I'm sad I missed all of you at Girl Talk, but I'm not sad I saw 'Splosions In The Sky. That shit was awesome.

I think a more pure description of Saturday would be Jacksquatch, and Sunday would be Harmonysquatch. Gotta run but will expand on this later.

EDITED POST FOLLOWS:
GUITARSQUATCH!!!!!
1. St. Vincent - I love her. We are getting married. The end.
2. Jack White - HE WAS SHREDDING SO HARD HE WAS BLEEDING ON HIS GUITAR
3. Tenacious D - I have waited a really long time to see them play and they blew it out of the water. Fantastic set.
4. Beck - This was out of control. That guy was out of his mind high and sounded amazing. Great set and great to have the full band from Sea Change with him.
5. Girl Talk - This was an incredibly fun party and I didn't ever want it to end.
5. Beirut - Perfect sunset with the beautiful sounds of Beruit.
Those are not necessarily in order, the first four are tied. I saw some fucking amazing music this weekend.
I was underwhelmed with Pretty Lights but really enjoyed being there with my Sasquatch people and partying.
I am still not much into Feed Me (although it is more interesting than some EDM and we got some Robyn) but being there with that huge group of us and knowing that I helped spread all those glowsticks around was an unforgettable moment. Thank you sincerely to all of you. |

Good to see someone was at the same festival as me. I try to say 'to each their own' as much as possible, but if you don't have Girl Talk or Jack White in your top 5 I can only assume that you weren't at those shows.

I think it's amazing how much being in the pit VS up on the hill can change a performance in your eyes.
Sat way up top for Feist and thought she was painfully boring and at least 5x worse that the first time I saw her, yet I come here to see she was in the top 5 of so many boarders. I think her set must just not have been loud enough to carry that far and I do remember the bass from the dance tent conflicting from where I was sitting.

I don't get the Feist love either, and I was down on the floor.

I only caught a couple songs, and I thought it was fucking great. That's why I was so let down at Sasquatch. It felt like a punch in the face to not bring the whole crew she brought to the desert.

FD pointed out to me that she has incredible control of her voice. You can hear her just as well when she's whispering as when she's belting out the lyrics. Sometimes I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she just sounded so good, and she's translated all of those songs live in such a dynamic way. Just awesome.

A voice alone does not equal an amazing performance. We can all agree St. Vincent has a great voice too, and no one was disappointed by her performance.

I loved Beirut. That set was years in the making for me. I thought it was a very charming set, and the sun was just starting to lower over the hills so it helped make for a beautiful backdrop.
