New Discoveries:
Ozomatli: fuckin fun music to dance to!!!
The Morning Benders: too good for the wookie stage. they should be famous.
Cancer Rising: probably the most fun I had the whole weekend. awesome live show, you need to go see them. they are also really nice people who posed for a photo with me!
Michael Franti and Spearhead: Chill reggae sprinkled with hiphop and political messages, this band made me happy.
Battles: i gained much appreciation for this band, especially for the song Atlas.
Ghostland Observatory: the people next to our tent were playing them the morning before the show and i really liked it. the show looked really fun from where i was over by the main stage hill (waiting for the lips). super hyper mathy synth pop with a vocalist that sounds like cedric bixler-zavala and/or the blood brothers.

me with cancer rising
Lived up to expectations:
M.I.A.: i love this woman. i would still rather see her indoors, in a dance hall, in london.
Death Cab For Cutie: the sound was crystal clear and exactly like the cd. they played some of my all time favorite songs (see setlist below)
Built to Spill: they are always good eveytime.
Rodrigo y Gabriela: even better live than on the cd! their music sounds like it is made by way more than two amplified acoustic guitars…i think people who didn't know what to expect were blown away, and so was i.
The Mars Volta: people have been dissin on these guys…and while i think that they have gone downhill since De-loused in the Comatorium, you have to appreciate the sheer creative energy that these guys radiate. the sound and performance was much better at sasquatch than the time i saw them open for the red hot chili peppers. they didn't play anything from deloused :( but Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus was sweet to hear.
