Hirsute pursuits: Organizing a Sasquatch! schedule

Anyone going to Sasquatch! probably knows that the schedule is now available for the Memorial Day weekend festival. But now that you can see what's playing when, you have to deal with what conflicts with what:

"Should I see Band of Horses or Camera Obscura?"; or "What?!? Patton Oswalt's doing stand-up at the same time as the OK Go performance?"


Obviously, you've got some tough choices ahead of you. Seeing as OK Go is one of the main events for me this Sasquatch!, I had no choice but to pass up the Oswalt show. However, I'm still undecided about whether to catch the Quasi set or Bobcat Goldthwait on Monday. Quasi's great music, but Goldthwait was in three "Police Academy" movies. Some people would call this a no-brainer, but I <3 "Police Academy."

In any event, I've compiled a list of songs from several Sasquatch! music performers that I'm planning on seeing to give other Squatchers an idea of what they may not want to miss.

Dawes, "That Western Skyline"
Laura Marling, "Devil's Spoke"
Minus the Bear, "Secret Country"
OK Go, "Maybe, This Time"
The National, "Lucky You"
Vampire Weekend, "Giving Up the Gun"
Nada Surf, "Firecracker"
My Morning Jacket, "Evelyn is Not Real"
Langhorne Slim, "In the Midnight"
Midlake, "Core of Nature"
Jets Overhead, "Seems So Far"
Tegan and Sara, "Knife Going In"
LCD Soundsystem, "Tribulations"
Pavement, "Cut Your Hair"
Massive Attack, "Daydreaming"
The Heavy, "Sixteen"
Mayer Hawthorne & the County, "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out"
The Temper Trap, "Sweet Disposition"
Quasi, "Now What"
Passion Pit, "Sleepyhead"
She & Him, "Home"
Band of Horses, "The Great Salt Lake"
MGMT, "Weekend Wars"
