Oooh Sexy girlfriend! I'm definetly a newb when it comes to music in general. I always use Sasquatch as my discovery playground. Chromeo was super fun at Outside Lands Fest this year. puff, puff...here you go buddy, now Donger need food. If you need an interim 'discovery playground', lots of interesting stuff to be found here: sasquatchfest.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=other&action=display&thread=878Forgive the self-promotion (as if I were getting anything out of it other than the satisfaction of doing it), but I'm rather proud of a couple of those and you might find something new that you really like. Not even sure how to reply. thanks for your suggestion, I've got it bookmarked and will be spending sometime on american music homework tonight. arigato!

Hi everyone! First time on the forum. You guys are all hilarious, that's why I love Sasquatch!

You use your first post to tell us we are all hilarious (we need more of this), and your third post as a buddy up to Horned Gramma. You are doing a fine job. Noob of the week nominee.

Arcade Fire have announced that they are headlining the Benicàssim festival in Spain on July 17th of '11. With this and all the Coachella rumors surrounding them it could be early indication that they are doing the festival circuit like LCD Soundsystem has done the past year. Also at Key Arena Win Butler hinted that we would be seeing more of them soon...Tell me more about this hinting? lol every band says we'll see them again soon It really depends how it's worded. Yes, it's definitely a cliche, especially for the up and comers who are hoping you will come see them again rather than saying they will be back through soon. However, I knew the Tallest Man on Earth would be at MusicfestNW this year because of his hinting during his local show in May.

Randomly found out I have a music connection - a lady I work with is cousins with one of the Fleet Foxes guys, Casey or Christian (I don't remember which she said), and saw him over Thanksgiving. He says they're playing at Sasquatch. He also says they're done recording the new album and hope it'll come out late spring/early summer. So there's that. So let me see if I got this right. Drew comes to the board as a noob, and is immediately the most disliked person for criticizing the first confirmed band. I didn't care, I like noobs, even if they don't like the Foo Fighters. Then, Drew bashes the Sasquatch board for it's lack of information while praising the Coachella board for their insider knowledge. His next post a couple minutes later, he says it looks like Wolf Parade is going to be there, and later defends his source as CoS, even though it is old news to the rest of us. Even as a moderator, I had to point out this hilarious sequence of, "you guys don't know anything, guess what I know, oh wait, you already know that?" That must hurt the ole feelers, but I'm allowed to defend this board. Two days later, Drew comes up with a story about how he knows someone who knows someone who told him something. Let me remind you he has been bashed by virtually everyone on this board, yet has praised CoS and the Coachella board. Where do you think he would post this story if it was true, and where do you think he would post it if was made up? Don't worry, I checked, he didn't post it on the Coachella board where he frequents the Sasquatch thread, nor did he post it on Cos. And you can't even say, "I told you so," when the Fleet Foxes are on the lineup, because everyone expects them to be there. In fact, I think it is more likely that the Foo Fighters have to cancel and that Wolf Parade was just joking when they said they would be at Sasquatch, than the Fleet Foxes not being on the lineup. Nice try. My DOB ≠ 12/6/10 Sorry, I thought this was so funny it just needed to be posted again.

Revolutionj, that looks like loyalfromlondon's avatar.
Its been a long time since we heard from him, bragging about his VIP tickets and proclaiming his love for the polyphonic spree.
Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for the memories. Hahaha. Yes, I remember him well. And yes, that is him. Someone else used that photo as their avatar a couple years ago, and he pointed it out.

I take it he was not well liked...

I can't say anyone was not well liked. We have all been stoked just to be talking about Sasquatch, and that was true even when there was only ten of us. It was still funny reading funnygirrls comment about him bragging about his VIP tickets though.
This board has only been infected by a couple trolls so far, one who was banned, and one who went away due to the scrutiny inflicted by other boarders. Lawn chairs are not allowed at this festival, by the way.
And while I was hesitant to sticky this thread, knowing it would go off on random tangents that have nothing to do with rumors or confirmations, I'll admit I am one of the bigger offenders in this thread. Oh well, last year the confirmation thread consisted of two trolls having a ten page conversation about how Coldplay and Skynard were confirmed because they knew someone who knew someone. This thread currently is loads of fun.

Oh wow! I've only been to two other festivals Outside Lands Fest '10 and Northwest String Summit '09 and would agree that Sasquatch was really the best cause of the music, scenery and peeps. I have to admit I like the intimacy of NWSS.

As long as it doesn't sell out before the line-up is announced, I'm good.
