This is a nice surprise. Although, I would have been more stoked to just see them on the postal then to hear billboard leak a couple bands.

[brando4n82]

maybe this will push them to release the line up tomorrow

[Zafocaine]

Because what Postal Service really need if they're going to be playing Coachella is someone posting their played out dozen or less songs. Good to see you're on the ball with this one...

GOSH ZAF!! Why are you so mean!!!! poor guy....

Haha is it mean? I'm just taking the opportunity to tell people why they should avoid taking the opportunity. What's so wrong with that? Do you think xanman is more interested in Postal Service being at Coachella, or being the first one to start the Postal Service 2013 thread? To what end, mine friend?

I'm just bitter after all those hundreds of pages in the lineup rumor thread. No one should read all of that. And now I'm almost afraid to see the lineup, with all the acts people want on there. I would have been really happy to see Postal Service in 2009. In 2013 I see them playing their old album as a "too little too late" act. Hopefully they're up there with new amazing material. All these old ass acts being suggested for Coachella is taking me back to times better off not thought of =D

Yeah but with a 50 minute set, hearing mainly that album works well for me.

I've just heard those songs way too many times. I don't see how they could perform them with a fresh feeling... though if they were to do some kind of re-take on all of the old tunes, I would find that very appealing!

[fredbull]

I just want to hear such great heights....

[ameeps]

Haters gonna hate but i'm really excited for this reunion. One of my favorites way back in the day.

[brando4n82]

I for one could not care less about this act, most likely wont watch any of their set, But I am happy for the people that have been asking for them. They have been sought after for a while now..

If we're counting covers, then isn't it something like 17 songs?

[theecat]

News to me if the count is that far up there. Please do share other covers that I've missed. I'll be secretly hating myself for missing them these past 10 years.

[SepaGroove]

[drewskeee]

So excited!! Give Up is definitely one of my all time favorites... I still listen to it from time to time and reminisce about those years! I'm already prepared for a sing-a-long and buckets of tears!

I didn't mean to imply that they were they ones covering the songs, but there are remixes and covers of their songs (though I guess they wouldn't be playing those covers). If they're going to be there, I'm going to want to see Jenny Lewis on the stage too.

[theecat]

I wonder if this counts as remix or cover. I was never able to determine if they remixed in Gibbard vocals as well or if it's just DnTel with the beats:

YES. Absolute must.

[Zafocaine]

YES. Absolute must.

I don't consider it much of a stretch considering how many times she's been to Coachella in various different musical vehicles. Definitely possible.

Relistening to Give Up now that I'm not an obnoxious teenager;
This band is fucking corny and awful

[blueduck]

Super excited all I need is dp and kris kross now.

[xanman86]

Wow, didn't get a "this thread sucks" from blueduck!

That's sort of what I was thinking. It wouldn't be the same in 2013. All the fans are growds up.

Somethings are timeless for some. I have been re listening since rumors started 3 weeks ago. I sorta get transported back in time to who I was, what idealistic ideas I had, who I was dating, etc. Kinda loving those feelings and crazy excited for this.

[with_cheese]

Good chance some of you are too young to remember their only tour, but prepare yourselves to be massively disappointed.

[kananilove]

happy to see them get back together. Never got to see them live back in the day
