Okay, Day 1 picks here, Day 2 picks here, and this post marks the third in the series with Monday’s roundtable of Bumber-sights to Bumber-see. And before you head to the fest, don’t forget to check The SunBreak’s Bumbershoot Pro-Tips. Let’s festival.

Katelyn: At 26, I’m not getting any younger [read: better with crowds], and Bumbershoot is too marvelously multifaceted [read: crowded] for me to consider going for more than one day. Still, I like to see the sights and hear the sounds, etc., so I picked Monday to attend– my podcast hero Luke Burbank of TBTL was scheduled to do something. Then that got canceled, so I’m thanking my lucky stars that Monday has other auditory delights to offer.

I’m curious about Fly Moon Royalty (12:45 p.m., Fisher Green). My sources say they’re “most excellent,” but I haven’t been grabbed by their recorded material thus far. Worth a shot, because I trust Sportn’ Life (Fly Moon Royalty’s label) and because discovery and risk etc has been shown to keep you young forever. (Sort of.)

Grand Hallway (at 2:15 p.m., Starbucks): This band’s many members are all talented, and watching them spin notes into meditative, straight-up beautiful musical gold in person is a treat. (I’m even more enamored by Grand Hallways pianist and vocalist Shenandoah Davis, whose solo album The Company We Keep has been on repeat this summer. She’s on tour and won’t be Bumbering, but go check out her work.) If you’ve already seen the crazy fun and good YACHT (3:15 p.m., Fountain Lawn), the Veganism/Black Metal/Hip Hop panel (3:30 p.m., Leo K. Theatre) looks promising to this supporter of badassery in all forms.

Consider soon-to-be-huge Lemolo (4:30 p.m., level 3 EMP) for a pre-dinner show; I saw a video of them practicing and it sent me into profound Neutral Milk Hotel listening spiral. That’s a good thing. Alternatively, dance it off with high-energy punk hip-hop favorites Mash Hall (5 p.m., Decibel Stage). Go get some dinner before weeping your way through Sharon Van Etten‘s show (6:45 p.m., Fountain Lawn). It’s a toss-up between Phantogram (8:30 p.m., Fountain Lawn) and Truckasaurus (9 p.m., Decibel Stage) for the rest of the night, as far as I’m concerned. Truckasaurus, for what it’s worth, has never failed to move me into that heart-thumpy, sweaty, head-nodding zone where everything’s going to be okay, and is already okay, and fuck yeah, life sucks sometimes, but we have music! Beep beep boop.

Josh: I’m mainly looking forward to checking out all of the already mentioned (and praised) local bands that I’ve so far missed on their way up the northwest fame elevator. And, yeah. I will probably check out Hall and Oates (9:15 p.m., KeyArena). How can you not?

Tony: I’ll never miss a live set by Seattle’s finest pop ensemble, Curtains for You, if I can help it (1:30 p.m., EMP Level 3 Stage). I’m also looking forward to taking in buzz-laden local power duo My Goodness at long last (2 p.m., Exhibition Hall Stage). Aussie power-pop demi-gods You am I don’t swing by here every day of the year, and they put on a reputedly earth-shaking live show to boot (5 p.m., Fountain Lawn Stage). Daptone soul singer Charles Bradley‘s sandpaper-soul shout should go down great this weekend (5:45 p.m., Fisher Green Stage). And while everyone’s packing the Key Arena for Hall and Oates’ set, I’ll be hearing alien-rockabilly siren Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside tear things up (9 p.m., EMP Level 3 stage).

Shawn: I’m not going on Monday, but if I were I wouldn’t want to miss “Veganism: From Black Metal to Hip Hop and Everything in Between” (3:30 p.m., Leo K.) or Truckasarus (9 p.m., Decibel Stage at EMP Sky Church).

MvB: Whew! Day 3. I’m exhausted. Let’s keep this short. Short films from around the world: We Are What We Drink, The Abyss Boys, Sync, Monkeys! (1 p.m., SIFF Cinema). Three Dublin novelists walk into the Words & Ideas stage: Chris Binchy. Kevin Holohan, and Claire Kilroy (1:45 p.m., Leo K.). Seattle’s modern dance troupe Whim W’Him presents an early “greatest hits” compilation (2:30 p.m., Bagley Wright Theatre). The wild (and sometimes wildly erratic) SIFF Fly Films are back to delight and surprise under time constraints (4:30 p.m., SIFF Cinema). ATTN: NERDS! “The Writing of Battlestar Galactica” with producer Ronald Moore and more (7 p.m., Leo K.). Mobile Balkan brass band? Yes. Orkestar Zirkonium! (7:30 p.m., “Festival Grounds”). Fitz and the Tantrums will put the groove back into your thing (7:45 p.m., KeyArena). Maybe close it up country with Grant Lee Buffalo? (9:30 p.m., Mural Amphitheatre).

Audrey: Eugene Mirman. W’him W’him’s greatest hits. Phantogram? Motopony at the Free Yr Radio stage. YACHT. Anthony Jeselnik, because why not see a smart comic three times in three days? Hall and Oates, of course.
