Treasure Island Music Festival 2012

It still hurts to think of what m83 has turned into. The Coachella set was not as good as the shows from back in 08-09. sigh.

And there is no turning back... he is exponentially more popular now than he was before, so no need for him to veer from his current path. I really don't get how this is the album that clicked with the masses.

[Miroir Noir]

I'm not certain that the album itself did click with the masses.

[Gribbz]

Their Coachella set was unremarkable. I've hardly listened to them since

That about sums it up for me, as well.

Both XX sets I saw were painfully mediocre. Need to see them in a proper setting.

Matt, did you miss the xx at Sasquatch '10?

So I went to the TIMF shindig at Prizefighter last night, and talked to one of the guys who works for TIMF, he mentioned that it was interesting that no one has commented on the difference in how many bands there are per day. He had my friend pull up the lineup poster on his phone and pointed to the "empty" slot on Sunday, and told us they were going to be adding another band, not a headliner, but not a small band either. So take that for what its worth.

UPDATE: There is a gap between Youth Lagoons and Los Campesinos! on the FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/240106696109187/

Unless he mentioned something about replacing Porter Robinson and Girl Talk I'm not much interested.

Girl Talk had to have been a fall-back. No way were they shooting for him as the Sat "headliner". Damn is that an embarrassing booking.

I have to say I am happy this lineup ended up being shit, it made me pull the trigger for fyf fest.

I'm still mourning the 04-05 years.

[Sushov23]

I'm still mourning the 04-05 years.

what? no love for Saturday=Youth? That is their high point in my opinion. For the record, I don't hate the new album. It's just doesn't compare to the 3 previous records.

[zircona1]

The M83 show I saw last month was not as good as I had hoped it would be (first time seeing them as well). No "Kim and Jessie" or "Don't Save Us From the Flames" either.

[amma_sol]

I'm also passing this year. I have gone the past two years but with the price increase and lackluster lineup... just doesn't seem worth it. Might have considered it if it was cheaper.

[fetuspiniata]

M83>DC,RS,LG>BTDHU>Digital Shades>Saturdays=Youth>Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

You have to admire the consitency. I didn't even know who M83 was before coachella '05 and I was blown away. I went to the record store the week after we got back and bought every album and a couple singles. It breaks my heart to think that we may never see songs like car chase terror on setlists ever again.

you guys will hate this then: http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplayli...ruise-20120628

How about adding Metric for sunday? They're in the area then and don't have any SF shows announced, do they?

[trigbees]

As cool as adding Metric might be, they would be higher on the billing than Youth Lagoon, Divine Fits, and Best Coast (not sure about Gossip vs. Metric) and the gap in the lineup suggests someone lower than Youth Lagoon, but higher than Los Campesinos! So I doubt it would be Metric.

Which totally sucks because Metric hasn't announced a real Bay Area show, and I'd love to go see them!

[WhatLies]

Saturday looks good to me aside from girl talk and araabmuzik. I agree that m83 belongs as the saturday headliner... I'm guessing they're too big for TI now, but I was really hoping florence + the machine would headline sunday.

[skyismad]

Joanna Newsom added on Sunday.

[zircona1]

Whoa. I'm not a fan, but I'd be curious to check out her set. Maybe I will get a 2-day pass.

[waterandcoffee]

wild belle added and the neighbourhood dropped. shitties.

[andyforpeace]

I'm so glad this festival won't be as packed as osl

[MostlyMellow]

yeah ti has amazing views / less crowds / hardly any walking. Its very low key. I wish the lineup could justify me going.

[PJandBompton]

VIP worth it?

[Ross1492]

Gonna be a very good afterparty for this. Should be announced shortly. Believe it'll be on Sunday though not entirely sure.

[waterandcoffee]

VIP worth it?

haven't done it but from what i saw it looks like you get bleacher access and nothing else worth much

[Ross1492]

Gonna be a very good afterparty for this. Should be announced shortly. Believe it'll be on Sunday though not entirely sure.

10/14 - Jamie XX, John Talabot (Live) @ Public Works

[Robin]

Selling my 2-day pass if anyone is interested. $128.45

[thefrush]

How bout $128.44?

[Robin]

Lol. $128.45 was exactly what I paid for it. I might be able to negotiate down to $128.44, but you'd have to throw in a hand job.

[suprefan]

Youre supposed to include the handjob, youre azn...
