Man, all this time I thought "ZZ Ward" was an old-timey black blues musician. I thought it was a combo of ZZ Top and M Ward. If she really does sound like Gary Clark Jr or Adele I might have to give her a chance. I'm sure she thinks she sounds like Adele but she has more in common with someone like KT Tunstall. The only thing she has in common with Gary Clark Jr. is she really likes appropriating black culture for white people's enjoyment.

I'm not jumping to defend her or anything but judging a musician by their fashion is like judging how an apple tastes by eating a sausage.

Even though I reserve the right to judge someones music solely based on their fashion, I really don't like her music and heard it before I saw she wore a stupid fedora in every fucking picture.

I think I'm going to have to find a fedora just to see how many people refuse to talk to me because I'm wearing it.

Also, I'm not even going to lie. I'm going to be checking out Lumineers again at sasq. I love their sound but hate their fans. They were awesome at Coachella. The crowd was insane, probably the biggest I saw all weekend. What I didn't like was the plethora of Lumineers fans at Gaslight Anthem clearly not enjoying themselves (es evidenced by the fact they were sitting in groups on the ground near the pit). I wasn't quite as annoyed as others, but it was definitely causing frustrations which was affecting my enjoyment of gaslight. Dear Lumineers fans... YOU ARE THE WORST.

Too bad the guys in the Gaslight Anthem seemed just as bored to be there as the Lumineers fans.

Maybe they wouldn't have been so bored if more than 10% of the crowd was there to see them.

That's only true if you're judging something like say, the apple's dancing skills from its appearance. Of course an apple that looks gross probably won't taste good, but it might be a fantastic dancer.

3. Japandroids with DAVERS (oh, davers, I forgot to tell you, we’re doing Japandroids together again.. too much fun!) I don't know what I did to make that so memorable, but I'm down to do it again. Jumping around and singing along is all I need in a concert buddy <3

1. Lumineers 2. Alt - J (Who I will not get to see because of the Lumineers) 3. Japandroids 4. Red Fang 5. Dropkick Murphys 6. Arctic Monkeys 7. Cake 8. Death Grips 9. Mumford and Sons 10. Holy Ghost (obligatory synth pop for this year's Synthpopsquatch) 11. DANCE TENT AT MIDNIGHT WOOOOO!!! WHO IS THIS? HE'S INCREDIBLE! WHY CAN I SEE FEELINGS???
No particular order.
There are definitely some undercard acts I'm looking forward to as much or more than the 10 above, but these 10 are bands I probably won't get to see again any time soon, or just bands I really want to see at the Gorge.

That's pretty comical because the Gaslight Anthem is much more talented than the Lumineers. I hope they play "Ho Hey" (or whatever the christ it's called) last so that particular group of Sasquatch attendees stays clear away from Alt-J. Hell, I just realized that not only will there likely be lots of Lumineers fans on the floor in front of the Sasquatch stage during Cake (and not enjoying them), but that crowd is going to be down there singing out loud to the Postal Service too. This makes me want to stay up on the hill for Cake and the Postal Service. Not much pisses me off more at a festival than people that are visibly annoyed when I'm trying to enjoy one of my favorite bands, and people that drown out the actual musicians with their terrible singing voices.

Really though, I listened to a few of her songs and she's got some chops, just not my cup of tea. Honestly, I was just latching on to the whole hat thing because I have always been secretly jealous of people who can sing well or wear a fedora, two things I have never been able to do successfully.

That's seriously going to be a nightmare, scough! So many assholes will be singing along every word to every Postal Service song. At least you know we'll get a few breaks from that when they play a new song or a cover and then people will shut the fuck up.

Yeah fuck all ya'll. If I love a song I am going to dance like a maniac and scream the words at the top of my lungs.
