So, is anyone who happens to live in the Pacific Northwest (or even outside it) planning on attending this? It is at the Gorge, May 26-28, and has the most awesome lineup of anything ever. Except for day one, which I think I'll skip.
I would go for The Flaming Lips and The Decemberists alone, but fortunately I do not have to. So, anyway, were anyone else to go, we could totally, I don't know, share overpriced bottles of water or something, or decamp to a local drinkery, as the mood strikes us.

Ohh...I'd go for The Shins, Death Cab for Cutie and Queens of the Stone Age.

Wolfmother and Architecture in Helsinki are two Australian bands.
I like them both. Wolfmother is HUGE here atm. They have a very classic 60s/70s? rock feel.
Architecture in Helsinki I actually bought on a whim in 2003 when I was wandering down Brunswick Street in Fitzroy (Melbourne)... I was hooked by what I heard in the shop. The guy at the counter said if you threw a brick out the window you'd probably hit one of the band members on the head.
They proceeded to get a lot of airplay on independent/youth stations. Good band.
I heard Pretty Girls Dig Graves on the radio the otherday - I really liked the song I heard.
OMG and Sufjan Stevens I LOVE his latest track at the moment - supposedly he's doing one track for each state of the US over the next few years. At the moment it's Illinois. "Go the Illinois" or something is the track - it's very good.
Nine Inch Nails, Wolfmother, Architecture In Helsinki Ben Harper Constantines Gomez Sufjan Stevens The Brunettes The Flaming Lips The Shins The Tragically Hip Arctic Monkeys Beck Queens of the Stone Age We Are Scientists
I'd see the above.

Not going to the festival, but I do so love the Gorge!
With my migraines though, it's going to be a LONG time before I enjoy any live music.... as it is, I don't even turn on my car stereo anymore.... Live music in a loud concert setting is out of the question.
But if you go, so have fun! The Gorge is an amazing concert venue!

Oh, I;m sure he'll have ro combinea few states here and there- I mean, aside from the occasional T-Rex fossil, what's to sing about in Wyoming? Or any state that has a "North" "South" or "West" in front of it's proper name for that matter...

Yeah, a bit like Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories in that respect...
