'm really missing from Primavera that aren't on Sasquatch - everyone else I've seen recently or will see in the near future (then again, maybe I just don't like the cool music, who knows)

Pink Martini is huge. Among total squares, but huge just the same. They consistently sell out two and three night stands in Portland. They are amazing musicians and they will probably sound incredible.

If they do their cover of 'Brazil' it will be worth having them there.

Really? Off the top of my head...Pulp, AC, Walkmen, PJ Harvey, Sufjan, Ariel Pink, Belle and Sebastian, Simian Mobile Disco, Fleet Foxes, DJ Shadow, Grinderman...list goes on.

Primavera is pretty much the perfect festival lineup in my eyes, and it's been that way for three or four years now. I honestly think Snacks should buy a jet and just shuffle some dudes across the pond.

as for Guided by Voices, im pretty sure they're not as well known to the masses as you think and therefore get the lower billing.

you're missing our point. We don't want them billed all the way up at the top of the mainstage because you're right, a lot of people don't know who they are or care. What we want is them playing later on the wookie (which is a comparable spot to where they are now) so that they can play a long set to a couple thousand dedicated fans. I saw them a couple months ago and they played over 2 hours and that wasn't nearly long enough.

what i've noticed is that this lineup is super shoegaze heavy this year.

And while I enjoy some shoegaze, the genre doesn't strike me as an enjoyable live experience.
we'll see.

Can you point me toward some of these bands? I'm a total shoegaze sucker.

PJ, Sufjan, Mogwai and Mercury Rev were my big misses. I don't like Animal Collective, I've seen Fleet Foxes a ton, and I'm really not into DJ Shadow.

I'm not sure what he's thinking of but the only band I would really call shoegaze is the Radio Dept. who are great and you should check them out. Otherwise maybe he's thinking of Deerhunter and Black Mountain who are uh kinda close?
