Oh and yea Zola Jesus and Active Child got the fucking shaft being slated for the Yeti stage. It just DOESN'T work for artists with electronic sounds in their music. Word. Cass McCombs on the other hand, is going to own that stage.

I'm happy to field all staging questions at this time.

It just hit me how awesome John C. Reilly will be to see. If you've seen Walk Hard then you will understand why. That's a pretty random yet insanely cool act they snagged. I'm REALLY hoping he sings 'Walk Hard'. He has to, right?

I know every word to "Let's Duet." I'm definitely pulling for that one.

The only thing that would make this lineup better for me personally is the Beastie Boys. Other than that I'm so fucking excited I want to scream.

It didn't occur to me until this morning that I had seen The Roots on the lineup.
I. Fucking. Hate. The Roots.
Overall, though I'm still feeling pretty jazzed about the lineup -- it's about as good as last year and, when I think about it, about as good as 2009 was (Kings of Leon and Ben Harper? Don't matter WHAT your undercard looks like, man, that is terrible). I know now that 2010 was this wild fluke, but I also know that I don't have to have They Might Be Giants and Ween on the lineup to have a great Sasquatch.
I'm positively giddy about Beck, Tenacious D, The Shins, Beirut and St. Vincent; I'm really happy to get to see Bon Iver back at Sasquatch again, their set in 2009 is one of my favorite Sasquatch sets ever. And the electronic acts? Kinda doin' it for me. If we can't have Amon Tobin then Pretty Lights would be next on my list, and for all the shit-talking I did about Girl Talk recently I think that it is going to be a MAD party on the hill.
Mostly I'm surprised that I'm actually optimistic and not trying to hide my disappointment. Sure the undercard is absolute balls, but the undercard is ALWAYS balls. This is gonna be solid.

Is Apparat going as a band or DJ?

We're about 40 pages ahead of where I finally passed out last night so forgive me if this has been discussed already, but what's up with the late night sets? I assumed when I saw the lineup that it would be Nero and Beats Antique, but the site says they're both in the shack. Does that mean the late night sets are going to be EITS, The Roots, and Mogwai?
P.S. -This lineup is fucking excellent.

They are absolutely perfect for Sasquatch. I'm hoping that they have them co-headline with Beck, just like JA/NIN did in '09.

Ketchup - My guess is they're substituting "rave Friday" for electro late-night acts. No biggie though, the dance tent will be poopin!

Sure the undercard is absolute balls, but the undercard is ALWAYS balls. Seriously dude? I think the undercard is always really excellent, and this year is no exception.

No kidding, the undercard this year is phenomenal in my opinion. They must have made tons of extra money last year with the fourth day to pull off a lineup like this.

Nah I doubt it. None of the headliners this year are anything extravagant. They can afford deep lineups because they skip out on the "holy fuck!" headliners.
