After that, I plan on getting my BA in business management to later move up in my company and make lots of money so i can continue to fill the void in my heart with unnecessary purchases but actually be able to afford it all Hey man I'm with ya... we certainly didn't start the fire of late capitalism but that doesn't mean we can't be there to burn down with it surrounded by thousands of dollars worth of vinyl, Fiji Water, and consumer electronics.

I’m now entering what is technically my junior year (long story with dropouts, transfer credits, and major changes) in audio production and I’m a week away from midterms so good call with this thread. I’m recording my second band next week and was also unanimously voted by my classmates as the project lead in my Sound Design II class where we have to provide ALL sound for a 30-minute animated feature. It’s a swell combination of overwhelming responsibility that has led to me making better friends with my instructors than my peers, which is both a blessing and a curse, because both expect me to have my shit together and be confident in my next move which I decidedly am not. On top of all this, I stupidly agreed to play a show at LoFi in March despite having zero experience playing music live. It’s been one month since the new year and it feels like 6. And if my multitrack recording session goes well this quarter, next quarter I have to record a band direct to 2-track tape. HOWEVER. Last quarter literally killed me and I somehow ended up with straight As for the first time in my life. So there may be hope yet. TL;DR yea I’m a student, pls let me die Damn! That sounds like a pretty wicked program that is (hopefully) worth all the stress it puts you through. Here's an idea for your live show: smoke machine. The rest will fall into place. Oh also all my classes are 4 hours long and I have school 3 days a week, and I work 3 other days a week, and my one day off is usually committed to homework. #primeofmylife #latetwenties Yeeeeup I know that feeling. I'm currently working Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and spending all of my time in between on school. It's a motherfucker of a lifestyle isn't it?

Are you in school? What are you studying? Have you learned anything interesting lately? What do you want to be, maaaan?
I figure there's got to be a few students on the board. If there's one thing that students love it's complaining about how that midterm or whatever is literally going to ruin their life, so why not do it here?
After a little time off, I recently started my master of arts in an interdisciplinary program, and I'm focusing primarily on literary studies and writing. Still no clue what precisely I want to do with it after I'm done, but I've had a taste of a traditional 9-to-5 and I can safely say "no thanks" to that.

Pollstar lists both St. Vincent and a band called "The Garden" as playing Sasquatch this year. Not sure where Pollstar pulls its info from, but I remember that it correctly listed Atmosphere as playing Julysquatch, the Shangri-La of music festivals, before the lineup was announced. www.pollstar.com/festival-instance-detail/sasquatch-music-festival-107269I checked the tour dates for this the Garden band (which I assume only plays covers of songs from the Garden State soundtrack?) and it looks like they're actually skipping Seattle on their spring tour and totally open for Sasquatch. Might be worth adding to the rumour pile?

One of the wide nets I've cast out dragged something in. The lineup page on the Sasquatch website (though currently inaccessible) was changed at 13:11 pacific time and now includes the text "ON SALE SAT. 2/10".
I'll let you guys know if anything else squeaks through. There's bound to be some activity in the coming days, hopefully more insightful than this.

Also, still no luck trying to "break in" (figuratively) to the lineup this year. Call me paranoid, but I think these festivals have caught on to some of the less refined methods one can employ in search of those sweet, sweet leaks.

Don’t quote me on this but I’ve heard Arctic Monkeys are making an announcement Monday. That could be what Primavera is waiting on. Yeah this is going in my sig.

Can't wait for Elton John / The Killers / Modest Mouse. Christ.
At least Macklemore is effectively ruled out.

At this point I would gladly take Tame Impala over some of the shit that might make its way to the Gorge.

Their work before Psalm 69 is worth checking out too. The Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste are classics. Edit: Honestly those 2 albums hold more weight than post Psalm 69 stuff I'm the opposite. I was going to say start at Filth Pig and work your way back, but that's because I honestly haven't heard anything after Filth Pig. I'm mainly going because I have never seen them before and I'm sure Al Jourgensen is a fucking maniac on stage, plus Chelsea Wolfe is opening and I haven't seen her since Sasquatch. I think I'm going to go to their show too! Chelsea Wolfe is indeed a sick choice for opener.

I got tickets for the David Byrne show in Calgary, so if I can't make Sasquatch happen that will at least ease the pain significantly.

Alvvays are doing a short western Canada tour in March with a couple midwest dates thrown in... ends in Victoria and Vancouver with no Seattle or Portland date.

Sled Island looks like they're gearing up for another great year. 2018's guest curator and lineup are still TBA, but they've announced that Owen Pallett will be playing a show with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra during the festival. Still upset about the (seemingly) permanent decision to abandon Olympic Plaza as an outdoor venue, but maybe they'll surprise us and bring it back. Regardless, 2017 was still a fun fest without it.
