Coachella 2008

[bearman🐻]

So far the Breeders and VHS or Beta have confirmed. Any others floating out there?
 
 It's also looking likely that My Bloody Valentine will play. Swervedriver would be an amazing addition.
 
 Who would be a logical headliner? Foo Fighters? That would be one night. Smashing Pumpkins might be another. I actually think I can go this year again, haven't been since 2005.

Now Confirmed:
 Autolux
 Cold War Kids
 VHS or Beta
 Death Cab for Cutie
 Turbonegro
 Austin TV
 
 Very Likely (like 90%):
 The Verve
 B-52s
 Portishead
 
 (this according to a friend who is keeping track of all these with sources and practically sending out daily emails with updates).

For the record, also confirmed are:
 Death Cab for Cutie
 Cold War Kids
 Autolux
 Turbonegro
 Austin TV
 
 It's also looking like The Verve, The B-52s, Portishead and Caribou will be playing this thing (though none are rock-solid confirms yet).
 
 Foo Fighters, by the way, are out of the running to be a headliner. They're going to be in Australia over Coachella weekend. I have a feeling the headliners will come from this list: R.E.M., Beastie Boys, White Stripes, Oasis, Green Day, No Doubt (reunion), Smashing Pumpkins.

Ha, yes, I never actually put it together that the screenname matched the person in real life. But it's a small world after all.

So are you saying she's not really pretentious in real life?

This is an odd one, but I guess it kinda makes sense since Willie Nelson played last year. According to his Myspace page, Dwight Yoakam's going to be at Coachella this year.

has pitchfork announced dates/if they're doing a show in 2008?

Ah, yes.  1994 called.  It wants its bands back.
 
 I'm most disappointed by The Verve.  Was it them or William Blake who said:

I thought MBV were ruled out in a recent billboard article?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

More importantly, when is Dwight playing around here?

The word on this, apparently, is that at the time of the interview MBV was still iffy for Coachella, so their manager didn't want to say they were playing if they turned out not to be. Note that he didn't give a definitive "no," just said something about looking towards the shows they currently had scheduled. Now, from what I'm hearing, the chances are sounding fairly good of them playing Coachella. I'm sure we'll hear more on this in the coming weeks. If I had to guess, I'd say it's like 60/40 that they play.

having met miss p several times, i can assure that she is quite humble and nice - as long as you're not committing a major fashion faux-pas or starting sentences with a conjunction.
