Hate to say it, but Elvis Costello WAS indeed pretty fucking lame... Eh. I wouldn't say it was lame. Just wasn't as good as the other big sets of the weekend.

If you were close enough to hear the music, their show was actually pretty fun in my opinion. They had some really good basslines and some pretty funky songs, I enjoyed them quite a bit. Screw the haters. If you judge them based on their whimsical stage show like so many people I heard, then you're doing it wrong! The problem was that you could hardly hear ANYTHING from the back. I wasn't that far from the stage, and it was still super quiet.

How do we buy the Sasquatch artist posters?

Soo how was the glowpocalypse this year? Didn't really happen. I saw only like 2 glowsticks. Also, Empire of the Sun was super quiet due to the Bigfoot's sound being terrible all weekend.

What did all of you think of the Sooo Wet sign? It was everywhere.

I honestly think that Primus set was the best set I've ever seen at Sasquatch. It's a shame part of their set conflicted with Mumford. Everyone needed to experience how amazing it was.

Riding the turtle during Holy Ghost I was holding that turtle up for most of the set. You're welcome.

I left the Vampire Weekend set about half way through because the sound was so terrible.
And I LOVE Vampire Weekend. That sound was just a deal breaker for me. What was with the sound at the Bigfoot this weekend?

It was the best when I was right about Justin Long being at Sasquatch. Wasn't just the wizard juice. Justin Long was there? I was hearing from a bunch of people that the Workaholics were there too. I didn't see any of them.

Remember when we all hung out with Mullet Man after Postal Service?! Like, less than 24 hours ago?!? Shit, today is not nearly as fun as yesterday. Mullet Man? As in THE Mullet Man? As in the security guy who rocks that mullet hard at the main stage every year? I'm jealous.

I started to make a list, but I just couldn't. There were too many awesome sets this weekend.
Primus 3D was probably my favorite. Blew my already high expectations out of the water.
The Macklemore & Ryan Lewis set surprised me by how great it was. That dude has been working at it for years to make it to that stage, and you could tell that he was putting in 110% for the performance.
Gotta be honest, I think I preferred seeing Sigur Ros at Edgefield over the Gorge. Don't get me wrong, it was phenomenal, but I think the setting at Edgefield fits their sound a lot better. It probably didn't help that two college kids wouldn't stop talking loudly throughout the ENTIRE show.
Mumford was also a lot better than I thought it would be.
I was right up at the barricade for The Postal Service. I don't even have words for how amazing it was.
Death Grips was insane.
CHVRCHES was beautiful. That girl has the voice of a goddess. Went to their signing afterwards just to tell them how good the set was.
Holy Ghost! was really fun. Although most of the inflatables popped by the end of it.
So many other good ones that I could go on about, but those are the ones I probably enjoyed the most.

Are you thanking him for 9/11, or AIDS?

The Primus poster is the one I'm looking forward to most. Sometimes if posters aren't displayed on sasquatchfestival.com you can google for them and I've found a few that way over the years, but it turns up nothing in this case. Primus has a unique poster for every show, and they usually post it on the day of show.

I can't wait to see what the Primus poster will look like.

Man, I want to see BMSR really badly, but I am just too busy to make it tonight. I'm not jealous that it's at the Hawthorne though, I don't really like that place. Nobody does. Although they have improved their sound recently so it's not as bad as it used to be.

8 exclusive new blockbuster IP's, and 15 total exclusives in the first year is a pretty big deal. Calling it now. Most of them will be Kinect games.

Really disappointing. Like I predicted, the console is going to be focusing on entertainment features over actual games.
Unless they announce a new Banjo-Kazooie game at E3, I'll be going with the PS4 next generation.

Murder by Death added to the lineup.
Wow, crazy amounts of good bands so far.
