"My Super Sweet 16" has nothing on these folks: to celebrate its fifth birthday, Seattle's Sasquatch! Music Festival has booked the Flaming Lips, Death Cab, Beck, the Decemberists, Nine Inch Nails, the Shins, Neko Case, Sufjan, Queens of the Stone Age, and yes, even Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

All of Sasquatch!'s friends are throwing temper tantrums right now and begging Daddy to reunite My Bloody Valentine for their parties.

The event, as always, will take place over Memorial Day weekend which, this year runs from May 26-28. In addition to soaking in the tunes, you can also camp, enjoy the great outdoors, and lay that "have a nice trip-- see you next fall!" gag on your friends using one of the many canyons surrounding George, Washington's Gorge Amphitheatre.

In the past, Sasquatch! has featured Kanye West, the Pixies, Wilco, Modest Mouse, the Arcade Fire, Built to Spill, the Roots, Sleater-Kinney, and more. The 2006 schedule looks a little something like this, with more bands to be added:
