(see previous lineups for proof) nobody expects to have bands with jimi hendrix guitar players, especially me, but dont kid yourself.<br /><br />you can tell me that Vampire Weekend is the greatest band until youre blue in the face, but musically, they are not that interesting. its really a flavor of the month (or year) festival that caters to those that drive a new volkswagen, not an old one. a smorgashboard of disposable bands with flashes of brillaince (WEEN).<br /><br />can someone really justify some talent this year from the indies?ScrappyDoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-42144666075994296862010-02-25T20:13:59.591-08:002010-02-25T20:13:59.591-08:00I agree with Snave's lemon analogy.

Mr. Pollock, I was excited for the possibility to see Soundgarden, as they were a heavy rumor, plus there was very little talk about Ween and Massive Attack as possible headliners. Outside of Arcade Fire, I can't think of a band I would rather see headline this year, and that includes Soundgarden. <br /><br />But we can still be bros. You'll have to work on your chest bumps though. I recommend the local YMCA, because they have padded walls to help perfect your technique.know ID yuhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445571648289123992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-21481476326168906432010-02-25T17:35:22.169-08:002010-02-25T17:35:22.169-08:00Although I'm not a major Ween fan, I'm wit...Although I'm not a major Ween fan, I'm with Horned Gramma's comments here. This is my fourth Sasquatch in a row, and I hope to keep going every year.<br /><br />I'm never disappointed about who the headliners are or aren't. I don't go to see the headliners anyway. I go for the chance to get right up in front at the Wookie and Yeti stages for some of the "less-popular" bands that I am nonetheless familiar with, as well as for those who are more well-known. For example, The Wrens and M83 were practically worth the price of admission for me last year! Sun Kil Moon and Bon Iver were great too, and so was School of Seven Bells.<br /><br />Big-name acts are generally big-names for obvious reasons, i.e. they got where they are by being good and by being massively popular. But most bands aren't at that level... and this doesn't necessarily mean most of the "other bands" have to suck! <br /><br />If some people think they won't have as much fun at Sasquatch because they don't know anything about the "lesser" bands on the roster, that's fine, they can go have fun somewhere else... Or they can check out some music by these "unknown" artists, and maybe decide these other acts are worth going to the Gorge to check out! <br /><br />No flip-flop there, the blogger isn't trying to make lemonade out of lemons, because this year's roster is not made up of lemons. Most people who pay attention to music will see this. The blogger knows that of which he/she speaks. 8-)<br /><br />See you all in May!!Snavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763424943041003098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-5420440179717129382010-02-25T15:31:40.773-08:002010-02-25T15:31:40.773-08:00Ween is going on at the same time as Boys Noize so...Ween is going on at the same time as Boys Noize so it's kind of a non-issue.

A few short post ago you were as giddy as a school girl to see Soundgarden take the stage - but now that the headliners are noticeably less popular you insult the people that are disappointed? <br /><br />To be perfectly honest I would much prefer your own predicted lineup to the one that's actually coming.

MMJ, Massive Attack/Pavement, yes. Ween just sticks out to me as smaller than the rest. Makes me wonder still if either another band will be added for monday and/or the promoters originally intended for Massive Attack or Pavement to play Monday, and schedule conflicts made them shift one back to Sunday.<br /><br />Here's why I think that (from Pollstar):<br /><br />Avg. Gross/night:<br />My Morning Jacket: US$116,238 <br />Massive Attack: US$262,086 (likely inflated since most reported dates are in Europe)<br />Ween: US$65,442adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298364190392012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-2264695079712289562010-02-24T08:22:45.488-08:002010-02-24T08:22:45.488-08:00apparently ticket sales are going quicker this yea...apparently ticket sales are going quicker this year, although that may be because they started selling them very earlyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975413803787189333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745625178751452987.post-67913523463985064262010-02-24T08:17:54.969-08:002010-02-24T08:17:54.969-08:00Perfectly said, Sasquatch!
