you know, its true--this is the year that needs to be incredible. i loved last year, but i can't imagine it was a particular financial success. APW bombed last year, and that's why they got radiohead this time, isn't it?

I personally like The Police, but what about Elvis Costello Quartermass, would that sweeten the pot? consequenceofsound.com/

Hell yes it would... ELVIS FUCKING COSTELLO is phenomenal live, and is a personal favourite of mine.
Dare to dream kids, dare to dream.

I'd bet a lot of money considering that article you linked to says this: "No festivals or stadiums will be part of the route." No festivals = No Sasquatch

I'm just all about throwing as much shit to the wall in hopes that something sticks.

I saw Elvis Costello at Bonnaroo a couple of years ago and he kept talking politics. And you know, I guess I agreed with him on some of his points, but mostly everyone just wanted him to shut the hell up. Therefore, I can't say that I'd like to see him live again.

Hate to say I told ya so, but I kinda did last page with my assumption of the Minnesota - Saskatoon time frame being too close for Sasquatch.

Elvis Costello would be amazing! The Presets would be awesome too. As would Ladytron/Datarock. you know, its true--this is the year that needs to be incredible. i loved last year, but i can't imagine it was a particular financial success. APW bombed last year, and that's why they got radiohead this time, isn't it? Ummm... APW is new festival. It is being put on by Goldenvoice, the organizers of Coachella. So no, APW did not bomb last year.

okay, well i misunderstood something i heard then. no big deal--so they want to start it with a big gun-headliner. makes sense.
elvis costello would be awesome, and i can see him fitting in pretty well, but it looks like pollstar has listed as booked every sasquatch! day

Local fellas the Lonely H may be there...
May 14 2008 Port Angeles, Washington @ Peninsula College May 26 2008 Port Angeles, Washington @ Juan de Fuca Festival May 28 2008 Billings, Montana @ Garage Pub May 31 2008 Red Lodge, Montana @ Snow Creek Saloon
They could sneak in a Sept. 24th or 25th show in between Port Townsend shows
- The Black Keys don't have a show booked after May 17th - My Morning Jacket is off between Coachella and Bonnaroo - Two Gallants are doing a couple of shows in Europe with the National and should be back in the US in time for the festival - Ben Folds has all of May open as of right now - The back-end of May is free for the Decemberists - I wouldn't count on the Foo Fighters as they go from Austrailia to Europe in May... it'd be a strange layover to drop by the Gorge on the way
I'm holding out for the Tragically Hip myself
