Are you talking about how on the site if you did a backslash and an artists name it would redirect you do a different artist, or a loophole similar? I rdon't ally don't know what I'm talking about, but I assumed that Sasquatch had some privatized pictures perhaps in a google file and when the work to make them public prior to the event in order to make finishing digital touches Information intercepts or discovers them. Either way I can barely turn my computer on without messing it up so you can disregard my idea. Does everyone on Reddit type so much while saying so little? Or is it just you?

I'm still kicking myself for leaving while we were at Elysian, but I suddenly felt extremely too drunk to be sitting there with your family haha. Haha, that was Tanner's girlfriend's family and we were at Pyramid So fun though! I got a couple laughs out of that. My first thought, "we met Badchoices family?" My second thought, "We went to Elysian?"

I don't think we are getting Bells. Snag an extra hop slam if not too inconvenient please Will do. I'm planning on grabbing a couple sixers if I can. I'll save one for you. Although I don't think I'll be in Seattle until June. Oh sweet Jesus. Can I get in on a Hop Slam? It's only the #1 beer you've talked about to me over the years. Fun fact, one of the last two times we've hung out, we drank a Hopslam. Badchoices can attest.

It used to happen a lot before the oversaturation of music festivals. There was no indication that Beck was doing any touring when he showed up on the 2012 lineup. Or Jack White going solo. Wasn't the Sasquatch lineup announcement the first to announce, then his tour and album were announced? Or am I misremembering? Yes alex, I believe you are correct. I remembered two headliners being surprising that year, and Jack White was the other one. Smooches.

I'm curious if established/successful bands that have zero shows on the horizon have ever shown up on the lineup. There must be times this has happened but that is too much to go back and look. Or is there usually some activity with them already going down (not counting local bands). Probably hard to tell but I was hoping Grizzly Bear would be a potential and started wondering where they would be billed. But they have nothing in terms of live shows announced at all at this point. So that is just a bunch of time you wasted reading this nonsense post. It used to happen a lot before the oversaturation of music festivals. There was no indication that Beck was doing any touring when he showed up on the 2012 lineup.

Founders Brewing is now going to be distributed in Washington and there is a release/welcoming party at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham tonight. Somewhere between 10-12 Founders brews will be on tap and 4 special bottle releases. Portland is getting Founders as well, and Bells. Hopslam hits town next week.

Don't know if this introduction is mandatory, but seems like the polite thing to do. Too obvious...

Sarcasm only works if you're relevant. Relevant to you or the board? Regardless this is a place for speculation, not low effort joking confirmations or equally low effort banter. You can do better.

Empire of the Sun was actually the worst live act I've ever seen when they played at '13. And I'm a fan of their music "Played" is being too nice. I didn't see them play anything.

You should google the difference between "confirmed" and "Speculated." I was hoping the sarcasm would be pretty evident, Sarcasm only works if you're relevant.

Don't listen to Wonk though, he believes Seattle shuts down at 10PM since he doesn't leave downtown Hahahahaha! Best post on the board in ages. I love it when the board defends their beloved Seattle. Virtually every reason I visit Seattle is because of events occuring downtown. Sure everyone agrees downtown sucks, but I'm not going to get a hotel on the outskirts and add multiple cab rides each day to get where I'm going, and get back. Visiting Seattle four times per year for the last decade has tought me a couple things: 1. If you want to buy snacks, water, soda, or gatorade, it must be done before 8pm (seriously. I know it sounds weird that you can't just walk into a grocery store at 8:30 pm in any city to buy whatever you would normally buy at a grocery store, but you can't do that in Seattle). 2. If you want to watch a football game other than the Seahawks, you have to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. 3.If you want to eat dinner after 10pm, you have four options. If you want to eat dinner after midnight, until recently that wasn't possible. I like Seattle much more than I used to because I can now get a pizza delivered until 3am. 4. If you're feeling a bit frisky, and want a hair of the dog cocktail prior to noon, good luck finding a place. All four of these options I take for granted living in downtown Portland. But saying the outskits of Seattle is where it's at is like me saying, "avoid downtown Portland, you need to check out Vancouver, Beaverton, and Gresham. Oregon City is aweome too, and Hillsboro rocks."

Yeah, which is why Thom Yorke is confirmed to headline Sasquatch with Radiohead because new album, new tour, new year, and new me. You should google the difference between "confirmed" and "Speculated."

Honestly anything is a possibility but usually when there's real speculation that an artist is going to be at Sasquatch it is because: 1. Someone on the board wants to see them 2. They have toured 3. They have released an album 4. They are alive Fixed.

I can't see Nick Cave on the top of the poster. Subbing if he's lucky. What kind of shit is this? Nick cave headlined Primavera and sub-headlined Coachella. Now he'd be lucky to land similar billings at a smaller festival? He shouldn't be there either way. Nick Cave headlining Sasquatch would be like Opeth headlining Paradiso.

So I was rolling through my videos this past weekend of Mac Demarco since I'm a sizable fan and he played a short song or excerpt where I can't quite make out the lyrics but it's familiar. He does a long almost falsetto that sounds like he's saying "SweeeeeEEEEEeeeEEEEt Edna" or something to that effect. The change in capitalization is to reflect the pitch in his high note. Any chance someone at the show caught the tune at his performance and knows the name? Probably "Still Together" which sounds like a Jungle Book ripoff.

The post-squatch depression has subsided a bit and I think I've talked myself out of flying to either Chicago or Atlanta to see The Cure again. But, as a compromise with myself, I think I'm going to go on Stubhub and buy overpriced tickets to Sigur Ros at the Paramount on 9/20. If you can still afford to pay bills and eat, why wouldn't you go see the Cure in Chicago? Ten years from now, "I was so unsatisfied with the short Cure set at Sasquatch that I flew to Chicago to see them," will be a much better story than, "I was so unsatisfied with the short Cure set at Sasquatch that I almost flew to Chicago to see them."

Same for me with Yeasayer. I love the new album, and I haven't seen them live in eight years (google helped me realize it was 2008). Nice, let's meet up for that one fo sho Funny we randomly ran into each other before Yeasayer, so we did met up for that. I lost my shit when they played Sunrise. I think I told you.
