Kid Koala was another pleasant surprise for me and i’ll be purchasing his new album if only just for the name (i think i heard him say it’s called your mom’s favourite DJ).

I wanna hire them for my next birthday party! I agree, Mike…the entire place could’ve burned down and I’d still have a smile on my face from the Lips’ shortened set.

I've been fortunate enough to catch The 'Lips experience live a couple of times(Coachella '04, Sasquatch '06) previously and my brother saw them with me at Sasquatch, so we weren't as disappointed as others who this may have been their first 'Lips show. But this show was the first one I've been fairly close to the front for and OMG, at one point, when the confetti, streamers, balloons, and beach balls were all above the crowd, it was HEAVENLY. That moment was all I needed to leave satisfied that night.<br /> <br /> ps. Gnarls Barkley were terrific. (Remember the text messages on the video screen?...A hilarious one was the one that said "I was promised CHARLES Barkley") :-) A shame about The Flaming Lips’ set being cut short.

And while I appreciated their energy and intensity, I couldn't get into the songs at all. But we're both older and wiser now so I'll be giving Gang Of Losers a shot.<br /> <br /> I meant to catch Eagles Of Death Metal, but I forgot that while the mainstage was a half hour behind, the second stage was not... so I missed them :( I saw The Dears maybe three times in the span of a few months back in… 2001 or so?

They could have easily replaced BSS (yawn!) as the closers to the festival. You're right, they are totally cut out for the festival thing.
