Today is the last day. Bands I’m looking forward to:

• She & Him
• The New Pornographers
• Band of Horses
• Quasi
• Passion Pit

I’ll be posting updates and photos throughout the day. Time to get the music started.

Tegan and Sara just wrapped up their set on the main stage. It was great to see them really enjoy playing live without some of the cynicism that is evident in some more accomplished band. They were very appreciative of the Sasquatch crowd and even mentioned that their mother accompanied them. They each sang throughout all the songs even when it wasn’t their turn to be on the mic. You don’t see that very often. Next up is LCD Soundsystem with a set which I imagine is going to be full of energy and dancing. I won’t be posting from the festival again until tomorow although tonight I may post photos and video that I shot earlier in the day.

Martina Topley Bird performing on the Yeti Stage. She had some trouble getting her loop pedal synced. She finally did and create the backbone of this song with her voice including a beatbox.

It looks like the sun has permanently tucked itself behind clouds. At least it isn’t scorching hot or raining. And of course the wifi made available to the media is spotty, at best. Don’t fret, Verizon to the rescue. I’m connected currently our Verizon USB wireless card. Still very slow to upload videos so I may wait to upload video later tonight. Just saw They Might Be Giants which has been the highlight for me. They incorporated their traveling puppet show, The Avatars of They. Google that when you get a chance.
