... and other musings about music and influence. DAMMIT I WANT MY THREAD TITLE TO BE LONGER! I know I am in the minority but I could do without another NIN appearance at Sasquatch. I feel that by dialing it in and going with an already established headliner isn't in the spirit of Sasquatch. However I do understand the idea that the headliners sell the tickets and NIN would sell tickets. I wouldn't go to their show but I'm not opposed to their headliner spot if there's a decent act on Bigfoot (a la Mumford vs Primus this past year).

He compared them in the sense that they're both headliner sized bands, which is true. To be honest, I think the draw of Mumfons is probably way bigger than NIN.

That is not even close to what I got out of that single absurd sentence. He basically said he wouldn't care if they played if there was a better band playing at the same time, but IMO there is not a better band. He also said it very pompously like he had a clue what he was saying. If for some crazy reason a festival put Primus against NIN, it would be a very tough call if I had to choose,because both are in my top 5 favorite artists of all time. Maybe Mumford would have a bigger draw at the moment, because of the pop buzz they have now, but I doubt they have any true following, and I certainly couldn't point out a single song of theirs. It's not like I listen to the radio though.

Dude you're a crazy person. rustuuuu is right, I was simply comparing them as headliners, not similar artists. Slow your roll.
Also I hate both NIN and Mumford anyway. And you. Especially you.

Hate is such an ugly word. I don't hate anybody. I do very much dislike some people.

And you're calling me pompous? I hope I never have the misforchune to meet your sorry ass. I'm pompous for pointing out your poorly chosen words? I'm sorry that makes you so angry Nick. I very much dislike your opinion, but I will not resort to hate speech, and personal attacks.

Clearly I should never mention 2 band names in the same sentence ever again, or someone will flip their shit, talk to me like an imbecile, and call me pompous (twice). Fuck you right in the mouth, you judgmental, arrogant jackass. You started this conversation with personal attacks.

At least Accelerated Cheese made an argument, which I couldn't completely disagree with. You just made a stupid fucking comment that was pointless. Now you blow up like a fucking idiot and start name calling. I suppose I might have came off a little harsh, but If you don't want to make an intelligent argument then fuck off dude. Bash away I hope it makes you feel better about your life, and your broken bike.

Knowing that I have a life without you in it is comfort enough.

If the rumors are true and Flo and her Machine release an album early next year; she'll be headlining. And it will be awesome.

Ooh, count me in as being fully stroked for that! I would love to hear her crazy ass voice echoing around the Gorge.
I'm getting very interested in how the whole 2 weekends thing is actually going to play out. Not that I'm excited for November to roll around, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the presale process and headliner announcements are going to work. I still don't know if I'll be attending one or two and I want to know how I'm going to choose goddamnit!
