Jeez, nobody has dusted off the spot for the yearly Coachella rumors yet.
Time to: complain about the line-up being bad; that Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, Lollapalooza, etc. are waayyy better; hit up the 'Hey Seth' thread to beg for the few decent artists to hit DC.
It's a sign spring is coming!

'The Al Jolson Skin Cancer Experiment' makes up for the less than stellar typographic treatment on this one...

WEAK. I hope Seth brings Empire of the Sun here though. That's my only big request. ;D

Biggest Surprise: THE LONDON SUEDE.........Seth?
Empire of the Sun suck balls

Exactly what I thought!
Would also be nice if Seth could bring Trentemøller to the club.

DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 ARE BACK !!!!!!!!!! Anyone else who saw them at that Black Cat gig way back knows why all caps was needed.
Omar Rodriguez, cool cool. One Day as A Lion finally getting out there and playing. That's swell.

What will the Blogosphere do with themselves at this festival, I don't see any Witch House artists on the bill...

They probably didn't have the right fonts to list them.

what about chill wave
-
I thought for sure Pulp would be on that bill. I guess Suede fills that spot.

Dude, that is so early January.

So is coachella a noun that means Corporate Ad Agency approved "indie" music?
-
BUUUUURRRRN.
But yeah, that line-up is ZZZZZZZZZ.

the line up looks about right.
-
Well I booked my flight yesterday. I love the lineup.
Looking forward to Duran Duran, The Chems, Leftfield (!!!!!!!!!), Sasha, Shpongle (word is its actually live), Sven Vath, Caifanes, DFA 1979, Big Audio Dynamite, Trentmoller, High Contrast, HEALTH, Lightning Bolt, Tame Impala. And more to discover.
Hopefully the bland headliners/big names cut down the attendance a bit.
-
To me it just looks like a lineup to sell as many tickets as possible. Nothing really speaks to me in a way that makes me want to invest all of the time, money and energy. Are they still doing 3-day-only passes? If they are, hope everyone will have a great time, but there's no way that you'd get me on a plane. I'm safely sitting this one out. Hopefully PJ Harvey will tour and come to the East Coast, same thing with the London Suede.
-
Totally agree with bearman. Of course, it could be because I am old and boring now, but that lineup is really dull.
-
I think it's a fairly boring line-up this year too. I could definitely piece together fun days each day, but am not making the trip this year.

It's so sad you refer to them as "The London Suede."

Brian, let me guess, you get tickled by writing "neighbourhood" don't you
-
i like using colour, as in colour me badd. yeah. you know you loved them.
-
Sorry Brian, didn't want to confuse you with the lesbian Suede who sings at the Birchmere all the time. Figured you were a fan.
-
I am probably going due to commitments to friends and family, but I agree with others that the linup alone would not inspire me to incur the time/expense like it did last year.
Yay for Death from Above 1979! Also excited about miss Polly Jean, Shpongle, Chemical Brothers and a bunch of other things.

yeah, i'd be excited excited about a lot of the same bands. not quite enough to get me on a plane, but if i'm anywhere near CA for work around then...
according to leftfield's website, "the Leftfield tour will be announcing a couple of dates in the US very soon". coachella is one, hopefully we'll get an (or several) east coast dates.
live shpongle... mmmmmm.

Personally I think the line-up is great. Not a huge fan of the main acts on Saturday but the smaller ones are great even though I've seen most of them at least once already. Crystal Castles, Cut Copy, Warpaint, Tame Impala, Nosaj Thing, Ariel Pink, !!!, Klaxons, The Drums, Glasser and a few other bands I haven't listened to much but would love to check out.
AC always puts on a good show and I missed Arcade Fire at Merriweather, would like to see Mumford & Sons, BSS, PvD, Gogol Bordello (12/30 show was killer), Shpongle, Elbow, Foals, The Radio Dept, and Freelance Whales
Sunday: the Strokes (haven't seen them before), Ratatat, Nas, Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, Best Coast, Delorean and Menomena.
I mean most of the bands worth seeing have been in DC and I've seen, but half the fun of a festival is checking out new bands, seeing those you've missed when they came through or seeing your favorite bands again. I think it would be worth going if I wasn't planning on going to Sasquatch a month later.

For those interested, JFK from DFA1979 posted on the MSTRKRFT message boards that Coachella wouldn't be a one off show. Or at least.... enough to let us believe it's not.
A poster:
but if its not a one off thing i'd hope that a certain someone would be decent enough to give us the heads up.
Response:
heads up.

Just found out Shpongle isn't live :(
is simon ever going to bring this over to the states?
-
Just found out Shpongle isn't live :(
Oh, yeah! Go all the way to the desert to watch tv! Why even bother? I don't care how many fancy lights, swirling confetti and glitter bursts, and pumping cloud machines of ecstasy are utilized to enhance the audio/video feed, if they aren't live on stage, it's all smoke and mirrors and nothing but a DJ set of sorts. Save it for a side party.
Jaded? Probably. I just don't get excited over such fakery anymore.
Hoping Elbow find their way to the East Coast... and I don't mean NYC. Think we've proved it over the years that Elbow always has a home here in the DC area.

eh, not surprising. 'chella doesn't claim to focus on new, undiscovered talent. i think the repetition says more about the state of the music industry than about the festival - there are no emerging bands that can headline a major festival. people won't go to/pay for a festival just to hear The Momma's Toasters and the recently reunited BlackWolfDeadKnifeFires.

^ Probably the most accurate poster we'll see all year. Even more so than the eventual real poster.
