It was funny because when I walked in I went to the merch table and glanced right over the CEG merch without even thinking twice about it. I guess I Dr. Garbanzoured someone from a distro was selling their CD's or something.

Good call. It was smart of you not to make any assumptions. If we've learned anything from the great signed Pixies poster fiasco form the "Rumpus Room" naming contest, it that just because a band's merchandise is involved with a show, it doesn't mean they're playing the show.

Not too sure about that lumpy. Pavement composed virtually every sidewalk at the festival last year, and they are one of the top billed acts this year. Coincidence?

Oh ho ho. Clever clever. I guess we should be expecting Pixies next year then, right? good.

And was the very strange and Broken Social Scene thanks to Kings of Leon last year Sasquatch's very subtle hint to this year's lineup as well?

I could go all day making farfetched puns out of these band names.

Same here. Basically shit my pants, Pavement and Pixies being my 2 favorite bands and all. Now I'm just cursing myself for not having the financial stability to take an impromptu trip to Spain. That being said, I love this year's Sasquatch lineup.

to continue the i've seen them before... let's do some recent reviews to keep us busy.
minus the bear: allentown, PA in february. they played like 3 new tracks from upcoming omni (and the new songs continue the lyrical trends of innuendos) they sounded really together on the new stuff. lots from planet of ice obviously. i just stared in awe watching the guitarist play with four dl4 loop pedals.
miike snow: tla in philly 3/25. it was a really stellar show. 6 guys on stage (singer playing guitar/keys, drummer, guy on guitar/bass, 3 guys on mixers and xylophones and drum pads and stuff). the lights and smoke machine was great in the small club, not sure how the visuals will be at the festival. but the music was awesome. they really build the songs live it's not just replication.
midlake: bowery ballroom ny 4/8. four guitars seemed like too many. jazz trained and clearly know their shit. drummer and bassist were awesome. when they all kicked it up a notch it sounded stellar. some of the slower stuff turned into a wash even with a sold out packed crowd for the second night in ny. they played a lot a lot of the new stuff and maybe 4 cuts from van occ.
the hold steady: middle of nowhere PA 4/9. they played 4 new tracks, debuting one (i think barely breathing) live for the first time. they sounded great live. the club was deceivingly loud - we couldn't hear anything when we left. vocals were low in the mix but sounded good. they never overplayed and kept it moving the whole time. my buddy loves them and never saw them and said it was absolutely killer. he has two live bootlegs and said they had a lot more emotion than normal so maybe this tour is clicking for them.
seeing quasi 4/23, and bss!! 5/7, possibly dr dog and tallest man if i can score some easy tickets.
edit: oh and aziz is coming to my school this wednesday.

The Talest Ma and Nurses are playing near me the week before Sasquatch but tickets are $30...not sure if they are worth that to see...

I'm seeing a show on Saturday with a "special guest" that is strongly hinted to be Cymbals Eat Guitars. I'll keep you posted.
