Ugh after watching SBTRKT at cella the Tenacious D conflict is sooo much worse. I wasn't really liking their studio albums but after checking out their live videos I may go check them out instead...or maybe Spiritualized. Also is anyone else spending almost the entire day at the main stage on Monday? There's some good stuff on other stages Monday, but they're completely overpowered by the acts on the Sasquatch stage. Monday is the only day where I'm not even thinking about straying away from the hill or the Sasquatch pit.

What the fucks, I come back from the best camping trip of my life and the fucking schedules up?!?! It's not even early May. Life just keeps dishing me the sweetest of treats. Upon first, second, and third glance, my schedule looks like this:
Friday: STRFKR (thanks, Souly)->EitS->Pretty Lights
I would be bummed about the Beats Antique conflict, but I'm seeing them at Coachella. Obviously uber stoked for a full hour of Explosions into a full-on fucking glowpocalypse. May literally have to run, and that is a true rarity for me.
Saturday: Todd Barry->Kurt Vile->Com Truise->Unknown Mortal Orchestra (thanks, FD)->Purity Ring->Tune-yards->St. Vincent->Jack White->The Roots
Holy shit, that's a lot of different styles of music (and laughter) in one day. Skipping The Shins will be a tough blow but we all know St. Vincent will deliver the goods.
Sunday: The War On Drugs->Beat Connection->Tycho->Wild Flag->Zola Jesus->Beirut->Little Dragon->Bon Iver->Feed Me
As HG said, I too am very excited to see Beirut in that chunky sub-head slot at sunset. Gorgeous.
Monday: Conflicts were mere inconveniences until Monday. Firstly, a big fat serious fuck you for scheduling Cass McCombs vs. Cloud Cult vs. CYHSY. Cass takes the cake for me, but I really wanted to see Cloud Cult, and I dig CYHSY live quite a bit. But seriously, no cake during Cass please. That would be weird in addition to shitty.
Cass McCombs->The Joy Formidable->Awesome Tapes From Africa->Feist->John Reilly->(this is where things get super-duper-fucked) first half of Spiritualized->all of Tenacious D->most of Mogwai->last 2/3 of Beck.
Those Monday night overlaps are going to be brutal, but I'm fairly confident in my plan. I wish I could see the beginning of Beck's set, especially if he does the acoustic/electric split; as I've been deeply submersed in Sea Change as of late. Mogwai is just too much of a powerhouse to miss, though. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, GUYZ.
I'm supposed to be getting ready for Coachella but all I can think about is Sasquatch. Saaaaasssssqqqqquuuuaaaattttccccchhhh!!!

I was torn on Bon Iver/James Murphy but the reviews coming in from Coachella and the fact that my group of friends will be at Bon Iver are pushing me that way...

Based on recorded music, I wouldn't have ever thought twice about seeing Bon Iver, but I was pretty impressed by what I saw on the Coachella stream. Looked like an awesome live show.

The thing that really pulls me toward James Murphy over Bon Iver is that I like to watch the performers, not be lulled into a deep sleep.

My plan is to start at James Murphy and dance until I cant anymore at which point I will hit up Bonny Bear.

Hmmmm interesting. I haven't understood the draw of Bon Iver because of the low energy, but maybe I will enjoy him at sasq afterall.

My plan: Skip Murphy entirely and take in all of Bon Iver's set.
The reality: Whatever substances that I'll have in me at the time will end up deciding who I see.

What the hell is with the St Vincent/Shins conflicts?
When I saw this conflict at Coachella, I thought, "well I'm definitely going to Sasquatch too"
And then I come here to find the EXACT SAME CONFLICT!
Cruel, cruel world

There's a pretty good chance I'd just see St Vincent at both

Saaaaasssssqqqqquuuuaaaattttccccchhhh!!! Not sure if this helps your cause, but Cass McCombs has a show in Portland (@mississippi Studios) Wed the 30th. You could always take the long route to the Gorge.

Is it just me, or when you look through the schedule to pick what you want to see you find bands you forgot were even on the lineup...keeps happening to me.

Cruel, cruel world It's a pretty bad one, probably the worst of the weekend for me. I haven't seen either of them live, but I'm way more into St. Vincent right now and watching her Coachella performance online made it a lock that I'd see her. The Shins are a great band though, I'd see them over at least three quarters of the lineup.

First real look at the schedule:
Friday worked out as well as could have been expected. Tempting to run from Girl Talk to EITS for 20 minutes and back in time for Pretty Lights, but likely I won't end up doing it.
I Break Horses, Beardyman and Grouplove (maybe Sheepdogs if I am really ambitious) make me all want to go in early. The only time I might be tempted to use re-entry is after Kurt Vile and before UMO, but that doesn't even leave an hour so it's hardly worth it. Shins->St Vincent -> Wolfgang Gartner -> Jack White -> Roots seems awesome, even though it will be partial sets of the first 3 in that list.
Conflicts:
Purity Ring/Metric. I've seen Metric like a zillion times but seeing them at the Gorge seems like it would be special.
Little Dragon / James Murphy. Why can't they just move James down half an hour so he finishes right before Feed Me comes on? Hell move the whole tent down half an hour so Tycho isn't beside M. Ward.
8:30 Monday is so much deciding. And at the point when I will probably be at minimal energy for the weekend.
Mogwai/ Beck/ The D: Same as Friday, probably won't make the main-bigfoot-main run, which is unfourtunate.
Overall, not too bad though.
