Super-easy. But then... I don't think they hire music writers for their smarts.

MIA, Breeders, New Pornographers/Destroyer, National, Cold War Kids, Battles, Blakes, Pela, Cops, Cave Singers.

REM and/or the Cure would be okay, but I'm sure the setlist would disappoint in either case. Battles and the Breeders are probably the most interesting. Mates of State and White Rabbits would be worth catching, but I'd rather see Tapes n' Tapes added.

I think Bobcat is just sad that McRad and his shitty clay wheels aren't relevant anymore.. :(

I'll probably go whatever day Modest Mouse is playing. If I'm lucky, New Porno, Breeders, Mates of States, Cold War Kids, Battles and Okkervil River will be playing the same day.

Hooray!

You do one Curious George album and the same album three or four times and lose your credibility, what gives?

I thought Gang of Four were confirmed, did they fall off the schedule?

But at $55, plus gas, plus driving time? Bumbershoot will have the same thrills for all three days, will cost 1/3 as much, and is within walking distance.

I suppose if one can pick up some cheap tix on craigslist, it'd be okay...

Somehow I missed Jamie "So hot I set your Bumbershoot speakers on fire" Lidell in that ALL-CAPS clusterfuck. I am now doubly stoked.

Isn't there some kind of discount for buying more than one day? I seem to remember that in the past, maybe I'm mistaken. I was hoping to go two days but $110 for tickets alone (without tax!) is a bit steep. I'd like to see the schedule's also.
Not much to complain about, great line-up. I just hope I can find some way to save some money.

No. bring your still suits.
