You're Canadian. You're not obligated to watch the Super Bowl. Why would you even? I know, it's just fun to drink beer with friends and yell at the TV. I wouldn't bother if I was by myself.

For the record a guy I know can do it without surgery or tons of yoga. My ex saw him demonstrate it as well, so it is possible. And to get this thread back on track, I have to drive 10 hours north tomorrow to do about an hour of work. I'll end up either missing the superbowl completely or watching it in some little town by myself. If anything goes wrong and I'm not back by Monday for the lineup release drunkfest I'm going to be pissed.

I heard that but I always figured it was a rumor that he probably started himself. I can't imagine anyone actually doing that just so they can suck their own dick.

Because Nick Cave is old and needs gaps in his schedule.
He has lots of gaps that big, I wouldn't read too much into it.

Holy shit, that is the worst festival lineup I've seen all day. Just wait until you see the Squamish Festival lineup.

Ugh, up until now they had other people doing the booking (Brand.LIVE I think). Live Nation must have just thrown a bunch of money at some big names and said "Now this is how you make a festival!"
The just interviewed the booking agent on the radio and he sounded like the biggest dumbass, but I might be biased here.

It's going to be so fucking funny watching all the people waiting for Outkast during the Knife. At the very least even if they suck I'll get to see all the shocked faces of the crowd.

Eminem blows live btw. Plays almost no old stuff and has a really brutal backing track. Well that blows. I'm still probably going to this as a friend is flying in from England for 10 days around Squamish. I'm really struggling to pick out enough to even got moderately excited about.

I'd almost consider a hotel or staying with some people I sort of know. Or offsite campgrounds.
The first year when they didn't have camping I slept on a friend of a friend's couch and it was only a 30 minute drunken stumble to the venue. Hardly more than the walk at Sasquatch.

No chance Eminem does a Vancouver show.
This is insanely expensive. $250+fees pre-sale passes. $350+fees/4 = ~$100 for camping.
You're looking at probably $400 (~$360 American) just to go to this thing. That's slightly more than Sasquatch and slightly less than Coachella.
The door is open for Pemberton now. Both fests cost about the same, so if they can put together a more coherent lineup it might not flop too hard.

The crossover from Squatch to Squam was basically nothing last year. I wouldn't count on it.
What a joke of a lineup. A couple of gems in the undercard and Eminem is pretty cool since he never comes up here, but I really thought they were going to do better than this.
Tickets will probably sell well though, which is maybe the most frustrating thing ever.

After listening to The Knife's catalog today and last night, I have come to the conclusion that I would be totally fine with hearing their music being playing really loud through the PA at the Gorge. I pay to hear djs play, who am I to judge. So, now that I put that in text and thought about it, shouldn't it technically be called The Knife dj set? From what I hear they don't 'DJ' at all. They literally press play (hell they probably don't even press the button, some sound guy probably does), and do things not related to music at all.
