From Rolling Stone:

An unexpected success came from another group of English Eighties tastemakers, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The Sunday night set from the pioneering synth-pop duo – a...

Of the 105 bands on the final list, 29 weren't on the official lineup. That's 72% accuracy.

The bands that weren't accurate guesses:

A-Trak
Alabama Shakes
Alf Apha
Claude VonStroke
Daft...

I hope the list is right about OMD. They just added a Mexico City date at a small club, and the date is right between the two Coachella weekends. I doubt they are making a trip to the Americas just...

Congratulations - almost 13,000 posts, with each one impossibly revealing your almost impressive stupidity even more than the last.

No Cat Power or La Roux ... I like the ideas I've seen proposing Garbage or Fiona Apple as adds. Nobody's as cool as Annie Clarke though.

Thanks for the info, Werner.

So I just found out that I can at best attend on Friday only. I'd like to go Friday, and then give (for free) my wristband to my brother to attend the rest of the festival.
I missed Coachella...

VCMG

Seems intuitive, doesn't it? Album out in March. Pioneers of electronic music reunited. Maybe it's impossible though.

Yeah, Gary Numan > Erasure or PSB imho.

I think that either of PSB or Erasure would be a poor substitute for OMD anyways, but the good news is an announcement for a spring OMD US tour is to be made on Monday. I can still catch them in a...

Lead singer Andy McCluskey said on the OMD messageboard (www.omd.uk.com/forum) that they are NOT playing Coachella. Bummer.

Reviews from their UK tour, which began last week, are phenomenal. They have a great light show - very Kraftwerk like - and are playing a good mix of old and new. OMD alone would likely get me to...

Another brand new song by OMD - great retro sound

I saw them in Paris in 2007 when they were performing their Architecture and Morality album in its entirety. Their stage show was incredible. Lots of visual effects and they sound better than in...

My favorite 80's band
Spin Magazine indicates that OMD are in talks to play Coachella 2011.

Synth pop pioneers OMD...

The Shins
Janelle Monae
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
James
Belle and Sebastian

Holy moly.
I haven't seen anything that cool since Klaus Nomi dominated "Urgh A Music War."

Crazzz2007, put the gun down and gently back away. There must be someone who still loves you. Find a happy place.

Check their tour: April 16th in Texas and the 18th in Tennessee. Won't be at Coachella.
That said ... I am taking my daughter and her friends to the AZ show on the 10th. They can't get enough of...

Gary Numan or OMD would be cool.

$60 - I'll 1st Class mail it for free. I have no idea whether or not that is a good deal since I haven't checked ebay, etc., but that is less than I gave ticketmaster. If nobody wants it by this...

PM me if you still need a camping pass. I can sell you mine for a few bucks less ($60) than you will pay ticketmaster if you like.

The last couple years I sent a similar message about the Mystic Oasis, and some people didn't believe me, but the following is entirely true ...
There is an artistic waterfall that somebody brings...

Crap. I somehow pissed of Psychic Friend. Actually, the more I look at it, it seems that HandBanana did. Hopefully not me. I'd like to NOT be banned.

That's exactly what I said.
And this was in the last 24 hours?
Doesn't matter. We'll know tomorrow morning.

Some people are posting that PF denied knowing of any announcement. I don't see that anywhere though.

What does Bob, the 84 year-old, have underneath his shirt?

Many of you may already know about this, but in case you don't ...

Hilarious.

Every time I have seen James, I have been completely thrashed for several following days. Unbelievable live act.

JAMES!!!

The Courteeners have a single called "That Kiss." I've tried all kinds of ways (legal) to get it, but it is not for sale by download using any of the conventional channels (itunes, napster, emusic)....

I saw them last year, not at a festival but their own show. Their CD was OK, but they were AWESOME live. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen, and I'd support them being at Coachella. For...

Crystal Castles is fronted by a female, but I forgot about them since she doesn't typically use her voice for singing - more like a sound effect. I like them though.
I typically like female...

Friday's lineup is really good, but I am surprised there aren't any female vocalists in the entire list (except for the, er, Ting Tings).
Correct me if I am wrong?

I have a 13 year old, and I sometimes wonder whether I would ever feel comfortable taking her to Coachella.
The truth of the matter is that compared to other festivals, Coachella is a relatively...

Some ladies that were highly speculated but didn't make it include:
Lily Allen
Katy Perry (like it or not)
Britney Spears (unlikely, but still highly speculated)


Other ladies I would also...

I fully agree with you. What a waste of time.

Band of Horses is the reason I will go to Coachella this year.
I've wanted to catch them for a very long time. so excited

The Killers are from Las Vegas, so it is quite a brilliant move to have them headline Coachella on Saturday. Lots of people from LV will come and watch their band from home, and they probably were...

The colors are only changed on the message board pages, and not throughout the coachella.com website. PF knows that we are the most sign-seeking bunch on the planet, so I have a feeling we are being...

Seen most of these bands live. I had the best times watching Depeche Mode, followed by The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, Beasties, Pet Shop Boys, The Police, and lastly, Violent Femmes.
BUT MY...

I would pay the full 3-day ticket price just to see Steve Martin perform his stand-up comedy as in circa 1978. Old school - yes, but its so funny.

Headliner Trios that actually could happen (i.e. no Smiths, Talking Heads, or other nearly impossible inclusions)

First Awesome Headliner Trio:

No Doubt
AC/DC (or GnR)
Michael Jackson
...

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
Recently reformed with original line-up.
Very experimental band, despite their occasional pop tunes.
Planning to tour US in Spring.
Bring them to Coachella!

I LOVE fake posters!
More, More, More!
This one is actually more believable than the last one too.

I flew to Paris in May this year and saw OMD in concert. They are actually an excellent live band, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised by their audio and visual performance. What really...

I saw Charlotte Froom and Tennessee Thomas from The Like on Friday.

According to her website, she is playing on Saturday. From the looks of her video clips from recent performances, I would guess that she sings.

Two words ... BODY GLIDE. Get it at any running store. It works great, is clear, and doesn't stink or make a mess.

Any way you could get yourself to the I-10? We are going very early Friday, but are leaving from the east valley. 51st and T-bird are pretty far out of the way.
Actually, we may not be of help to...
