so says i
So, according to this graphic, Sasquatch is three days(!) this year. Now maybe, I'm just getting myself worked up to be let down, but if you're having a three day festival, it's gotta be friggin' good. And, considering how amazing last year's lineup was, this year should prove tremendous. So far, rumours abound that the Shins, Rogue Wave, Constantines, Neko Case, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and Sam Roberts we'll be playing the Gorge on Memorial Day long weekend.
The official announcement is tomorrow (technically today) at 5pm on Seattle's The End.
edit: The PFork has the bulk of the lineup. The headliners don't excite me that much, but the rest of the lineup is enough to drag me down to the desert.
now playing: Uncle Tupelo - I Wanna Destroy You (Soft Boys Cover)

Um, how the hell does Ben Harper fit that bill at all?
The lineup is good but falls somewhat short of expectations for a 3 day festival, especially after last years show.
