Adam Snacks, Please Respond

[stamper]

it's possible... [e-mail] goes directly to steve jobs.

[J-Dawg]

Just in case we don't get more lasers, we still have our backup plan: obscene numbers of glow sticks.

[Skoops McKenzie]

Oh what's this? A dead horse? How fortunate that I have brought my beating log!

Now I now that I am a baby-squatch and that being an 18 year old makes me a musical idiot, but I also believe that I am part of that "larger audience" that wompwomp mentioned. Yet, somehow, I still feel as though the 2011 lineup is... underwhelming when compared to the 2010 set (Modest Mouse excluded).

NOW I SHALL POST LISTS!

Bands I would've spazzed about last year (judging by high school age, moderately music literacy):
Band of Horses
Broken Social Scene
Brother Ali
Deadmau5
Ed Sharpe
Freelance Whales
Fruit Bats
Kid Cudi
LCD Soundsystem
Local Natives
MGMT
Mumford and Sons
MMJ
Public Enemy
She & Him
The Hold Steady
The Low Anthem
The Mountain Goats
The New Pornographers
The Tallest Man On Earth
The Temper Trap
Vampire Weekend
Ween

That's 23, without the awesome comedians.

Artists I'm SUPER PUMPED to see play this year (same criteria!):
Foo Dr. Garbanzohters
Death Cab For Cutie
Modest Mouse
Wilco
The Flaming Lips
The Decemberists
Bright Eyes
Iron & Wine
Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Bassnectar
Flogging Molly
Pink Martini
Old 97’s
Ratatat
Wolf Parade
Local Natives
Matt & Kim
Skrillex
K-Os
The Antlers
Noah & The Whale

That's 21.

Now some of you are wondering, "Why, Skylar, did you chose to incorporate odd formatting as well as a smug looking hipster smiley face in your lists?" and for exactly that reason, I have included this key:

BOLD FONT means that they are bands of decent prominence
The Smug Hipster Smiley means that ALL the shitty little hipsters will/did fawn over this band.

Now that we've established that, I have a list of results that I'd like to share:

Sasquatch year	Bands I'm Interested In	Decent Renown	Hipster Shit Bands
Sasquatch 2010	23	17	8
Sasquatch 2011	21	12	9

When presented with this evidence I think it is clear to see, if my musical tastes are to be trusted, that the lineups are, indeed, comparable from last year to this, and, therefore, if Adam Snacks is to maintain his credibility, he must impress the Sasquatch-going audience with improvements to the format of the festival itself!

...I'm sorry, I totally forgot my original point. Coding html-forum tables is a pain in the ass.

How does The Tallest Man on Earth not get a hipster smiley? fer'real

[J. Walter Weatherman]

I don't know why, but it feels really good to have no idea what qualifies for hipster smileys.

[Skoops McKenzie]

I live in Alaska, so my hipstometer hasn't been calibrated to American standards.

[emptyfox]

30 Alaskan hipsters agree, TTMOE is not hip.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

So you don't consider yourself an American then?

[Skoops McKenzie]

It's not whether or not I consider myself an American, it really only matters that primary schools teach that we aren't "continental" Americans.

Thus, extra shipping fees.

[Skoops McKenzie]

@empty: My friends and I are there in the middle, but we're wearing those clothes ironically.

[emptyfox]

Can you enlighten me as to why all the other hipsters are holding their shoes?

[J. Walter Weatherman]

I guess its probably hard to think of yourself as a patriotic American when you can see russia from your house live in the same state as 2012 presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

[Skoops McKenzie]

Nah, everyone up here finds her annoying, and I personally dislike the fact that she doesn't understand a lick of the Constitution. But most Alaskans dislike her for being a quitter.

[know ID yuh]

You can see Russia from Alaska.
