To help go against the "everyone here is from NW myth", I'm from Charleston, SC (were you usually have to drive at least 5 hours to get to a place that has good music).
Which brings me to the fact that I wish they'd just announce the lineup ASAP (if it's for sure finalized as stated before on this thread). My entire summer schedule is depending on this lineup. And the earlier I buy plane tickets, the cheaper they are. I don't know if I can wait till late February. Anybody have any info on what this years lineup announcement date will be?
Last year's lineup was amazing, and had basically every band I could ever want to see. Sadly, I found that out right after laying down the money for Pitchfork last year (which I don't regret, as that festival was pretty fantastic as well).
So back to the topic at hand, daddy wants some Stephen Malkmus & Jicks this year (or a Pavement reunion, or both).

I think it's usually announced around the 3rd week of February, roughly. But with the craziness of the Coachella and Langerado lineup announcements this year who knows?
Well SM & the Jicks were there last year, but a Pavement reunion would be epic. That being said, if Coachella couldn't afford them, I highly doubt Sasquatch can.
I'm with everyone who supports Pearl Jam / KOL day. I'd say that would be feasible.
I dunno about some of these other comments..it's starting to sound like the Coachella board around here.

Here are a few other names that may be touring around Sasquatch and are possibilities:
- Chairlift (band with that annoying handstand ipod commercial song) - opening for Peter, Bjorn & John
- Flosstradamus Sat 05/23/09 12th Annual ETD POP Festival Daly City CA
- After some research I realized ETD POP is a big electronic festival near San Fran. So perhaps they could snag some of these acts for a dance tent(?)
and from this site: http://www.windishagency.com/avails a bunch more possibilities..
- Cornelius
- Dan Deacon
- Dave Seaman (not really sasq. material, unless there is a dance tent)
- Dirty Projectors
- Fever Ray
- Fujiya & Miyagi
- Holy Fuck
- Jose Gonzalez
- King Khan & the Shrines
- Lykki Li
- Peanut Butter Wolf
- Royksopp
- The Field
- The Sea and Cake

I for some reason didn't even consider King Khan & the Shrines (or King Khan & BBQ), but now that seems like a great idea and I hope happens.
As far as Pavement goes, I'd buy a ticket for anywhere anytime to that reunion.

No offense, but hearing people throw around names like 311, Pepper, No Doubt, and Guns n' Roses scares the living bejesus out of me. I'm not sure if I'm alone on this, but past bands like these (ex. Ozomotli) seem to bring a lot of people that only go to see one band, and attempt to make the festival a hell-hole for the rest of us.

You're so not alone on that. I think some people are going to the wrong festival!

Definitely not alone.
But what the hell, even fans of good music manage to be completely obnoxious motherfuckers. Exhibit A: The two or three hundred people in the crowd yelling "COWBOY DAN!" between every song of Modest Mouse's set. Though I've noticed this happens at, well, every Modest Mouse show...

I was thinking this over during my morning espresso, and though I initially shared this opinion with you, that if Coachella couldn't afford them Sasquatch couldn't, I realized that must be erroneous because there's no way Pavement is asking more than say REM or Beastie Boys or Ben Harper, etc, (for those of you who haven't read the article, a Pavement member was saying that the Coachella organizer keeps contacting the Pavement booking agent about Pavement playing but the booking agent responds that the 'price isn't right') so what they must mean when they say the price isn't right is that a Pavement's reunion is worth a lot for the right people.
AKA A major festival like Coachella is dividing its money up with Prince or Madonna or McCartney or whatever, etc, and there isn't a big sum laying around for a Pavement reunion.
BUT a festival like Sasquatch, which aims for a more intimate, more dedicated crowd, could feasibly dish out the money for a Pavement reunion and use them for a headliner. That kind of programming might satisfy the same audience members who post here and complain about shallow mainstream bands attracting the wrong audience.
Pavement would attract exactly the right audience.
I doubt it'll happen, because as big as Pavement is they certainly aren't REM/Cure big, and the whole problem is obviously finding the right place and time for Pavement to come back so that the price matches the economic payoff.
I'm sure the money's there, though, and in an ideal situation it would happen.

Pavement might not be as "big" as REM/The Cure, but if they played a single reunion show, I guarantee the sales would blow away any single night of recent tours by REM/The Cure.

I went to Sas in 2008 and 2007 and can definitely say having the wrong bands play can bring out the less than desirables. I've always thought of Sasquatch as being about peace and love and a friendly enviroment and bands like Fleet Foxes and Polyphonic Spree mirror that.
I wouldn't want to share the area with a bunch of twats rockin' out to Guns N Roses.
That said, I thought the line-up last year wasn't remotely as good as 2007 and considering how much I spent for the VIP tickets, I'm taking a pass on 2009 (unless Radiohead plays)

I don't know why, but King Khan and the Shrines seem to fit the Sasquatch! mold perfectly........ Not really sure about touring schedules in May yet, but some other bands I'd love to see are
Grizzly Bear (Their new material is amazing)
Fleet Foxes (Great set last year)
Late Of The Pier (New band w/ lots of possible touring)
Champagne Champagne (Seattle Indie/Hip-Hop group)
Tom Vek
M83
Wolf Parade
Friendly Fires
Animal Collective (Merriweather is one of the best albums I've ever heard)
Mute Math (Not sure if they're working on anything new, but they are awesome live)
Tapes n' Tapes
Menomena
Born Ruffians
The Rapture
Also, for headliners I'm guessing they might try to get artists that Coachella and Bonarroo aren't having headline. I'm not a big fan of the whole Weezer/Oasis combo, but if Weezer play a Pinkerton and Blue album heavy set-list, I might forgive them for the past 9 years of terrible music. Some other names I'll guess on are
My Morning Jacket
A Tribe Called Quest
Radiohead (I really think this could be the year........... and I say that every year about this time)
Kings of Leon (No offense to the 'Quatch, but if they headlined Glastonbury. I doubt they'd be an opening act)
Morrisey
The Arcade Fire (Sasquatch! people seem to like them a lot)
Coldplay (I wouldn't root for it, but it wouldn't surprise me)
Gnarls Barkley (Never played the Gorge to my knowledge)
Sigur Ros
TV On The Radio
Yeah Yeah Yeah's (Might be big enough to be a day one headliner)
Jay-Z (Just a weird hunch)

I've enjoyed reading everyone's speculations and wish lists. I truly enjoyed Sasquatch last year and have said all along i will buy my tickets without even knowing the line-up, whereas Pemberton (ultimately not happening in 09 anyway) I would have to see the line-up to consider going back. Here is my wishlist of some realistic artists that i would like to see on the schedule in no particular order:
TV On the Radio
Oasis
Neil Young
Franz Ferdinand
Glasvegas
Kaiser Chiefs
Arctic Monkeys or The Last Shadow Puppets
The Arcade Fire
The Dandy Warhols
The Raconteurs or White Stripes
Polyphonic Spree
Klaxons
Editors
New York Dolls
Snow Patrol
The Killers
Black Mountain
Kings of Leon
Birds of Avalon
The National
Fleet Foxes
Flight of the Conchords
The Hives
NIN
Secret Machines
Vampire Weekend
Thievery Corporation
My Morning Jacket
Pearl Jam
I think this is a good balance of headliners and medium and smaller stage acts. Probably too British for some folks, but some of those artists would be welcome additions alongside the US and Canadian acts I have included. Hopefully a few of these will make an appearance. Can't wait to hear the line-up.....
