Goddammit!! How do I not hear about stuff like this? I'd happily drive up for something of this magnitude.

+1.

Also +1 on the fact that they can't make an announcement. Strange that a festival in its 14th year can't figure this simple stuff out.

The San Diego show has been cancelled as well. I...

Anyone who thinks there's a wrong way to do Coachella is fucking stupid.

Even flip-flop guy didn't do it "wrong." Just different.

Cheers,

Amen.

One of the four or five acts I've never seen that I need to see before I die.

Never heard of him until he played Coachella. Heard some people walking by talking about how amazing he was. Saw a YouTube video of a show he did in Edinburgh. Totally looking forward to him this...

Man, his mixtape is amazing. Really, really looking forward to this cat.

Cheers,

Prepare to be disappointed.

The Smiths will never reunite.
Beyonce? Maybe.
Daft Punk? If you weren't there, you weren't there.

And I thought it couldn't get any worse after this year.

WTF is it with "all these fans getting screwed out of tickets?" True, a lot of posers go just to go, but come on, people, if you want to...

I planned my whole weekend around them, and I stand by that. I had ridiculously high expectations and they absolutely were about a million times better than I ever thought they could be.

Respect...

Seconded! And then Ratatat and Leftfield right afterwards on the same stage? Trentemøller really knew how to build that set as well, as a guy I met just before Leftfield wisely noted. Ratatat was...

7 or 8? Fuck me you're an optimist.

I'm working my whole weekend around Leftfield. Not that there aren't some great acts there, I've just seen them all.

At Coachella.

More than once.

My main conflicts in 2010:

Delphic vs. Icelandic Volcano
Frightened Rabbit vs. Icelandic Volcano
Gary Numan vs. Icelandic Volcano

Fucking Icelandic Volcano

Honorable Mention: PIL vs....

I'm working my whole weekend around Leftfield.

Others:

Sasha
Sven Vath
Green Velvet
Shpongle <-- I'm intrigued, though not sure if it'll be a DJ set or what.

Seconded. I've never heard the crowd in that tent roar so loudly.

Please tell me that's because you knew he was going to suck big hairy balls and leave you with the worst feeling you've had after leaving Coachella. That's what he did for me after nine fucking...

No, Goldenvoice employee. :)

This lineup sucks, through and through. There are spots of greatness, but it's like a mostly-rotten avocado. You really gonna eat that? Fuck no.

I'm sure there are a lot of good acts on the...

Um, yes, they are. They are total assholes, and I can prove it.

Coachella is amazing, Goldenvoice is a bunch of fucking money grubbing assholes.

And I live in San Diego and agree that Talking...

Coldplay would sell tickets, but I'm still hoping they'll do a major headliner that's at least a *little* bit outside the box for at least one night.

We never do. We're always at the mercy of the giant cocksuckers, Goldenvoice.

Even if we get a poster, nothing's real until we're all on the polo field, together.*


*Except for fucking Sly...

Fuck it, I'm heading up now from San Diego.

See y'all out there, fingers crossed for Orbital!

Cheers,

It's going to be very interesting to see what GV does in this situation. They could quite easily do nothing, and who could blame them.

They could also book A Place To Bury Strangers, who are...

I honestly thought they had something up their sleeve to add, but I don't really care either way. No matter what, there will be at least six times when I read the schedule where I'm going to miss...

Right. I remember that stunning set by Future Sound of London a few years ago.

And Cocteau Twins totally blew me away at Coachella.

Sigh.

The point is, you're never sure until you show up...

Second.

This is starting to get at the root of it. As much as some people think that Coachella is for kiddies or the masses, it's not. It's for people who LOVE MUSIC, GODDAMNIT. I have my opinions on...

You do NOT boo My Bloody Valentine. That last song (You Made Me Realize) should be our National Motherfucking Anthem. All those pussies should be made to stand with their hands over their hearts...

Umm, have you ever been to a real rave? The Sahara tent isn't exactly an underground thing... you can hear it from space :)

Cheers,

p.s. Progressive House = good, hardcore = bad.

Hey All,

Anyone else write something up in detail? I've got a day-by-day, band-by-band review up on my site. I saw 38 bands, so odds are good I wrote about one you saw. If not, your taste in...

So funny, that picture of her naked is totally a nod to Bauhaus In The Flat Field...

She fucking rocked the Gobi tent. If you missed it, you missed *the* Coachella moment.

I've got a video of...

Best

1. Amanda Palmer
2. My Bloody Motherfucking Valentine
3. Bajofondo
4. Silversun Pickups
5. White Lies

Worst

A-fucking-men.

Why do we even need Do Lab? It looks cool, but come on. Five stages isn't enough? And the thing by the front? I think moving Do Lab by the merch out front is an excellent...

Bob Mould rocked it. Man, if it weren't for Amanda Palmer's set I think Bob's would have been the highlight of Saturday for me.

Coachella 2009 - Sunday review
Coachella 2009 - Saturday review...

If you're into electronic, you should be sucking at the teet of Sasha & Digweed. Not sure exactly how long it's been since the duo have appeared together, let alone in the US, but this is...

I thought LCD was really, really good, I'd never seen them before. I think they sound completely different live but I do like their CDs. Maybe it's 'cuz I'm a DJ.

But can anyone PLEASE tell me...

1. Cornelius - You'll never see that again, and I doubt you did see it :(
2. Arcade Fire (third and best time I've seen them)
3. !!! (blew the fucking roof off Mojave)
4. Bjork
5. Explosions...
