Best Summer Music Festival...Ever?
This year's Sasquatch 2006 in Washington state sounds amazing. It's a three day festival that starts on May 26th. The line-up includes:
-- The Flaming Lips
-- The Shins
-- Beck
-- Ben Harper
-- Bauhaus
-- NIN
-- Death Cab for Cutie
-- Sufjan Stevens (ahem)
-- Rogue Wave
-- Iron & Wine
-- Gomez
-- Queens of the Stone Age
-- Pretty Girls Make Graves
-- Constantines
-- Architecture in Helsinki
-- Arctic Monkeys
-- The Decembrists
-- Matisyahu
-- Nada Surf
-- Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah
-- We Are Scientists
...and several other bands. How awesome is that?!? If I wasn't going to be in Ireland that week, I'd say it was time we all headed to the Pacific Northwest.

I don't know that my brain could handle the sheer pleasure of hearing Bauhaus, Death Cab, Iron & Wine, AND Matisyahu.
And is that Nada Surf? Wow. That takes me back...
"The boy will respect you for your frankness, / And honestly, he'll apeciate the kind of straight-foward manner / In which you told him your decision / Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends..."
Yeah. Nada Surf's been making some pretty good (mellowed out) music these days.
Wow, Lauren! I really like your photography. Those Christmas cards are great, and the swingset and the clover... Love it!
Thanks, Yvonne!
Rogue Wave ='s awesome.
Were they good live, Lexia?
Yes. I went to that concert alone, but it was wonderful. Their worth seeing live -- alone. :o)
They are, that is.
Architecture in Helsinki is very much like architecture in Russia. It used to sub for Moscow/Leningrad in films made during the Cold War.
Huh. Interesting.
Please tell me I'm not the only person baffled by that comment? Is one of those bands from Helsinki?
No, Architecture in Helsinki is a band. I don't know where they're from.
And G was being sarcastic. (Although 'sarcastic' really isn't the right word. Somebody help me out, here.)
Oh it's a joke. *chuckles nervously* I get jokes. ;P
I think my eyes/brain blurred "Architecture in Helsinki" together with "Arctic Monkeys." I say that because it's happened to me every other time I've looked at this list. I see "Constantines" which reminds me of everybody's favourite Roman/Byzantine Imperators, and then my eyes are instantly drawn to the word "Monkeys" (being, I hold, one of the most sublime words in the English language).
