Coachella 2011: Rumors, Headliners, rumored Confirmations

[choice cat]

Low (realistic) expectations

Headliners:
Arcade Fire
Coldplay
Neil Young

That would be pretty "meh" for me at least.

[sbessiso]

Arcade Fire is NOT playing under Neil Young, you fool.

*shrugs*



Either way I dont care. Both those acts do nothing for me

[softbulletin]

I've never listened to Neil Young before because I'm an asshole, who wants to recommend me some albums?

Besides the albums which guedita posted, (which are all fantastic)

On The Beach
Live at Massey Hall 1971
Tonight's the Night

This is why we're going to disappear in a fiery blaze as a society. Do you people not know how to learn from your mistakes? Monklish has, at best, a 75% correct grade each year. Yes, she has a few acts a year that she posts that end up being correct that no one saw coming, but for the most part, the stuff she's right about is stuff that can already be found on here. Stop taking her word as gospel, you sheep.

[heart cooks brain]

Baaaaah

Actually, last year she was around 90%. It cracks me up how the long time regulars on our lovely board always try to bring down her credibility. The only "big" names she was wrong on last year were Soundgarden and Beastie Boys. She obviously has major street cred and has more connections than anybody else in this community. Just be glad she does what she does, and despite what all of you nay sayers say, Daft Punk will be there this year. "Monklish is god", "LP8 is better than the Suburbs", "no geezer rock."

What about Deerhunter? They're tour dates for next year are only Europe but they end on April 13, enough turn around time to get them back for Coach? And what about Matt and Kim. I know they played last year but at their show in Tempe they said they loved playing last year and they have a new album. Could happen.

Pretty sure someone from this board kept tabs on her predictions and it was around 70%.

She might have edited them later to make herself look better.

[Nordboy]

as much as I would like deerhunter again, they just played last year. Maybe atlas sound instead? But fuck, coahcella should be about fresh blood. For psychedelic rock i would take a chance and go with tame impala.

[Bumblebee]

MUSE played 90 minutes before Tiesto

Haven't other 2nd bill headliners got 75-90 minutes?

[Somewhat Damaged]

Hey, that's not tangential at all.

[dorkfish]

no geezer rock."

Drew's not coming?

[I'dDoItAllAgain]

Low (realistic) expectations

Headliners:
Arcade Fire
Coldplay
Neil Young

I'm afraid of this. NY wasn't what I had in mind for the "WOW" headliner...

But 2/3 ain't bad. I'm just so tired of CP, I hope I still enjoy them.

Actually, Monklish licker, you're wrong. Go back and do some research.

She had Neil Young confirmed for 2009 lineup, by the way. She did not have Macca or the Cure on her list.

Tiesto was not the billed headliner, you dope.

please no, we're not going to come a long long come a long long way to watch those boring b@stards

[thom cobain]

I usually watch the headliners. Coldplay was, in my opinion, the worst one I've seen at Coachella. Completely soft.

He was saying "give us a chance." I was like, what the fuck do you think we're doing standing here in front of the main stage you dick. If headlining the greatest American festival isn't a chance I don't know what is. Then he went on to substitute "Coachella" as a lyric for "Yellow". You suck.

If they show I will not be giving them another chance. Not a great showman. Weak headliner.

[guedita]

Tiesto was not the billed headliner, you dope.

At 11 in the morning my boyfriend and I met this Mexican woman who was lost by the lockers asking us frantically why Tiesto hadn't started playing yet and what stage he was playing at because she drove up from Mexico just to see him headline.

Tiesto.

"monklish licker" I think I'm gonna put that in my profile. Regardless of what her exact percentage is, she still dominates anybody else on this board or on the web. She is the closest thing we have to an insider, but you would never admit that right Captain? " I hope you choke on a churro."

[stellarpoet22]

^^^^^^^ ......hahaha ...poor soul......

[guedita]

Where *does* Monklish get her information? It's a proven fact she never reads this board. IT'S A PROVEN FACT, SIR.

[captncrzy]

53 for 72, just under 75%.... So far...

55 for 72 now btw....


76.3% accuracy...

By the way, the accuracy is AFTER the edits, not prior. The accuracy scale was based on her final post hours before the lineup was revealed.

Regardless of what her exact percentage is, she still dominates anybody else on this board or on the web.

Dorkfish was over 90%.

I'm sorry you're so stupid.

[FurtherDownTheRabbitHole]

Pretty sure someone from this board kept tabs on her predictions and it was around 70%.

Truth. I've seen the edits. And what is worse is that this fight has to go on EVERY year.

There have got to be more interesting people making predictions this year.. RIGHT?!?!

[FurtherDownTheRabbitHole]

Fuck you. The prediction game played on this board alone has better percentages than monklish.

This board time and time again does the dirty work of digging through blogs, articles, interviews and then is exploited elsewhere... mostly to humorous effect.

But I hate people like you and even bringing this convo up again. Go jump in front of a car.

[captncrzy]

I don't have time to go back to the 2009 percentages. I just fired a vendor and now I need to go justify why.

[captncrzy]

And for the record, I do think Monklish Licker is a funny undercard title for a board name.

[menikmati]

Oct 13th, 2008 (from Monklish's blog):

Who won't be there:
Radiohead
The Talking Heads
Neutral Milk Hotel
REM
Led Zeppelin
Paul McCartney
Pearl Jam
U2
Stone Temple Pilots

Dear rabbithole, I Just wanted to point out I wasn't the one who brought it up fuck wad.

[TickleMeElmo]

She did not have Macca or the Cure on her list.

I'm pretty sure she actually mentioned both in the comments.

[captncrzy]

Turns out someone started a thread about the 2009 rating. Accuracy in 2009 was 77%.

Now I really have to go justify firing someone.
