[GeezrRckr]

well, now you can have him all to yourself with his solo project. upside for all.

[thestripe]

Well, that was a bitter sweet confirmation.

[magmazing]

This is weird. The Live Nation Western Canada Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/livenationwest) just posted a status that says:

"Rumor has it.... Coachella's gonna be pretty sweet this year. Check out the prospects on the 2011 line up: http://aol.it/gDKu51 "

Aren't Live Nation and AEG/Goldenvoice supposed to be competing companies?

"The sleuths over at the Coachella Forum..."

It's just news. LiveNation promotes concerts and festivals. So more people going to festivals and concerts is good for business

I turned Mines off about halfway through. I'll have to give them another chance.

It's taken me three listens to enjoy it. Probably would be an enjoyable early afternoon set if there's nothing else of interest (like the DOLAB)

Animal Collective is playing central CA the week up to Coachella. My good friend is the booking agent for Visalia and says this is their warmup show for Coachella since they cannot play southern California that close to the show. The tour has not been fully announced, but its happening.

[dorkfish]

I like Animal Collective*



*but they're not playing Cellar Door in Visalia.

[dorkfish]

If they do, I'll go. But all indications are that Aaron jumped the gun on announcing that show.

[citizenerased]

Oh wow, wasn't expecting AC at all. Good news.

[sacleonard]

Summerkid: thanks again for staying on top of the first page on this thread It's a good source of information and gets everyone excited for the lineup. Let's hope we see the official lineup drop in the next week or two.

From the Pearl Jam website yesterday - since anything counts as a rumor around here...

Happy PJ20 Ten Club!
01.05.11
2011 will be a yearlong celebration of Pearl Jam’s twenty-year history. The anniversary festivities kick off in a few weeks with the release of Live on Ten Legs.

A hint of what more to expect in the months ahead:

- A spring reissue of Vs. and Vitalogy in new, deluxe formats;
- The release of Cameron Crowe’s film, Pearl Jam Twenty, along with an accompanying book and soundtrack album;
- A 20th anniversary destination weekend bash sometime in late summer;
- Plus a number of special events and new, unexpected releases!

i read in rolling stone mag that pearl jam is planing something but it would be a festival somewhere in the middle of the country

[heart cooks brain]

That's what "20th Anniverdary weekend destination bash" means

[faxman75]

Yep, I too read they are planning their own festival this year.

[sbessiso]

*shudders* that sounds terrible

[phonographer]

Menomena! I asked Dan in Tempe, AZ if they were going to be playing, said they were going to try to get in. I guess they were successful!!!

Yessssss!!!!!!

[summerkid]

If they do, I'll go. But all indications are that Aaron jumped the gun on announcing that show.

but either way they are going to be in the are if they were in talks to play there correct?

[dorkfish]

Yes, they're playing.

[Boourns]

Yes, they're playing.

What's the word on Pulp?

[anevaude]

Menomena...

da da da da da....

[drowningmatt]

God damn I hope they are there or at Pitchfork. I can't afford to fly overseas this summer.

[anevaude]

What's killing me is how Goldenvoice has changed their Twitter icon to a Daft Punk ticket stub. Ugh, stop it.

[heart cooks brain]

Its been like that for years. Calm down.

[anevaude]

Will do. Where's my sleeping pills?

[kneuller]

havent really been excited about any of the confirmations so far...would be so into AC if they got added though

[Somewhat Damaged]

I really like Menomena's Mines but wasn't bowled over when I saw them last October. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance, though, considering how good their songs are.

[GeezrRckr]

get excited Tupac avatar. it's on.

[GOOD TIMES]

has anyone brought up Jenny and Johnny? I feel like they'll be there.

[bobchella]

My girlfriend would be very pleased

[Stickupkid]

Tupac and Elvis are going to come out of hiding and headline Saturday and Sunday from a very reliable source.
