NEKO CASE made it through a set @ Sasquatch 2007 + BEASTIE BOYS

Now *that's* the kind of setlist I'd want to see at a Beastie Boys show nowadways. Mostly instrumental, with Check Your Head-ish era stuff mixed in. Nice.

what a great set list

Most memorable quote
"We look good don't we?...That's right the beastie boys, coming to yur urea"

Anyone with sasquatch pics, I'd love an email.

I was at the main stage most of both days and never once saw Sarah Silverman...good thing, I can't stand her, but I hope that they got their money back. Even when the main stage got shut down for 3 hours on Sunday due to craaaazy freezing wind, there was another guy giving the updates. Beasties kicked ass, as usual. It was nice to have 2 performances from them, as we mostly went just to see them. I was disappointed to see songs played on both days, when they have so many to choose from, but they looked sweet!
It would have been more tolerable if I could have afforded even one beer, a can was ten freaking dollars!!! Fuck off Gorge, that is the last time I will be going there.

Oh yeah...Ghostland Observatory was freaking amazing too!

Sasquatch 2007 pics, vids and my blog on the weekend can be found here:

Despite the wind and cold and delays, it was an amazing weekend. Notables are The Helio Sequence, Viva Voce, The Black Angels and who knows how Ghostland Observatory has the power to completely take over your body with the most infectous, electro punk rock you've ever heard in your life.

I was there dude.

the BEASTIE BOYS are the best!!

Great post, thanks!

Julian Cope on Mac:

"I gots to tell y’all that when I heard the other day that the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch is writing his autobiography, I nearly shat my undies laughing so hard (good job I don’t wear any!); Ian Mac write a book? A man for whom completing a single song on his own is a struggle of Everest the Hard Way proportions is hardly going to write a book. Ian, I’m speechless at your continued arrogance in the face of no evidence whatsoever. In my opinion, you’ve been a dried-up shell of a husk of a man since just after OCEAN RAIN, so don’t embarrass us all with your ludicrous claims that you’re gonna write an autobiography. Two words… No Way. Writing a book involves discipline and hard work, two things you never nailed in the past and never will. As I heard it, you even said in the press that your book will be better than the Bible. Well, in two ways it may well be like the Bible: 1) it’ll be full of half-truths and outright lies, and 2) it’ll have been written by umpteen uncredited writers and you’ll name yourself solely as its author. There you go, dumkopf, I just handed you the map: don’t even bother buying yourself a pen, son; just do what you’ve always done throughout your career; get someone else to do most of the work then claim all the credit yourself. I even have a title already: MAC USER. And with that, I shall sweep off into the Beltane sunset. Yowzah!"
