In order to stay on the road to achievement though, I feel it's important to recognize and own up to one's failures. And, therefore, I must admit that I have completely failed at my goal of featuring Sasquatch bands on Kharmonious in the weeks leading up to Sasquatch. The big event is just five days away, and I've yet to post one article about it.
While this is clearly a failure, I also have an achievement to note. I have recently landed a writing gig with Oregon Music News and have been assigned the task of covering Saturday, day one, of the festival. Needless to say, I'm pumped. Saturday is featuring two of the bands I'm most excited to see: Mumford & Sons and Vampire Weekend. The lineup also includes several Portland bands I'm excited to check out: Morning Teleportation, The Nurses (who I actually saw open for The Tallest Man on Earth last week), and Portugal. The Man.
Because I'm writing this post while in class and therefore don't have time to fully make up for my recent failures, I would like to present my top ten list of bands I'm excited to see at Sasquatch:
10. OK Go
9. MGMT
8. She & Him
4. Tegan & Sara
Check out any of those you've yet to listen to. And, after you've done that, check out my coverage of Sasquatch at Oregon Music News.

Wow! That's phenomenal! I didn't know about the writing gig Katie, congrats. Have a blast at Sasquatch for me and one of these days, I'll crawl out of my hole and actually blog, I promise.
Yeah! The writing gig thing JUST happened. And, just to clarify, it's not exactly a paying gig. But it's still cool. I'll have to tell you all about it when you're here.
