I'm pretty sure one of the organizers of Sled Island is Quartermass, an old school poster/moderator.

OH SHIT WHERE IS HE!
Not that I could even imagine being able to afford to take a band to that.

Fuck, I might have to sell a kidney or one of my kids and go to Bonnaroo. Dialysis sucks, but late night Weird Al set would help me get over it. Also, the rest of the lineup, but mostly that.

I've heard of Eric Andre and Joe Mande but I've heard nothing about them. I DO love me some Brett Gelman though. Definitely do that. I've never actually seen any standup and only heard him on podcasts and seen internet videos, but just based on those, I have to imagine he's great.

Eric Andre has a show on Adult Swim that is fucking whacked. Weird as shit, but hilarious if you're in the right frame of mind (read: on weeeed).

Bumbershoot lineup is getting released in a little over an hour. No fucking clue what to expect from them...

I've honestly lost all interest in Bumbershoot. Unless they somehow manage a stellar lineup that brings back the old days of Bumbershoot, I probably won't ever go again. I love the idea of a festival right in the middle of seattle, but they have done nothing to attract me in recent years.

I agree. It's a pretty terrible festival, but it's too close to me not to at least pay attention to the lineup each year.

I had fun in 2011 but I only went one day, was pretty nice seeing Broken Social Scene, Thee Oh Sees, Warpaint, The Kills...
Although I agree that the festival has not been the same since they moved the main stage out of memorial stadium into key arena...In addition to the fact that the lineup hasn't had a worthwhile headliner, consistent lineup since 2009...
I live close so I usually try to make at least one day to check out flatstock, and a couple acts...This year will probably be a skip unless they get at least 2-3 groups in one day that make it worth the drive...

Who knows though, with the right lineup, $120 for a 3 day pass really is a good price. It's obviously about 3 festival levels lower than sasquatch, but so is the price so I guess I shouldn't complain. 10 minutes and we'll see if it's worth attending or not!

I mean, there are some great names on there, but it's really not good at all for a festival lineup.

The Men, Fidlar, Deerhunter, Crystal Castles, MGMT, Ra Ra Riot are almost enough to get me to go...Ima sit on this for a bit, maybe wait until they announce who is playing which day....
Terrible headliners, so-so undercard, and an eh edm lineup...Just another typical bummershoot lineup...
