JUST WAIT TIL YOU SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH DAVE GUETTA

[Relic]

It ain't much if it ain't dutch.

[sleepybrew]

I think it's a pretty damn good lineup. Yes, the Sahara blows. But really, aside from Sasha last year, what Sahara set was really that memorable?? I'll still be running around having a ball this year because the rest of the lineup is great.

At The Drive-In. Mazzy Star. Madness. Refused. GY!BE. Pulp. DJ Shadow. M83. Radiohead. The Black Angels. Squeeze. The Growlers. The Rapture. Flying Lotus. Buzzcocks. The Weeknd. Modeselektor. Dre and Dogg. The Sheepdogs. The Black Keys. Florence and the Machine (sorry, i'm a sucker, i know that's not credible, but )i just love that band, super lame, i know, so are run on sentences that aren't really sentences).

You know what might actually happen as a result of this Sahara lineup???
The kids might get bored. I don't know if there is enough molly and fist pumping to last through 25 of the same exact sets. I remember the Sahara in 2007. Mstrkrft, Justice, LCD Soundsystem and the Rapture all played in the tent the same night. And a know what? People had a fucking ball. I think in large part because of the diversity of those bands. It kept the stage interesting. I remember there being a steady debate about who was the best set at the end of the Sahara in 2008 between Aphex Twin, Pendulum and Fatboy Slim. Who cares who was right, there was diversity and people loved the musical change. In 2010, a lot of friends i have went to deadmou5 and said it was awesome. Fine, whatever. But they also went to go see Orbital and said they enjoyed Orbital more.

The point???? Diversity. Yes, the Sahara tent plays dance music. But it succeeds when it plays varying types of dance music. I think (most likely, wishfully thinking) that people will get bored by the same fucking set for 12 hours each day. Perhaps they will explore all the other sounds at the other stages or the artwork. And by the time Avicii gets on stage, he's playing to 15 drugged out mongoloids.
Fuck. What am I thinking. It's going to be deadmou5 and skrillex playing 6 hour sets next year. See? I'm contributing to my own rant. Damn I suck

[Phunkevil]

Clown music in the Sahara, Dome removed to make room for a beer garden, strange 2 weekend format that may have resulted in GV losing out on quality acts. All of this feels like a step in the wrong direction for the festival. Its a little deflating.

Give me a break. I think everyone agrees that the EDM line-up is the worst in history, but you talk about this shit like it's fact. Try listening to one of those bands that play musical instruments. They don't bite.

This shit is on point. It is difficult to try and top 07 but it doesn't mean Paul has to stop trying! also, skrillex being nominated (and not exactly an underdog to win) for best new artist in the year the mayans predicted our downfall is keeping me up at night.

[guedita]

Out of every absolutely completely fucked up thing going on in the world, Skrillex being nominated for a Grammy is what's keeping you up at night?

[sittingsideways]

I couldn't sleep last night and i was watching great amounts of Palladia's programming. I never thought in all my years that an artist like David Guetta would get so popular making the intermission music that plays between actual bands that play actual music.

[Nick o]

its a great thing that skrillex is nominated for a bunch of grammy's. way more proof for the argument that the grammy's are a meaningless shitty joke. anyone else notice he got 5 nominations and didnt release an album in 2011? just a shitty ep? lol fucking hilarious, LA times blows the guy up and theyre just like WELL GOTTA NOMINATE THE SHIT OUTTA HIM NOW

[Stickjohn]

Speaking of the grammys, just wait til you see what they do with Dave Guetta. I hope he's backing Dave Grohl covering I Will Always Love You.

Give me a break. At no point did I slag the lineup as a whole. Nor did I say anything about not listening to "musical instrument bands", though thanks for reassuring me that I'm at no risk of being bitten by them. Goodness gracious what precious counsel. I've no problem enjoying a nearly dance-music free coachella, and I'm pretty damn pleased w/ the "musical instrument band" portion of the lineup. But, sorry, no reason to pretend the dance music stuff is anything other than horrible. And yes, that's a fact.

[Mr. Fuzz]

I love "Sexy Chick".

[blackchango]

DER!

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I'm certain these surprises will be amazing

Green Velvet

[Gribbz]

^ That set wasn't that good.

[Zero23]

Green Velvet

Despite Sgt. Pokes and fucked up sound in the Sahara, I also enjoyed Magnetic Man.

[NoGwenPlease]

And F You, pal, I started a Midnight Beast thread and a Ximena Sarinana thread.

What midnight beast thread? MJA is full of LIES

the absolute worst was when dave grohl was giving his acceptance speech for best rock album(i think) and they cut him off with LMFAO. a great rant about making music from the heart, cut to a screeching halt by fucking party rock anthem.

I'm more interested in where I can find a stargate. Those can't be cheap.

[Gribbz]

With or without Kurt Russell?

[greghead]

Preferably with, though I'll settle for James Spader.

[chiapet]

I prefer Michael Shanks.
