OFFICIAL 2008 SAHARA LINEUP IS SICK/DAVE WANG MEET UP THREAD

[digitalface]

Adam was a little heavy handed on NYE in SF. Dunno, think I've lost some love there.

[digitalface]

Zabiela is a much better DJ choice than many past, but it's a couple years late. Still gonna be there for it, but just sayin'.

So solid, hope they are not early in the day

Yeah, I lost total interested on Freeland since his GU release, but I've heard good comments about his last hate ep.

Zabiela always puts a great show, I hope he plays more breaks than house, though. I'll be surely watching him if there's no big conflicts.

Sunday will probably be rave night for us. But Pendulum (and diplo and adam freeland, and busy p, and datarock, and spank rock) are on Friday night. I'm 25 years old, and unfortunately, my body and brain can only handle one night of raving at coachella.

Fuck, Saturday looks pretty awesome too.

RAVE

[send me ctrpllrs]

Except for Sasha + Digweed, none of these artists have played TOA...

Unless you want to go to see Swedish Egil...you know you wanna

Deadmau5 was there, I think that was it though.

I'm a lot more into electronic music than I was last year, so I am excited for the Sahara tent.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

We don't need a meet because everyone's going to be in the Sahara all day anyway.

Although if we have to choose a day, Sunday.

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

Junkie is consistently entertaining... Sandra, on the other hand, lacks in enthusiasm but I'm guessing she's been put on the bill because of her DVJ sets with Vello Virkhaus? After seeing Daft and Chemical Bros. live acts, I have a new appreciation for the visual element to electronic perfomances...

The Field's album was one of my favorites of last year, but sadly he's boring as hell live. He opened for !!! in LA this fall and his "show" consisted of him standing still in front of his laptop. I'm not criticizing his music, but if the live show just consists of mixing elements on a laptop, at least add some visual effects to make it interesting. If it just looks like you're checking your email, I'm not sure what the point is of being on a stage.

What the fuck? That was a great set. Who cares what he was doing on stage, the "electronic artists who just dick around on their laptop suck" argument is the dumbest shit. He's not there for you to look at. He's there to make you dance.

[nationocean]

last year it was crazy. i had all these bands on my list and then BAM! i lost all sense of time in the dance tent.. digitalism, mstrkrft, justice, felix da houscat, lcd soundsystem! what a sweaty dance filled day!

then the year before that when paul oakenfold played before madonna during sunset. AMAZING!

and the year before that..

*you get the point*

SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK

[malcolmjamalawesome]

The ONLY disappointing thing about this year is not seeing everyone lose their fucking minds and just have total emotional meltdowns during "All My Friends". Oh, and the fact that I can't go. You fucking cocksuckers.

[Daft Fro]

Lets get a circle going~

[Trick Loves The Kids]

IT'S ON

[gratytrainridesagain]

My first year was 06 and I went mainly for Tool but every year I find myself in the sahara more in more. I was in there almost all day Saturday last year and all of Sunday afternoon. Looks like I'll be there most of this year's weekend.

[quicksand]

Fatboy is gonna be so fat. I'm also hoping for a late announcement of Underworld.

[Daft Fro]

Dave Wong just got added to Sat.~

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Grizzly Adams DID have a beard.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

The Wanger and the Wonger do NOT mix.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

wong.

Please forgive me.. when I say TAO, that includes EDC, MM, Nocturnal and How Sweet..but you're right.. I was off with that statement..

I dunno... too much faggy electro shit this year..

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Oh, shit, I forgot you are a fellow Pukkelpop alum, Instinct!

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Aaaaaaaand 1,000 posts.

Can you tell me what I should check out Sun that has you excited. I must not know some of the acts because for me Fri and Sun pale in comparison to the majesty that is Saturday. I actually have a full day of uninterrupted goodness in store for me for the first time since Sat 99.

This is in no way a flame, I am sincerely curious to know where to be on Sunday. I'm already checking out the obvious ones. A-trak, kid sis, SMD, Chromeo, Justice, and Spiritualized.

See you all in the SAHARA!

BTW Does anyone know what day Yelle is performing? I hope it's not Saturday, my plate is full!

[ghettojournalist]

Modeselektor.

i can't believe i slept on this. listened to the stuff and i am now eager to see the set. can't wait to dig into the rest of the lineup.

[donkey sex]

Meet me in the last portapottie with a ton of that clear germ remover on your right palm. 10:30pm sharp.

[nbvwes]

No youre right. Everywhere but the Sahara is lacking this year.

i think things are (potentially_) looking up this year for the Mojave as well... as long as they don't fuck up the stage-booking & set times... and the next person who mention Sahara & Kraftwerk in the same sentence, i'm punching them in the face...

i'm in the next one over hotboxing... quit sniffing at my portapottie vents!!!!
