[woogie846]

Don't you think that some of those acts are too big for the Outdoor?

[humanoid]

No Air yet...they were brilliant in "04, and since they were there again in '07, I don't want to see them again at Coachella for another year or 2..positively speaking of course

[boarderwoozel3]

Don't you think that some of those acts are too big for the Outdoor?

Muse? Arcade Fire? Yeah, massively too big.

[humanoid]

I think when Arcade Fire comes back they're going to be headlining a night

[patsfan5454]

Let that be Sunday with a bunch of other crap bands, and I'm all for it! I can skip a day.

[bluemamba]

I cant believe non of you A-holes are mentioning THE WHITE STRIPES!!!

What is wrong with you??

[rage patton]

I think God Speed You! Black Emperor playing the Gobi is the biggest joke here. If they were to reunite and play Coachella, there is no way the Gobi could contain that crowd.

[PassiveTheory]

Fuck the White Stripes and their awful garbage music.

Main Stage: REM (Headliner) A Tribe Called Quest performing the Low End Theory (Subheadliner), The Flaming Lips UFO Show (Headliner/Subheadliner), Gnarls Barkley (Subheadliner), The Strokes (Subheadliner)

Mojave Tent: Burial, Fleet Foxes, Lykke Li, The Mountain Goats, Deerhunter

Gobi Tent: I Am Robot and Proud, The Books, Nortec Collective, Grand Archives, Why?

[rage patton]

I think Lee definately has the most realistic list so far.

[MissingPerson]

Let that be Sunday with a bunch of other crap bands, and I'm all for it! I can skip a day.

Sigh. Amy... God, we'd be so perfect if it wasn't for your one terrible, crippling, insurmountable, irredeemable failing.

[PassiveTheory]

I think Lee definately has the most realistic list so far.

Well... I wasn't going for super (I swear I almost typed "supre", fucking Chris) realism. Otherwise I wouldn't have listed the dude who's never done a show before because he doesn't think he can (Burial).

[thewindowliquor]

Main Stage: Bowie, Daft Punk, Chemical Bros, Outkast, Flaming Lips

Outdoor: At the Drive In, Antipop Consortium, Cat Power, Boards of Canada, Dr. Octagon

Gobi: Emilie Simon, Vincent Gallo, the pAper chAse, Mice Parade, the Locust

[thewindowliquor]

Gobi-- The Melvins, Parlement Funkadelic, Mastodon, Goon Moon, One Day As A Lion


the Gobi would be fucking trashed.

[rage patton]

Bahahaha. I didn't see that. The Melvins would tear the Gobi down. Parliament Funkadelic would funk that tent right up. Mastadon and One Day As A Lion are just flat out too big for the Gobi. Goon Moon... isn't that a side project from one of the guys from Marilyn Manson's band or something?

Goon Moon... isn't that a side project from one of the guys from Marilyn Manson's band or something?

I've never heard of them, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I saw John 5 last fall and he was pretty damn good.

EDIT...and Tim Skold is always entertaining.

[rage patton]

I saw John 5 play with Rob Zombie last fall. He was awesome.

[frozen pilgrim]

I think God Speed You! Black Emperor playing the Gobi is the biggest joke here. If they were to reunite and play Coachella, there is no way the Gobi could contain that crowd.

how about parliament funkadelic playing the gobi with chromeo in the mojave

to me, that's insulting to the point of musical fucking sacrelige

[thewindowliquor]

P-Funk on the outdoor stage would be dope.

[zenidogx]

Fuck the White Stripes and their awful garbage music.


:nono

[thegateisdown]

good moon has members of Hella, I know....and hella would be fucking sweeeeet...better than goon moon, in my book.

[Memorial_07]

Fuck the White Stripes and their awful garbage music.

Gobi Tent: I Am Robot and Proud, The Books, Nortec Collective, Grand Archives, Why?

Your list seems most realistic compared to everyone else's

[thegateisdown]

goon* moon rather... as for others, ATDI will probably never...ever ever ever ever ever get back together...its too bad though, they're one of my favorites....Alec empire, Crystal Castles, Band of horses, Dr. octagon, Nick Cave, Andrew W.K., Sigur Ros, Portugal the man, all sound great!
What about Hella, Crystal Skulls?
Maybe Sage Francis? Uncle Luke! and 2 live cru!

oh, and by the way, I have to agree with the sentiment "fuck the white stripes"...sorry to break the positivity, but what an overrated band...Jack White is a good musician, and a great writer....but I was over it with the legos.

[thegateisdown]

otherwise a fun thread, it seems.

[frozen pilgrim]

kay. let's do this shit. I'm trying to be realistic, pay respect to who whouls be on what stage (I may not get the correct order on each specific stage in respect to who should be more important, but I think which stage they're on is the much more important factor. timeslots where applicable)

main stage:
bowie (headliner) MBV (sunset) blur (head/sub-headliner [open debate]), queens of the stone age (sub-headliner), chemical brothers

outdoor:
air, the hard sell (shadow and chemist), les claypool in some incarnation, bad religion, MF doom with either danger mouse or madlib

sahara:
shpongle/hallucinogen, an infected mushroom set to make up for 07's conflict, boxcutter, venetian snares, shitmat

mojave:
george clinton and parliament funkadelic (ideally three hours from tenPM to oneAM. two hours MINIMUM), holy fuck, patton oswalt (standup), roots manuva, battles

gobi:
mr. plow, zappa plays zappa, victor wooten, me first & the gimme gimmies, linton kwesi johnson & the good time reggae band

[captncrzy]

Fuck the White Stripes and their awful garbage music.

Main Stage: REM (Headliner) A Tribe Called Quest performing the Low End Theory (Subheadliner), The Flaming Lips UFO Show (Headliner/Subheadliner), Gnarls Barkley (Subheadliner), The Strokes (Subheadliner)

Gobi Tent: I Am Robot and Proud, The Books, Nortec Collective, Grand Archives, Why?

you complete me

[Pixiessp]

Passive, your lineup in the Sahara is stellar!!!

[thewindowliquor]

gobi:
mr. plow, zappa plays zappa, victor wooten, me first & the gimme gimmies, linton kwesi johnson & the good time reggae band

if the gobi is big enough for zappa plays zappa, then i will lose a sliver of respect for the coachella audience.

[frozen pilgrim]

I'm basing that on the size of the venues on the current tour. it's not frank zappa. it's just his son, who is very good, but it's still just a cover act.

[PassiveTheory]

you complete me

Careful or, uh, Rick might be out for my head.

[thewindowliquor]

it's just his son

oh. gobi it is.

[PassiveTheory]

Mojave: Noah & the Whale, Black Mountain, Dungen, Daniel Johnston
Gobi: 9th Wonder, Taj Mahal, Femi Kuti, Amadou & Miriam
Outdoor: Cat Power, TV on the Radio (sunset), Yo La Tengo, Girl Talk
Main: Primus, the Decemberists, Feist, Broken Social Scene
Sahara: Moby, Chemical Brothers, Kylie Minogue, Hercules & Love Affair

Also this is very good. Especially Daniel Johnston.

[thewindowliquor]

Daniel Johnston is a better songwriter than he is a musician. His live performance is not great. We would really be better off watching other people perform his songs, IMO. Built to Spill...

or Beck for instance...

9QIqX0L2rxc

[zenidogx]

i don't find most Johnston covers compelling. Johnston's songs lose all emotion when covered.
live, he's straightforward performing, nothing extraordinary. but i was still in awe when i saw him. to see this legend (or myth?) standing in front of you is stunning. plus his cover of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" was stellar.

[thewindowliquor]

I dunno. I wasn't really impressed. I seriously love it when other people cover his songs though. I have a Daniel Johnston tribute album, and it's dope.

[zenidogx]

fair enough

[rage patton]

I'm basing that on the size of the venues on the current tour. it's not frank zappa. it's just his son, who is very good, but it's still just a cover act.

Uhh... he has played Vancouver twice in the last 2 years. Both times he almost sold out a 2800 person venue. That is much larger venue than what a lot of the subheadlining acts at Coachella play. If Zappa Plays Zappa were to play Coachella (which they wont) it would either be afternoon on the mainstage, and evening/night on the Outdoor theatre.

[PassiveTheory]

Also, isn't Zappa Plays Zappa the biggest cover band in the world?

[DeadSkin]

This is not bad. I would very much like to see Cat Power get an outdoor Sunset.

[frozen pilgrim]

really josh? that's cool, man. I guess it's like MMJ where the venue size seems to vary drastically. zappa plays zappa was at the mod club here, and that's like... a 500 person bar/dance club in the college drinking area of little italy. it was based on that 4-6 hundred person booking that I guessed the gobi.

[sbessiso]

Fuck the White Stripes and their awful garbage music.

Fuck You Lee. Fuck. You.

[frozen pilgrim]

don't get upset, salah. he listens to coldplay.

passive, why?!

I guess trip hop and the white stripes are polar opposites in terms of bass levels and american white-ocity. I can still dig both

[sbessiso]

*sigh* I can get people not liking/hating the white stripes, but I need to represent them. It's my job to get angry when someone calls them "awful garbage"

You do realize Steve Vai plays guitar for Zappa Plays Zappa, right?

[frozen pilgrim]

hell no I didn't! damn, now I'm really kicking myself for not going.
all the ad in now magazine said was zappa plays zappa, mod club, 19+, $31.50 or something like that. well, in that case, bump off the unrealistic but oh-want-so-bad blur reunion and add zappa plays zappa in a sunset slot. and to fill the hole in the gobi, hows about... oh! oh man! dayglo abortions!

and god damn, I wasn't crazy, they are playing the mod club. the mod club is tiny. it's a bar first and foremost. thatnks for the heads up on the steve vai part. I may have to get myself a scalped ticket to this:

Prodigy playing the mainstage was a bad idea in 2002.

Putting a huge dance act before a headliner is usually a bad idea. Kraftwerk is the only real exception, but they aren't exactly a "dance" act nowadays.

I've seen videos of Underworld playing before Radiohead at APW...and it just isn't as good as it could have been.

The only way Prodigy should play the mainstage is if they're closing the stage after a headliner. But i'd still rather them be in the sahara.

I didn't know they played the main stage in '02.

But yeah thats what I meant. They should play after the headliner like what Tiesto did.
Or headline it. But that isn't too likely

Also, I love you forever for including The Avalanches there next year. They are my number 1 hope for the Sahara next year.

[clumsy342]

I was realllllly thinking Battles was going to be on the outdoor at night..
But yeah.. Gobi, 3pm. lame. That was the first show of the weekend for us. And also one of the shows we were most looking forward to.

[frozen pilgrim]

shpongle!

But yeah.. Gobi, 3pm. lame. That was the first show of the weekend for us. And also one of the shows we were most looking forward to.

No way...it was the best time slot and stage possible. It would have been harder to have the same energy in a larger setting and playing at night would have meant conflicting with the already clusterfucked pre-JJ Friday night. Bad enough I had to miss Raconteurs, Sharon Jones, Swell Season...

[betao]

Or playing before NIN. C'mon, we've been over this!

This could be cool, it has potential.

Wait, you don't know who Tears For Fears are? Wait... Mojave?!?! No fucking way, they would be on the main stage, maaaaaaybe outdoor theatre.

[rage patton]

Tears for Fears would almost definately be mainstage. Not sub headliner, but sub-sub-headiner


This could be cool, it has potential.

That was exactly what happened in 2005 man. I highly doubt it would happen again.

[idrive1life]

Tears for Fears are not so 80s and are still huge here? As in bigger than Goldfrapp? :D What a pleasant surprise. I would upgrade them into Sahara since I want them to play only in the tent. I dont want them to have a massive mostly robotic / stiff crowd Kraftwerk got this year (yeah, Girl Talk outdoor party at Lolla was super fun but no way Coachella would be able to create a super fun douche party like that. heh heh).

I dont want them to have a massive mostly robotic / stiff crowd Kraftwerk got this year (yeah, Girl Talk outdoor party at Lolla was super fun but no way Coachella would be able to create a super fun douche party like that. heh heh).

man, I was dancing at kraftwerk, just not maniacally. kind of...
fine, kind of stiffly and robotically. isn't that what happends involuntarily when exposed to high dB kraftwerk? I was in a fucking trance, man. their set was so so good.

no offense, but how does ANYBODY not know tears for fears, so they're skipping the tent? sacrelidge? spelling error? you tell me.

But yeah, they'd be a wicked fun sub-sub-headliner...maybe even mainstage sunset? just thinking about head over heals, break it down again, and everybody wants.....I didn't even bother with them on my list, because it seemed too far fetched...do they even exist anymore?

[thegateisdown]

I was the same at kraftwerk too! they tore it up! but yeah, I think I sensed a little creepy robot coming out of myself. not the fun, cardboard box on the street corner kind of robot....but the creepy, surly, german kind of robot. what a good set though.
