If Wacken didn't sell out a year in advance I would gladly consider. It's the same thing with Glastonbury. They're both commitments I never know if I can do financially a year out.
Sasquatch I still say is the best US festival. Not mega high capacity attendance, they aren't pulling double weekends, and the venue is amazing. Usually my first choice for a US festival that isnt SXSW.

I just came to bear news, whether someone enjoys it is their right. I doubt I'll even go this year, but I figure I will be a ruiner of secrets.

Sooo I would add Mumford and Sons, I work at the university in Montana and there was a venue hold for them here around Sasquatch.
Also Bob's Burgers live for the same reason.

I'm betting he'll do Monday. The other 3 headliners are currently bigger than him and wouldn't make sense to have any of them on Monday. Although quiet time with Bon Iver to end the weekend wouldn't be so bad. Too quiet. I'd like the flow to go 2 crazy dance party nights in a row, Bon Iver cool down in order to re-energize and see Beck on Monday. More than likely won't happen though. Usually big headliners go first, then the smaller ones. Monday always has least attendance and they know lots of people would be pissed for missing Beck, Jack White, or Bon Iver. Unless they play late after sets and the Shins take the 4th day.

Middle card looks better than heads to me. Joy Formidable, Ted Leo, Zola Jesus, Charles Bradley, Hey Marseilles, Imelda May, Gambino, Explosions, Walkmen, and Little Dragon. Beck and Bon Iver are exciting; but this doesn't seem like the best year to me.

DON'T WE HAVE TRUSTED BOARDERS THERE THAT SHOULD BE ON THIS SHIT?! I'm thinking cause he has a press pass someone at the student run radio station would have access more than someone just hanging at the party? He's clearly serious "sleigh bells, sieapony, shabazz palaces, crazy town, mark mcguire (the baseball player), st vincent" Fuck yeah crazy town

no foo fighters remembrance? sad way to start the weekend. although you were doing it right. I remember getting trampled during DFA, and I remember singing to Foo as I wondered away from the mainstage. But there are a bunch of pics with me and switch and "faux geno" (switch's little bro) that I dont remember at all. My brother, myself, and some dude we met during the Bronx lol'd at the DFA "pit". That thing was just as I pictured it would be.

Fuck Everlast and fuck Sublime with Rome. Don't wanna see an old irrelevant white guy and Diet Sublime, thanks Yes. Your lead singer dead? Start a new band. I'm looking at you too Alice in Chains. New Order did it, smart guys. INXS fucked that one up though.

Why? The idea is already a joke. I don't think Adam Zacks is that big of a dick to do that to anyone.

If it's worth anything Everlast is touring with Sublime with Rome. It's in March, and I think they're doing Seattle too, so I would bet that won't happen. Also Everlast taught us what it's like.
And it sucked.

I'd like Silversun Pickups to come back, possibly later in the day. Maybe the spot Deerhunter had, Silversun is really awesome with lights. Their last performance was sweet though, especially when the guitar went out right before the screaming part in "Lazy Eye"; good timing for a fuck up.

Every single one of you (sans HG) fucking loved Mumford & Sons until it became cool to hate them so just shut up all of you. EDIT: And if you say you always hated them then you're fucking lying so don't try it. Agreed I liked them until they became very popular, It the indie hipster in all of us, but I did catch them at Coachella while waiting for The two AC's, and It seemed like a headlining gig, they had the crowd engaged and they put on quite a show. They should of probably subbed be for arcade fire and Animal Collective would have been better suited in one of the tents( no reflection on the AC), I just though the visuals would have been suited for a smaller stage. I still like Mumford, they're talented guys and at least are making catchy songs that aren't produced on synthesizers and macbooks.

Ugh, everytime I think about that Flaming Lips set I just get mad. It could have been amazing. When they were actually playing the songs it was great, Race for the Prize especially. But they had to ruin it by talking so god damn much. You saw the Flaming Lips and didn't expect Wayne to talk that much? Someone really isn't familiar with them lately. Wayne loves the sound of his voice. It's like going to an unfunny NOFX concert. At least when Fat Mike talks he's just verbally abusing idiots in the crowd and making stupid jokes. Wayne Coyne just won't shut up, ever. I'm glad I didn't see them last year, Gayngs was totally worth it.
