Pretty Lights wins most overrated artist and undeserving headliner of Sasquatch 2012. Shearwater? They're like, whatever. It's so funny how differently I feel about that statement. I think Pretty Lights is a better headliner than Bon Iver and Jack White. Something for everyone I guess.

I sort of have the same feelings toward Bon Iver as a headliner, but I just happen to really enjoy his music.

Ah, you've activated my trap! Time for me to look over my logs... yeah, I log every band I've seen since '08, some OCD shit. Anyway, it's up to 190 unique bands (not too bad, probably well below some of y'all but ain't not no anti-negative average joe numbers neither). There are a bunch where I don't really remember the details of the set. Only a few do I remember watching the set and going "MY GOD THIS IS NOT HOLDING MY ATTENTION AT ALL AND I WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BAND AT THIS FEST OR WANT THEM TO BE DONE SO THE NEXT BAND CAN COME ON OR BE DONE SO I CAN LEAVE, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION" and they are these: - Doves, maybe? The heat may have been a factor with this one - Robyn Hitchcock - Shearwater- Echo & The Bunnymen - Flashy Python - Tegan & Sara (the second time, first time was alright) - Lower Dens - Little Scream So maybe not the worst band, because I don't know every band, but of the bands I do know they're the worst. Band. Although I do admit that this (http://beenlookingforthemagic.tumblr.com/post/1427157150/how-to-tour-in-a-band-or-whatever-by-thor-harris) which I just found, is awesome.

I sure hope Silversun plays on Sunday or Monday. They were one of the loudest bands I ever saw at Sasquatch. Killer live band.

Nice! It seems a lot of artists I want to catch look to be playing the days I'll be there. Still anxiously awaiting word on Blind Pilot, though. I asked them on Facebook but never heard back :/

Is it even debatable that fun is hands down the worst act on the bill? Honorable mention: Walk the Moon. Tenacious D Um no.

Just a heads up, dog19, a lot of sources are defaulting to Friday for artist performances since it's the start of the festival and the schedule has yet to come out.

I feel reasonably certain they are playing on Friday.

Unless Silversun Pickups are playing a DJ set, I don't expect them to play on electronic Friday.

There is a tone of non electronic stuff playing on friday. Monster of men, polica, explosions in the sky, and santigold are all not electronic.

That seems like too many mainstage bands for Friday if Silversun Pickups are on Friday. Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, Santigold and Of Monsters and Men are already on there. That's all they had last year and I would imagine Girl Talk gets a longer set than DFA and Santigold gets a longer set than Bob or the Bronx.

I asked them on Facebook but never heard back :/ I might be able to find out actually. I work with a girl who is really good friends with one of the members of Blind Pilot. Let me ask her tomorrow and I'll get back to you.

I'm really disappointed that my suggestion of Rave Riday never caught on
