Why MBV is not playing Coachella...

Cry myself to sleep.

This is funny because people were tripping out over Radiohead, who are also just one band and have never made a record as amazing as Loveless.

I am a long time MBV fan. Loveless is a doubtless 10 and I really like Isn't Anything, maybe give it an 8. But with Radiohead, we now have six albums that are, barely arguably, at least 9s, three of which are probably 10s. That's not even mentioning their solid debut, ep's and huge volume of quality b-sides. There's just way more "amazing" to trip out over with Radiohead than MBV.

MBV stated they wouldn't be ready in time.
I can't stress how stupid that is.

[Mr.Nipples]

wow...an actual group shot of the first lineup...

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Has anyone else suggested that they might not be playing because they blow?

I have, see ...

[Boourns]

What the fuck? Oh yeah, you're going to see The Mars Volta, so your opinion doesn't count.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Ha. Burn accepted. I knew that upcoming shows sig was poison.

[Boourns]

That burn is poison
Never trust a big butt and smile
That burn is poison poison

Another article about the matter:
http://www.reuters.com/article/music...62053220080223

With that in mind, the reunited My Bloody Valentine turned down an offer to play its first show in 10-plus years at this year's festival, telling Tollett the band needed more time to hone its live show.

Another quote:

"They've been asking us for quite a few years," Portishead's Adrian Utley said of Coachella. "It seems like a good place to play, being out in the desert, and it was started by what seems to be some pretty cool people."

seems like the article is saying that the acts that were picked are gonna be in top form, and the shitty thing is having to miss a few because of conflicts in the schedule.

[Boourns]

I know I'm going to miss some acts on Saturday...there's so many. Most of the acts I want to see on Sunday will probably be in the second half of the day, so I'm a little worried about that. Not worried about Friday.

MBV > Portishead (Although I like Portishead).
