I do not understand billing. How does silver sun pickups have the head spot when the 5 billed under all seem bigger. I will definitely try to make it this year. Especially because I have some friends in portland now.

Silversun Pickups have put out three seriously solid albums and an EP now, they're pretty big. I'm doubting they have a bigger draw than Girl Talk or Passion Pit though.

I bet they saved a bundle by making Dinosaur Jr./Sebadoh/J. Mascis three of their top ten billed artists. Package deal.
Also: Fucking BLACK MOUNTAIN!!

Lightning motha-fucking Bolt! Somebody please see them for me. Don't worry holmes, I'll be there unless they conflict with MMJ. I would have done VIP again if MMJ wasn't playing the same weekend. That leaves 3.5 days of music instead of 4.5. VIP is nice because you are guaranteed entrance to every venue, so it's easier to bounce around from venue to venue. It will be easy to decide once the schedule is release. There are only about ten bands I really want to see, so if they are playing at the same venue, I'll just buy a ticket to that show. Really excited for: Lightning Bolt Menomena A-Track (Pea told me he actually spins) Black Mountain Girl Talk (have to miss for MMJ) Tallest Man On Earth (always a great show) Menomena Trampled By Turtles Red Fang Swans Starfucker (only if I buy a pass, I've seen them enough, but they are fun) King Khan & The Shrines (Mutha fucking fuck yeah) Fucked Up John Maus Moonface DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin Blouse The Builders and the Butchers (local favorites) The Dimes

A-Trak, homie. T-r-a-k. Other than The Chemical Brothers, I think he was my favorite EDM set at Coachella last year. Dude is un-fucking-believable. And his brother is in Chromeo. I'm required to like him.
Nice to see John Maus on your list as well. He's playing Capitol Hill Block Party and is one of the few artists I'm actually jazzed about seeing there.

Oh, and I think Xiu Xiu is opening for them. Double super awesome bonus. Jamie Stewart and Thor Harris and Michael Gira all in the same building. BOOOOOM!

Thor wasn't touring with Shearwater this year which I commented on and the Gramma sarcastically stated he was selling his squatch ticket. Regardless of that, and more importantly, Thor Harris is fucking rad!
