Photos by Miriam Thom

Here it is u guyz… Winnie Cooper’s Sasquatch! 2011 review! Words by Dolly Compton.

TOP TEN SHOWS:
• MSTRKRFT
• Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
• Sleigh Bells
• The Antlers
• Ratatat
• White Arrows
• Foster the People
• !!!
• Das Racist
• Matt and Kim

DAY 1 FRIDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
DFA 1979: I had to keep myself from headbanging too hard so my neck wouldn’t be too sore for the rest of the weekend.
Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl is a modern icon, and he brought out Bob Mould from Hüsker Dü who shredded like he’d risen from hell.

DAY 2 SATURDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Aloe Blacc: I need a dollar…

The Antlers: Fantastic performance in broad daylight! The sunshine made their set more powerful and surreal than they’ve been at indoors venues in the past.

Washed Out: Ernest Greene tapped into the house market with a booming four-to-the-floor that overpowered the twinkling melodies and pillow-talk vocals.
The Glitch Mob: 3 iPad nerds geeking out on some heavy synth and drum machine apps and putting on a better show than Bassnectar (due2power)


Matt and Kim: They sampled every hip hop great and Kim did a handstand while shaking her booty like you would not believe.


Sleigh Bells: Alexis Krauss is the hottest bitch on the planet! Combining everything you could want: bangin’ beats and metal.

Robyn: Sasquatch! 2011 had so many amazing female performers. Robyn ate a banana on stage and, as one of my friends put it, was dancing “like she was from another planet.”

DAY 3 SUNDAY HIGHLIGHTS:

Beach House: Another female babe, Victoria Legrand commanded the hearts of every girl and the loins of every boy in the audience. It was sunny and beautiful during their set and I wept during “Take Care.”

Cold War Kids: My friends were passed out drunk in front of City and Colour so I went to the mainstage where Cold War Kids were surprisingly great!
Flogging Molly: Everyone caught a second wind for this set and jumped around dancing to Irish punk.


Das Racist: They pulled off the best audience interaction all weekend, making people choose between laughing and dancing. A white girl in a red bikini flashed them and Dap told her to “Eat something.”

Gold Panda: Money set in the Banana Shack dance tent. Expected nothing less.


Flying Lotus: A huge crowd came for Flying Lotus and you could tell he was just as stoked as they were.


MSTRKRFT: #FrenchHouse! I felt like I couldn’t dance hard enough for how good this show was.


Ratatat: Amazing visuals. They had a giant 3-D parrot that was hanging out on the side of the stage. The audience all looked like they were having out of body experiences.

DAY 4 MONDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Black Mountain: Vancouver’s own! Dark, dance-able rock. So so good.
White Arrows: All these guys are babes. The crowd quadrupled during their set.
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings: Soul good on the mainstage. Sharon wore a royal blue flapper dress and had everyone on their feet getting down to soul jams like this or this.

Foster the People: Every Sasquatch bro’s summer anthem
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ[/youtube]

!!! (“Chk Chk Chk”): Lead singer Nic Offer was gyrating like Prince, strutting into the crowd to ham and steal the audience’s clothing. Glad I saw it!
Skrillex: Dub-step sweetheart Skrillex opened the door from a room of brostep euphoria LFOs into some hallways of dnb roots, dancehall, and not enough French house.


Major Lazer: Diplo and Switch ended Sasquatch! 2011 with a rager in the dance tent, narrowly avoiding a bum-rush after inviting ten girls onstage, and telling the audience that they were going to “F*ck everybody.”

THE ONE TO WATCH:
DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid: Portland bollyhood DJs who played an unprecedented all four days! Catch them in Portland before they get too big!

NAUGHTY LIST:
Yeasayer: Somewhere along the line these guys decided they wanted to be a boring indie rock band. They played mostly their new album with a neutered version of “O.N.E.” and you could tell they were bored. At least change your name if you’re going to be a completely different band.
Best Coast: Expectedly sarcastic, unexpectedly boring.

Pop Montreal Day 1


Hello from Montreal, here’s a recap of yesterday

Matt and Kim was sold out! Someone wasn’t fast enough on their media rsvping.  Went down the street to check out The Montreal Nintendo Orchestra an experimental act that makes music with two Nintendo DS units and a wack of pedals. It was interesting but def no Matt and Kim.  Made me feel like I had drank some of the magic koolaid, which I’m sure is the intention.

Montreal Nintendo orchestra video.

We then hit up Jay Reatard who I didn’t know much about.  I was very impressed, just the right mix of metal, punk and pop.  The venue, La Sala Rosa was pretty awesome, It didn’t look like a venue from the outside and there’s a Mexican restaurant that we had some pops at below it on the second floor. The kids were going nuts.

Jay Reatard – See Saw


We then headed back to Matt and Kim and managed to walk in and catch the last half of their set! I had a hard time keeping my lens from fogging up, people were losing it and Matt & Kim were cute in their own genuine Matt and Kim way.

Ended up at a reggae night and managed to clear the dance floor.  then went for pooh-teen. Awesome!

We interviewed the D’Urbervilles today a very very wicked Toronto band.  I managed not to throw up or sweat too much as the hangover was in effect.

Fever Ray, tonight.

Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)

PS, how rad are these guys and this Joy Division inspired video. Very stoked to see them tomorrow!

2008 Top 20 Tracks… according to Flores

storm

Well, the year is almost officially over and it couldn’t come soon enough… it’s time for my TOP TWENTY SONGS OF 2008!

You know I’ve never been the kind of person who could say with full conviction which movie is my favourite of all time or what the best restaurant is. See, I find it will almost always be dependent on how you feel at that particular point in time.

Of course, music is the same way. Even the most mundane routine in your day to day life can be perfectly captured by some song. And that song at that exact moment is the best song there could be… (Garden State would not have been as good a movie without that amazing soundtrack)

So anyways, it goes without saying then that I had some difficulty selecting my TOP TWENTY.

There are definitely songs on my list that have been fully rinsed in 2008. But hey what can I say? I ain’t no snob… I’m a fan of pop music just as much as I am a fan of the indie and sub-pop jams.

I won’t bore you with a commentary on each track.

Here are twenty 2008 tracks that have stood out to me… haters, get your hate on:

20. Metronomy – A Thing For Me (Mad Decent’s B-Live Miami Mix)

19. Matt & Kim – Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare

18. Santogold – Say Aha (Tepr Remix)

17. The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful

16. Ratatat – Mirando (YACHT Remix)

15. Portishead – Machine Gun

14. Friend – Secret

13. Mike Jones ft Lil Wayne – I Done Did It

12. Feist – I Feel It All (Escort Remix)

11. Radiohead – Reckoner (Diplo Remix)

10. Kid Cudi – Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)

9. Lykke Li – Little Bit (CSS Remix)

8. Lil Wayne – A Milli (Say-Wut Remix)

7. Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning (Cut Copy Remix)

6. Treasure Fingers – Cross The Dancefloor (Chromeo Remix)

5. Kings Of Leon – Sex On Fire

4. Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating

3. Friendly Fires ft Au Revoir Simone – Paris (Aeroplane Remix)

2. Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream

1. Cut Copy – Lights & Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix)

Goodbye to the year that was… brighter days ahead?
