Music- Sasquatch Festival
This weekend Kat and I are off to the Sasquatch Festival which has expanded into a three day
event held at the Gorge in eastern Washington. The Gorge is a great venue but its a bit of a pain
to get to for a single day. Since the event is all weekend we are actually going to be staying
over in Leavenworth, rafting in the mornings (huge water on the rivers still!) and hitting
the shows from relatively nearby in the afternoon/evenings.
The lineup this year is a bit less interesting than I’ve seen in the past. As usual
a great way to check out many of these artists is by downloading their stuff from
EMusic.
They still have their “50 free songs” promo if you sign-up a new account and
after that its as low as 22 cents a song. Plus none of it is DRM protected so you can easily listen from any
of your computers, create a music library server, transfer it to an iPod or other device, etc.
The only catch is that they don’t have all the major-label stuff. Still, from this year’s line-up they
have Nine Inch Nails, Bauhaus, HIM, TV on the Radio, Matisyahu, The Decemberists, Gomez, The Flaming Lips,
and probably more of the other non-mainstage acts.
Overall for the Sasquatch show I’m mostly looking forward to the Sunday line-up but just keeping my
fingers crossed that
the whole thing isn’t ruined by bad weather.
