looking nice and clean.
I'm not going to lie--soundgarden would be logical. I don't personally want it, but that's not the issue here. Looking at the artists of headliner-caliber that are playing elsewhere, I feel like Gorillaz would fit Sasquatch. Additionally, Sasquatch and Coach shared a headliner in 2009, 2007 and generally share several artists. If they were to share one this year, I see only Gorillaz as being possible.

the first time i ever heard them was sasquatch 05 i think. was that the year with pixies, modest mouse, wilco, arcade fire, bloc party and all that....it was a stacked single-day event. I was so blown away by arcade fire too though

i get where they're coming from. the other topics get pretty flooded with repetition and stuff in the wrong place sometimes, but it's not too bad

okay this is nice and comfortable. no need to have any foundation for anything i say here. not that anyone in the other topics cares lately. I'll just reply to funnygrrl's post i guess
Personally, I think it's way too soon for the Beastie Boys to headline again. That was just 2007 when they did. As long as you don't count the Flaming Lips, who weren't really headlining in 2006 (Ben Harper switched with them and played that miserably long set), then there haven't been any repeating headliners er...ever? I don't think there have ever been repeated headliners.
I want Gorillaz. They do seem reasonable. As for those other "possible headliners..." I think that if Sasquatch booked faith no more or LCD soundsystem, that would look really weak, because they would then be using 2 non-headliners from Coachella as headliners. It just wouldn't look good. Plus they don't feel like the right caliber to me. On that note, are mmj headliner caliber? The Arcade Fire do a hell of a show. I wouldn't complain

yeah the food is just mean.
as for a cooler, my friend had this small cooler with a strap on it...it was about 1' by 8" and 8" deep. It had some beer, ice, then water bottles. i opened it for them to see the water and they let me in. I wouldn't bank on getting even something small like that in though. They probably just didn't want to be dicks sending me back to the camp area.
as for beer in a blanket, it's even better if you can put them inside the blanket--like inside the cloth somehow. then if you pull it out to show them there's nothing rolled up in it, you're set. there are a million awesome ways...

You know, I don't see anything too amazing on this poster...I think that as far as big names go, the only ones that excite me are the Dead Weather and Gorillaz, but most of the rest of these are either within the grasp of sasquatch, past or future, or are acts you could catch in the NW at some point. Maybe not Tiesto, but whatever. All I'm saying is I don't feel like Coachella has anything really exclusive or stunning...

yeah, it really pays to have a few less adventurous or super stoned friends holding a spot for your group to return to all day...

oh, please minimize the sublime. i always hear them heavily played at sasquatch. is in-venue food going to be as worthless and expensive as last year? i think that was the worst it had been in 4 years

i still think it's utterly retarded that they'd limit how many people you put in your car. way to stunt our attempts at being economical. let's fill the gorge with as many cars as possible!

doesn't the gorge/sasquatch prize itself on being economical? they were bragging about some sort of carbon emission stuff last year. all i know is that it would be wasteful and capitalistic to make everyone break groups down into fours. i mean, we can always put cars in big clusters and hang out with friends or whatever, but making us take more cars just to make money is wasteful and unethical. should i tell them?

um, wrap it up in blankets in a backpack. maybe put it inside a blanket...like tear it open. then when they ask you to pull it out of the bag, you can do a shitty job holding it up, let them see nothing's wrapped in it, and then go through. that or wrap it in the blanket, do a weak job showing it to them, act impatient...that's about the only thing i can imagine would work. unless you hide it in a sealed container of some kind of food

i think the partying in the camp area last year was the best it has been since 05. i like the anonymity of being part of an almost unnavigable sea of cars, tents, coolers and people. pounding beers before and after the shows...oh i miss sasquatch

the kinks were listed as playing sasquatch last year on the wikipedia page. it was really weird and i knew it wasn't happening, but i've had it stuck in my head and i was actually thinking they'd be a cool reunion to see. not that i'm optimistic

i could dig a reunion like blur, but neverhood has the most important point--why should we care what felix says? who is felix? i could have made a speculation just as general as his and i should hope it wouldn't get everyone all excited...i could have said "the headliners are KOL, a repeat headliner and a reunion act--and wait till you see who it is!" and everyone would be guessing great bands instead of disappointing ones?
