I like you Dr. Garbanzo. Mumford has always sucked. The "sons" could do much better. Also, I can't stand banjos.
Also also, y'all need to eat more mushrooms and hang out with dudes doing spot on Neil Diamond impressions for the entire duration of The Flaming Lips next time. #4 set of the weekend for me, cake and all.

Nice merge.
Mumford and Sons are meh. I like a couple songs but on the whole they just bore me as a band. Im not entirely opposed to seeing them live, though.
A Flaming Lips live show can be an amazing time. I saw them at the Malkin Bowl in Vancouver in 2010, while they were touring Embryonic, and it was a fucking enjoyable freakout. Wayne does like to talk but it's better when you're at their own show and that's really all your focused on...you just enjoy them as a band and as people and know they're still gonna play a bunch of songs regardless of chatter.
I think deciding to do the Soft Bulletin last year was a bad choice. A much more eclectic set would have been better, catering to more of the crowd and allowing them to pick and choose good songs for the environment and performance length. It's a fucking fantastic album but doesnt translate well to a festival. I saw them at Pemberton when they played a set like that and they killed it...but yeah, when you're tripping at the Gorge and you find that the sunset is more interesting than the Flaming Lips, something is wrong.
Best electronic act for me last year was Bassnectar, regardless of the amusing sound troubles. Great song choices, fun crowd (lol @ glowpocalypse) and just an all around good time. I was tired as shit, burning out from too little E, and hauling a backpack but that was still a high point for me. DJ Anjali and Glitch Mob tied for second. Major Lazer probably wouldve been a good contender but Deerhunter was too tantalizing, and that set blew my goddamn mind. Third favorite performance from last year.
ALSO: Fuck the cake, that shit was a total buzzkill. Also also, a big middle finger to the guy who said he sparked a J with Heems...I didn't have any "star sightings" all weekend, aside from getting my LP signed by Twin Shadow. Closest I got was my buddy spotting Isaac Brock doing double dutches with some other musicians by the trailers near the mainstage (which he later mentioned during one of his intermittent mumblings during MM's set, haha)

If they would have actually played it through it would have been incredible.

Um, have you seen a sunset there? It is more interesting than anything. It is incredible to have a live soundtrack to it.

Oh, the Gorge's sunsets are among the most gorgeous things I've ever seen, dont get me wrong. I just mean that the FLAMING FUCKING LIPS usually have a very very enticing live presence and effects, which I didn't really get last year. And yeah, the fact that they substituted Gash and Sleeping on the Roof for talk about spiderbites was a disappointment.
Especially since, apparently, it wasn't a spiderbite at all but rather an infection from Stephen shooting into veins on his hand...lol.
ps. awesome filter

I think trying to switch it up was a good idea. They played an eclectic set 3 years ago and they'll probably do it again next year.

So fucking good! I was surprised to not be able to find any discussion of this show on this board. THE best performance I've seen at The Gorge since Bjork in 2007, and it wasn't even in the gorge. Incredible. And the weather was too perfect...I really can't put my love for that set into words.

i couldn't Dr. Garbanzoure out what would be the best response for the wonk. i had considered removing your posts from this thread and only your posts... but i wasn't sure how long it'd take for you to catch that.
instead, i went with an off-topic yet hilarious proclamation.
Win-win! |

You are giving yourself way too much credit.
What happened is you misunderstood my comment at how off topic this thread has became as a personal attack against you, even though it was an Weak Shit Superfan quote which has since been deleted. Then to get back at me, you found a quote from a couple weeks ago which later proved to be less than accurate, and quoted that as a personal attack. That is like thumbing through old posts looking for a typo to quote, then laughing at the typo as some sort of revenge tactic, which I would never do because it is 100% extremely fucking lame. Then you tried to play along with my off-topic/off-topic joke by claiming that was your intention all along.
Thus my reply in astonishment at how lame of an attack that was. Comedy, LOL.

Tell me about it! I remember reading the pamphlet thing beforehand and there was a quote from like Karen O or someone describing Deerhunter's live show as "a divine experience", and i was like "ummyeah" but that's really what it was. Watching them as evening faded and night came on was bliss. The lights were perfect, too. Just...gah. Great.
Favorite show was Modest Mouse, just because, well, yeah. That was a perfect experience. And second was DFA because that was one of the funnest pits I've been a part of.

Looking back on the lightning before they came on...I will forever associate Deerhunter with the color purple after that night. Modest Mouse was nearly as good, but all my friends stood up in front of me and left for Ratatat during Dramamine of all songs, which only slightly hindered the experience for me. My Sasquatch 2011 recap looks like this:
1. Deerhunter
2. Robyn
3. Modest Mouse
4. Flaming lips
5. Wilco
Five of the best experiences of my life.
