The Official 2008 Sasquatch Lineup has been announced!!
More than likely a good 15 bands will be added, and I would say 2-3 bands may cancel… hopefully M.I.A doesn’t bail out this year…

This year has a pretty intense lineup, featuring many bands in which have played the Sasquatch festival in the past.
Headlining bands:
The Cure, R.E.M, Death Cab, The Flaming Lips UFO show

[This show has been refered to one of the best shows you will see in your lifetime, and The Flaming Lips are voted number 16 on The Rolling Stones’ 100 bands you must see before you die].

Along with the headliners we have a few other mainstage bands:
Modest Mouse, M.I.A, Flight of the Concords, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Michael Franti & Spearhead & The Breeders.

Flight of the Concords

For a complete list of the confirmed bands SO FAR, look below:

R.E.M. / The Cure / The Flaming Lips U.F.O. Show / Death Cab For Cutie / Modest Mouse / M.I.A. / Flight Of The Conchords / Rodrigo Y Gabriela / Michael Franti & Spearhead / The Breeders / Built To Spill / The Hives / Tegan & Sara / The Presidents / Ghostland Observatory / Ozomatli / The New Pornographers / Blue Scholars / The National / The Kooks / Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks / Cold War Kids / Beirut / Rogue Wave / Okkervil River / Fleet Foxes / Kinski / Mates of State / Sera Cahoone / Crudo (featuring Mike Patton & Dan The Automator) / Battles / Destroyer / Dyme Def / The Blakes / Pela / Jamie Lidell / The Cops / Dengue Fever / Siberian / Say Hi / White Rabbits / David Bazan / The Little Ones / “Awesome” / Dead Confederate / The Heavenly States / 65daysofstatic / Grand Archives / Vince Mira with the Roy Kay Trio / Joshua Morrison / Throw Me The Statue / J.

Wait a second though… No CAT POWER!? No Helio Sequence… No Minus the Bear!?

Cat Power

I am hoping a few more are announced before March 8th, when tickets go on sale.

Last year a few bands were added last minute, such as Patrick Wolf, The Long Winters… That was also the day after M.I.A cancelled… so they had to do something.

Now I also hear Mars Volta is a band they are trying to get, to pair up with The Flaming Lips on the main stage… I suppose we are just going to have to find out, eh?
Here is a free song by M.I.A
M.I.A- Boyz Remix
I hope you enjoyed this, and stay tuned for more Sasquatch Updates!

We are just hours away from the official announcement of the 2008 Sasquatch Festival Lineup

The Cure

What bands could possibly be playing this years 3 day festival!?
Here is MSbands.com’s official guess:

Headliners:
The Cure/Gang Of Four/M.I.A
R.E.M/Modest Mouse
Death Cab/ Portishead
I found these by looking around on MySpace.com, for tour dates, comparing them with those of other festivals, and also by simply looking at what Sasquatch has brought us in the past.

Wookie Stage:
65DaysofStatic, Cat Power, Polyphonic Spree, Explosions in The Sky, Lightspeed Champion, Band of Horses, I’m From Barcelona, The National… Possibly could we have a shot at The Kooks for the Wookie Stage?

Yeti Stage:
Smoosh, Minus The Bear, Fleet Foxes, Heavenly States, Dyme Def, Helio Sequence, Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground, The Cave Singers, The Blakes, David Bazan, Common Market…
For the first time Sasquatch is going to feature a comedy tent. There haven’t been many guesses as to the comedians, but here is my shot at a possible lineup!
Comedy Tent:
Flight of the Concords, Kyle Cease, Carrot Top, Mike Wally Walter, Daniel Zindler, Patty Oswalt…

I will post the official lineup soon!!

Here are the Detail’s of Bush’s Economic Stimulus and Tax Rebate Plan:

President Bush and House legislators have agreed on the basic policy objectives for boosting the US economy in the hopes of warding off a recession.
Bush hopes that the plan will provide an “effective, robust, and temporary set of incentives that will boost our economy and encourage job creation.”



The plan contains provisions to eliminate the 10% tax bracket, the lowest tax bracket, to zero percent for one year only, and will provide a tax incentive for businesses to invest in fixed assets such as machinery and equipment. The ten percent tax bracket will be reduced to zero percent for the year 2008.

Individuals would receive an early tax rebate check. The minimum rebate check would be $300 and range up to a maximum of $1,800. The rebate is a refund of the taxes from eliminating the 10% tax bracket. The dollar amounts are determined by an individual’s earned income and family size. Unmarried individuals would receive a rebate of up to $600, and married couples a rebate of up to $1,200. Plus, there will be a $300 rebate per child, up to a max of two children.

So… What should we all buy!? Assuming the average that everyone gets is roughly $600.00, and you are really frowned upon if you don’t spend it, then what should you buy!!?
I have a few suggestions:

So now we have our fancy mp3 players, right? Well, assuming you do now, let’s go through some great things to buy that can go with them…

Well actually, I am going to have to wait until next week to tell you… SUBSCRIBE now, so you don’t miss when the new post comes out!
Feel free to comment and let me know what you are going to do with your free money from Bush!!
