Mastodon for Sasquatch 2014. Might not be as far fetched as it sounds. Just saw that Snacks replied to a tweet (possibly yours) about this exact topic. He did notice and replied "No going back now." I really like the way that sounds for future lineups. That is bad ass! I wonder if he was at those sets. By the way, regarding your comments on Akron/Family...that set was heavy as fuck. I loved that show and it was definitely in my top 5 of the weekend. I am trying to narrow it down to a top 5 but that is proving difficult. I don't know if I could name a top 5. Akron/Family, Killer Mike, Sigur Rós, and Primus would all be locks, but there would be about 10 different acts that could be #5.

1. Sigur Ros - I’ll be posting a full re-cap of my existential experience in the review thread later because holy shit something happened to me during that set, just like I knew it would.
2. Akron/Family- Burrito and I were getting animalistic up against those grates, LOUDEST set of the weekend, the band was having a blast, just so motherfucking good!!!
3. Primus 3D- mind blowing talent, 3d was way cooler than I expected, and I’m proud to say I survived the mosh pit in the 3rd row of a Primus show!
4. Dirty Projectors- It rained the entire show and the band played that much harder in appreciation of everyone sticking around. I love how aggressively the drummer plays against those airy-female vocals.
5. The Postal Service- HOLY SHIT THE NATURAL ANTHEM!
6. John Talabot- spooky dance party for life.
7. Grimes- would have been MUCH higher on my list if they had actually pooped it like she told them to. They turned it up a little bit mid-show but the sound never got “fixed” until Monday when MC Ride threatened to kill the sound guy.
8. Death Grips- I was so bummed out when I didn’t see any drums being set up but then MC Ride fixed the Bigfoot Stage and the crowd went fucking wild!!!
9. Cake
10. Built to Spill

MC Ride threatened to kill the sound guy. When he dropped the mic and they walked off stage, I was seriously worried that they weren't coming back. But, I loved their attitude for their set, no banter, no "Hi , how are ya?", no "Thanks for coming", just banged out song after song then grabbed their shit and left. Absolutely perfect (except for he whole no drums thing). Also, I couldn't believe how deserted the Yeti stage was when Akron/Family started. They certainly attracted attention after they started, but I did not expect it to be that easy to just walk up to the rail before thir set.

Haha, I know I got there right when the previous set ended to scope out a front row spot but it didn't end up being necessary. If you saw a girl in a rainbow cape going wild with a dude in a purple wizard cape front-row-center, then you saw Burrito and I. At the end of the show I just stood there jaw-dropped, wide-eyed and said to the band " Holy shit dudes, my brain exploded, well-done." They laughed and said thank you, it was so cool to see how happy they were to be there doing their thing with all of us.

Followed closely by front row at that fucking Akron/Family show, followed then even closelyer by Sigur Ros, who completely defied the concept of rows.

I think for a brief moment, Sigur Ros defied the existence of existence and created our own parallel dimension where all dimensions became meaningless and we were joined together in a massive spiritual oneness of Icelandic mojo.

Usually I'm all about the lists but this year Sigur Ros was better than everything else combined.
I had multiple people come up and ask me for molly during their set even though I was completely sober. HIGH ON LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS.
Truly incredible performance.

Only one person asked me for drugs during Sigur Ros, and I couldn't hear him and also my hands weren't working and neither were my legs or my lungs or my sphincter. I saw some incredible shit this year, but something must have been up with that moon because I only had a passing interest in Sigur Ros and they blew Primus -- one of my favorite bands since I was fourteen years old -- straight out of the water.

Pretty sure your hands weren't working because I was gripping them tighter and tighter as the waves of sound and emotion and lights and heartbeats and time and colour and auras and everything in the world were washing over me. Sorry about that!
