Mount Eerie is playing Vancouver and Portland in March but is skipping Seattle Does Mount Eerie even do festivals? I honestly can't see his music translating well in a festival setting. One of his new songs is apparently about playing A Crow Looked at Me songs at a festival in Arizona last year so he at least has done it before. It would be a terrible idea and I don't think Snacks or Phil are crazy enough to do it.

You won't believe this, but Steph and John were not as intent on seeing Paddington 2 as I was. We ended up seeing Three Billboards instead. Three Billboards was pretty great, but I probably would have liked it more if a.) I hadn't seen it immediately after Phantom Thread or b.) it had been Paddington 2. I’m glad to hear you liked Three Billboards, since we seem to have similar movie tastes and I was getting concerned about the backlash. Still sad about no Paddington 2 review though. Nearly everything about Three Billboards is objectively very well done but if you stop for even half a second to think about the politics of it...the backlash is well deserved.

Realistically, I see him playing the slot Vic Mensa and Vince Staples played two years ago, second to last on the Bigfoot during the break between the sub and head on the main. Full disclosure: I've never listen to a single Post Malone verse (let alone a whole song), so I could be completely talking out my ass about him. It's just a feeling. admittedly he’s more popular now than asap rocky was in 2015. Take that as you will. Guys, his first hit was over 2 years ago and went 4x platinum. His album came out over a year ago and sold 56k it's first week. It's gone on to be at least platinum. This isn't something where this is an unknown guy who suddenly got famous. Foster the People were complete unknowns when they showed up on the lineup. They had exactly one song to their name and it just got super popular in in 6 months. He's significantly more popular than any of the guys mentioned in here. He sucks but unfortunately he'll be one of the biggest names on the poster.

Gramma and Burrito spending the week before Sasquatch defending 21 Pilots is the perfect end to this weird and stupid festival lead up.

Best of Upstream: 1. Jlin tearing the roof off of Comedy Underground I already felt like a wimp for calling it a night before her set and this isn't helping.

Cosign all the positive things people said about Upstream. Had a great time wandering around yesterday. Hell, the best set I saw was a random band I was only at because I wanted a sandwich. I'm enjoying having all of these spaces in Pioneer Square active too. Seemed like it was pretty crowded yesterday so I'd be surprised if they don't do it again next year.

chancey chiggity chances Snacks had them already booked for the Paramount or WaMu and now we don't get a Seattle show? Extremely high which is frustrating

Sorority Noise - You're Not As ______ As You Think You Are This album should be on every list. It is really, really excellent. If you've enjoyed any of the emo revival of the last few years you have to check it out.

Radiohead's PNW shows are fast approaching, and I'm still looking for 1-2 tickets to their shows in either Portland or Seattle. davers, Professor Pancakes, Cbats, badchoices, Jefferin Jeffotash, or anybody else (just tagged these users because they're longtime posters who posted about these shows), do you have any leads on tickets to these shows? If I had a lead on tickets I would be buying tickets for myself. Sorry. What Pancakes said unfortunately

Interior remodel & sound system overhaul What's the problem though? I was there for Radio Dept and it seemed fine.

The Radio Dept. at Doug Fir! Seeing the Radio Dept. live is much like listening to the Radio Dept. on record, but with a modest light show, which is perfectly pleasant! This is everything I wanted to hear

None of those bands cost actual money to book and they're almost all local...

There will obviously be add ons to come, this isn't even close to a full lineup. Anyone who thinks it's likely to be LCD Soundsystem or something is fooling themselves though. The add ons will mostly be smaller local bands and a couple bands you could catch at Neumos or something. Im saying with this poor reception I wouldn't count on many artists anyway. Late additions have been good in the past like De La Soul and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. That said this year is pretty uncharacteristic from past years, and it's possible that they don't add people seeing as they have to know by now that the festival isn't going to sell well. There will be add ons. The only question is the size of the add ons. The lineup is just flat out not full yet. There are ALWAYS some add ons.

Do you still think there will be additions at all to this lineup? and if so when can they be expected? I'm not hoping for much, just maybe one or two more bands I actually want to see Since they removed the "&a more" tag it's looking far less likely, but you would hope that they add more. In 2013 they added Elvis Costello as a sub headliner, but with the abysmal reviews this lineup is getting I'm thinking they don't shell out too much because at it currently stands this festival is a loss of profit. Adding 2 or 3 lower tier artists wouldn't inspire anyone to shell out the cash for it. There will obviously be add ons to come, this isn't even close to a full lineup. Anyone who thinks it's likely to be LCD Soundsystem or something is fooling themselves though. The add ons will mostly be smaller local bands and a couple bands you could catch at Neumos or something.

I have quite literally, no exaggeration, listened to this song at least 100 times today. It's speaking to my soul. Those lyrics! Really one of my favorite bands of the last few years. Glad they're on this lineup if only so more people check them out.
