PLAYLIST: 2011 High Sierra Music Festival

March 09. 2011 | By Jason Jurgens

Can you smell it? It’s the smell of sweaty, hairy armpits, unwashed hair, and weed. Yep, it’s time for the 21st Annual High Sierra Music Festival! Okay, so it’s not all dirty hippies and incense but we guarantee the occasional drum circle and hacky sack session. Honestly, we’d go just to see My Morning Jacket and Neko Case under a starry mountain sky and let the altitude intoxicate us (that and secondhand smoke). Here’s some free MP3s to get your inner John Muir primed.
