Looks Like a Flaming Lips/Yeasayer conflict. Hmmmm.... Flaming Lips/Yeasayer/Flying Lotus conflict is surfacing for me... but the performance and showmanship that Flaming Lips put on trumps ALL.

I noticed that there are 8 mainstage bands each day. Last year there were 9 mainstage bands each day. Looks like they might have room to add a few more bands.

Okay: Why are they playing Against Me! against/inbetween The Bronx and DFA. They are the exact same crowd Sleigh Bells vs. Bright Eyes/Death Cab - YES and/or Iron & Wine vs Bright Eyes - Fuck Yes. Thermals also playing around there. I can dig this. Bassnectar is playing wook, but before Iron & Wine? No other dance act listed for the wook? NO LATE ACTS THIS YEAR? ? Sunday main is packed, with the exception of maybe cold war kids and that fitz band. Really sucks that I prob miss Ratatat and Major Lazer for the lips tho. Chromeo mid day - fucking stupid GBV mid day - REALLY GODDAMN FUCKING STUPID I like the first 3 opening the wook on monday. but, srsly? NO LATE ACTS THIS YEAR? ?

You are about to get a passionate advocate who will defend you from know's playful shots.

I understand wanting pics to show it but you know that set times aren't on there right? the list you're about to get isn't any more helpful than what drew posted a bit ago, it's just an ordered list of who is playing on what stage in what order

cbats - it just started working for me. I did not know that the set times weren't up; I assumed that they were, and thus wanted a screenshot.
Still, drew, if you've started the work, by all means finish it for other unfortunate boarders. Thank you again.
EDIT: Now I'm really appreciating your list, Sword. Thanks.

So I'm guessing Ratatat and Bassnectar are late nights, not by the lineup, but by how they've done things in the past. That would mean Yeasayer would play during MM and then Ratatat would start after....right?

Now that I've had some tim to let this sink in, it's a solid lineup. I didn't want to like it because there were no Pixies, no Arcade Fire, no huge surprise (in my mind), etc. I'd go, and I'm sure I'll regret not buying a ticket, but I just don't think it's going to happen this year.
I'll probably continue to post here though.

I am going to get just ripped Friday night and wander around until perhaps DFA sounds like a good idea, but mainly stare at the Gorge. I will then get ripped for Iron and Wine and Bassnecter (who, yuck. But ripped, probably just PERFECT). JUST RIPPED (R-I-P-P-E-D) for The SOFT BULLETIN and Modest Mouse, and then Rrrrrrrr-ipped for Black Mountain and Rippeddy ripped to the point where my ass is fucking glued to the hill for Decemberists and Wilco. I will also see Robyn. I will also be ripped. This will justify all costs and I am looking forward to it and all you on the board before Feb 6, 2011.

Oh and Sleigh Bells seems like they could fit in there too. Sad to miss Deerhunter, but RRRRRRRRIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPED!!

Friendly--Its kinda hard to miss Deerhunter anyway--Have you seen Bradford Cox? He's easily 85 pounds. He'll float away if a breeze comes.
;-) kidding. Try to catch them, if you can. I'm gonna see them. Gotta represent my roots in Atlanta!

Deerhunter rules and Bradford's probably sensitive about his skeletal alien frame so cool it. It looks like they might be up against Decemberists and Wilco, and I will definitely be choosing THE HILL.

Deerhunter before Decemberists on the hill would have been magical.

Not disputin' that deerhunter doesn't rule at all. I'm certainly planning on seeing them. I met Bradford when I was living in Marietta, GA. He's a sweet, humble guy.
It was a bad joke. But I'm good for making the awkward kind of jokes that no one laughs at.

Cath please joke away, we all need it. You will know when I am being serious, ask Hanchy.
Also, it is so crazy how this less than perfect lineup could have been remedied into a wonderful and exciting weekend with the right scheduling tweeks. I don't want to keep beating this very dead mutilated rotten horse, but what a disaster.

HG, I know you're really pissed off about the lineup, so I'm trying to show some compassion by not gloating here. And I know you want to leap on me for using the word "gloating" when you clearly don't think Modest Mouse is worthy, but look at it from my perspective: My favorite band is headlining a day at Sasquatch. How much you think they suck doesn't matter; I'm pretty elated about that. That said, however -- turns out most of my friends feel the way you all do, so I may have a hard time assembling a group to go this year. May wind up being just me and my sister. Eh, I'll get over it. It's going to be a great fuckin' Squatch as usual; at the moment I'm feeling pretty foolish for once again getting so swept up in the rumors and speculation. Aside from this being one of the friedliest sounding posts you've ever made, I see your point and I'm actually pretty excited for you. Seeing that the Lips will be doing Soft Bulletin is probaby the most excited I've ever been during the lineup announcement. I'm not a fan, but I love watching Death Cab perform. I've never seen Wilco; I'm pretty thrilled about that. And goddammit, I love Modest Mouse's music a LOT, at least up to a point, and even if their set is only 50% songs that I care about that 50% will be made up of some of the greatest songs of the last twenty years. Most of all I fucking hate people who sit around bitch bitch bitching about the lineup, so I'm gonna cut that out. This is our party and it's as awesome as we make it; cool for Isaac that he's invited this year, I'm going to smoke mad joints and watch the hell out of Modest Mouse. That's the spirit HG! It's gonna be awesome, no matter what. The headliners have never been a motivating factor in my yearly pilgrimage to the Gorge.
