I know what you mean, Friendly.
Looks like I'll just have to be particularly buzz-happy on beer more so thank i usually am at fests. It'll keep me from getting bitter.
I'm trying my best to be optimistic. I realize at the end of the day it is about the music, but I look forward to meeting new people and hanging out at the Gorge. I'll just have to spend the next few months familiarizing myself with the under cards because some of them are unfamiliar to me. Who knows? I may end up loving them like I did with Phantogram.
Finally, this just gives me another reason to check out another fest this year. My top priority will always be Sasquatch, but depending on the line up announcement, I'm flirting with going back to Lollapalooza or trying Bonnaroo. Though, I'm kinda over everyone going on and on and on about Bonnaroo. I don't want to get sucked into that stupid love fest.

Also, it is so crazy how this less than perfect lineup could have been remedied into a wonderful and exciting weekend with the right scheduling tweeks. I don't want to keep beating this very dead mutilated rotten horse, but what a disaster. Seriously. Only 15-ish groups I'm psyched on and it looks like they might pull a FlyLo vs. Flaming Lips, a Wilco v. Deerhunter, a GBV v. White Denim AND a !!! v. Skrillex?? Unbelievable.

DID THEY REALLY CHANGE THE NAME OF THE DANCE TENT TO THE BANANA SHACK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's the Banana Hammock. That is all.

I want to see if I can put this in perspective for those who don't know.
Pavement was probably a bigger headliner (minus Foo I guess, and I mean more in terms of draw than quality, so nobody jump on my ass about that) than any of the headliners this year.
Last year, Pavement was billed LOWER than Guided By Voices at Matador's 21st birthday bash.
I don't know if I can associate with a festival that does this. I feel even subheadlining would be insulting for GBV. Adam Zacks is taking a dump right on Guided By Voices chest. I'm starting to think he was just like "hmm... I hear that Guided By Voices is popular. Let's do that. We'll just stick 'em somewhere in the afternoon or something."

But um... other than that, this lineup is starting to grow on me.

It is so weird to me why they would have Flaming Lips sub headlining for Modest Mouse. I am a big fan of both, but that is just odd.

I have a good feeling Modest Mouse might do something a little special for Sasquatch and pull out a lot of oldies. That'd be sweet.
Flaming Lips playing Soft Bulletin is pretty awesome.
Wilco will be good monday night for coma-ing and resting (lolz).
I can't comment on DCFC because they ain't really my cup o' tea.

Is Bonnaroo's lineup announced? I might be willing to try and put up with all the jam band fans if the lineup is good enough.

Not that this is the definitive answer for it, but the Last.FM listener numbers sort of puts it in perspective: Past and Present Headliners (w/ Guided by Voices thrown in for kicks): Foo Fighters - 91,204,143 plays (2,516,543 listeners) Kings of Leon - 94,139,630 plays (2,049,455 listeners) Death Cab for Cutie - 115,281,556 plays (1,957,614 listeners) R.E.M. - 50,527,693 plays (1,929,938 listeners) Massive Attack - 63,554,519 plays (1,705,033 listeners) Modest Mouse - 78,900,209 plays (1,613,083 listeners) Arcade Fire - 80,255,784 plays (1,495,556 listeners) Nine Inch Nails - 112,373,533 plays (1,454,381 listeners) Pixies - 53,708,039 plays (1,442,475 listeners) The Flaming Lips - 32,601,160 plays (1,199,119 listeners) Sonic Youth - 36,555,233 plays (1,087,063 listeners) The Decemberists - 40,931,665 plays (1,024,068 listeners) Wilco - 34,721,717 plays (816,320 listeners) Pavement - 25,325,166 plays (665,229 listeners) My Morning Jacket - 12,748,537 plays (570,734 listeners) Ween - 8,598,826 plays (326,935 listeners) Guided By Voices - 10,032,511 plays (289,032 listeners)

It also looks like Foo Fighters will go completely unopposed on Friday, with no late night act. HG will be leaving early.

But, of course--I'm still going to Sasquatch! Jumping ship already? Don't get too frazzled! Look what it say's on the schedule page. I don't believe this is even close to final yet.. "This schedule is subject to change. Come back later to view the final schedule with stages and times."

I'm pretty sure that GBV had to sign the contract, so if they were insulted, they didn't have to. They agreed to play, and play that spot no less, so I'm sure they're ok with it. Hell, Pavement didn't headline last year either, really (even if they were the big 'draw' act). on another note, www.sasquatchfestival.com and sasquatchfestival.com resolve to different sites (the 2010/2011 respectively). That's odd. I hope Against Me! isn't playing at the same time as Foo Fighters or Death From Above, that'd suck (why the hell are they bothering with two stages for 3 bands each?)

Sasquatch is and always be my first priority. I'm just open to the idea of other festivals this year in addition to Sasquatch
