I8 ain't gonna be too happy that camping is included in the ticket...
This was the year I thought I might try the wildhorse campground...I guess we'll see about that...maybe VIP instead?

ITT, yes that was the sort of essence my humour was referencing (it is debatable that she is a minor).
However, if you don't find that sort of thing comedic, well, I guess I can see where you're coming from. Everybody has a line that gets crossed, and mine is flexible in that regard.

He did play 'Chicago'. However my comment was more of a reference to the fact that the theme of the evening was decidedly not an indie-folk concert like you may expect listening to Chicago, or Illinois as a whole.
Plus, without the strings, Chicago lacked the depth and power I was hoping for. Of couse that was well compensated by the fact that the rest of the show was spectacular.

If I could play guitar a little better, I would likely rip off this guy a lot:

Sort of.
Sufjan's Pianist DM Stith plays 4-5 accoustic songs as an opener. He was decent to listen to, but you're not missing much by coming late. Especially if it means smoking a joint instead.

EOTS --> EITS --> RATM --> COTC (the movie)
That would be an awesome lineup for the day.

^^^^ Ever notice that in movies "Knights in White Satin" is always used during slow motion scenes of utter brutality. It's like "What a Wonderful World", when that starts in a movie you know shit's about to go to hell fast or the lead character is gonna die. My Favorite shit hits the fan moment that accompagnies a song is in Casino and the downfall of old school Las Vegas (and Sharon Stone), expertly choreographed to 'House of the rising sun' by the Animals.

Okay, just got back from the Sufjan show in Vancouver, and wanted to do a little review slash heads up for when he comes to Seattle slash Portland.
It's heavy on the new material, but I have to say this - the show is theatrical, orchestral and most importantly, extremely well rehearsed. If you go in expecting this, you will be really satisfied with the show. If you're waiting to hear Chicago, or anything else off of Illinois, well, go see him in 2006.
I am not going to spoil too much, but the opener was off of an older album and was powerful. "too much" and "vesuvius" were other highlights.
Another piece of advice - you will possibly all be sitting in your seats when him and his dancers slash backing vocalists put on some neon clothing. The song they will play is 'Impossible Soul (part 4)'. Do yourself a favour and get up and dance immediately. Us vancouverites were lulled into staying sitting until a few finally got the guts to get up and dance to a perfectly good dancing song. By then it was awkwardly too late.
Enjoy the Show!

Yes, "Fans" is my favorite KoL song. Glad you agree.

Sasquatch can have as many useless, bearded songwriters and dancey-dance hippies play before 2:30pm as he likes. I can sit back at camp smoking joints and listening to music that doesn't suck while I drink beers that I didn't pay eleven dollars for. You guys enjoy your 'Twin Shadow' or whatever the fuck. They sound like a real winner. Just make sure you make it in time to see Edward Sharpe. I think you'd really like him.

Fuuuck me, 'Halcyon Digest' is nearly perfect. "He would Have Laughed" and "Coronado" are favorites so far.

I wasn't being sarcastic; I love Guster. Mostly Parachute, Goldfly and Lost & Gone... I can't get behind most of what they've done for the last ten years, but they're still really fun live. See! I told you you perpetually confuse me.

Somebody has to say it:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
They are on tour late winter/early spring, however it's unlikely they show up at Sasquatch...they do the Vancouver/Seattle/Portland triangle in February.
oh, and I second your 'Yay Guster!' hornedgramma (just with a little less sarcasm)

The Residents are the grandfathers of experimental electronic music. They are cited as a key influence on every band from Animal Collective to Ween. They are credited with making what are considered to be the first music videos: the 'One Minute Movies' from the Commercial Album era, which are on permanent display in the NY MOMA. They have a forty year career under their belt, during which time they have recorded everything from primal free jazz to an album of Hank Williams covers. They have been equally successful in punk clubs and off-broadway. Says Lou Stathis, "To those ignorant of this bunch: be aware that they are the most uncompromising aggregation of muzick makers you are likely to come across. Ever. Simply put, The Residents not only exemplify the so-called underground, they are it. Period." In other words, they are absolutely NOTHING like ICP. Sorry Dude, I am not sure where I compared Residents to ICP. Knowing next to nothing about them, why would I make such a ill-advised association? But thanks for the history lesson nonetheless. However, your crass and pompous attitude combined with your general appreciation for abstract and weird artforms makes you quite unique to this board and thus perplexing; Making you a seemingly suitable posterchild for either fringe festival. BTW, I would love to see Cake, Man Man and Sufjan (again) at Sasquatch in '11. And I will familiarize myself more with the Residents. Evidently there is no appicable comparison for them, so I will not even try. Thanks for opportunity to reach out to new music. now go throw some more excrement at Tila Tequila there Juggs. (I Kid, I Kid!!!)
