Feel-Good Song Of Coachella 2013

[Pumpkinhead33]

He's dumb but you can't figure out how to embed a YouTube video like all your peers have managed.

This is true.

The idea is that not many people had heard of the band before the lineup comes out and in the span of lineup research a number of people notice the band and then an unexpected surge of popularity and good vibes greets the performers when they take the stage. See: Hot Chip in 2007, MGMT (for better or worse, it happened) in 2008, I don't really remember in 2009, Edward Sharpe in 2010, some other bands the past couple years.

No way Nick Cave plays Stagger Lee. I've seen him 3 times since Murder Ballads (once on the Murder Ballads tour!) and he's never played it live at any of those shows (though I've seen him perform The Curse of Millhaven twice and perform Henry Lee with Blixa Bargeld singing the PJ Harvey parts once).

Based on what I saw of his festival setlists in 2012, Stagger Lee is pretty frequent. Sadly, The Curse Of Millhaven is much rarer.

[Pumpkinhead33]

That's fair. I'm sorry, my last post was rude. I'm going to hunt for a better example than Blur (although that will be a happy song).

[Fig Neutron]

Oh I see, you're some kind of asshole who's going to claim that everyone has heard of this band who I've never heard of and who have never played any prominent venues or festivals. Great. We needed more of you.

Little Talks gets played on the radio non-stop. Mountain Sound is a pretty good choice, though.

[theStank]

should be a good groove under that hot sun

My mom loves Of Monsters and Men, what rock have you been living under?

[Josh_Garrett]

I can almost guarantee a massive sing along when the Lumineers play Ho Hey

[fibes]

of monsters and men was my feel good set of lollapalooza last year but i agree i'm sick of hearing little talks on the radio...

My hope is we will get a new feel good song right at spring that will blow all of these away. Actually be new/exciting on the fields, not played out already by mainstream radio.

Of monsters and men was getting huge airplay already when the lineup came out..... you sir live under a huge rock

[kerby14]

This is also not a thread for d-bags

nice one

[fibes]

i have to go with fredbull on this one.

MGMT was a good example, that album was released December 14, 2007 and blew up Dec, Jan, Feb, March leading into coachella.

of monsters and Men album came out Sept 2011 been out over 1.5 years by the time they hit the fields.

Also you are sort of coming across as a whiny pussy in this thread slimwang.

Yes.....

and also

That is a song you could literally hear anywhere, mostly at a shitty club. No end thread. Re-read the thread description.

Do you understand a joke?

[Drewski27]

Sixpack has been the best selection thus far. Some of you fucks are looking way too into this.

[iamthehorn]

Wasted Days is also going to be awesome but doesn't really have the feel good element.

[Hedley Lamar]

You are correct!

[VOLVOX17]

see here's where I have to say something.
has anyone re-read what the quote said?
it says that the song hits home with YOU. not sit-n-spin, not me, not PB Unit. YOU.
no audience singing along or any other communal reaction. just you.
alternatively, if this were a post to name your bet on this year's ,Somebody that i used to know, here's my pick.

Who the fuck listens to the radio? Seriously? Look, if you're pissed at a band because they're on KROQ a lot, that's YOUR fucking fault.

[bganch]

didn't follow the rules, but...

[Miroir Noir]

By Randy's own criteria, part of the definition is the spontaneity of the moment that the song is played. Accordingly, none of us can predict the song now.

/thread

[RotationSlimWang]

That has nothing to do with the criteria. I have been able to predict the song that would be it at least three of the years.

[Zafocaine]

Guaranteed:

[rmizzle]

Please tell me your not thinking the lumineers?

[RotationSlimWang]

The Lumineers are not looking likely, mostly due to the fact that I have still avoided having to hear them based on gut suspicion of their name.

[stinkbutt]

Also, just like Of Monster and Men, they are already insanely popular.

[RotationSlimWang]

Yeah, no. No they're not.

[RotationSlimWang]

You guys throw around the term "insanely popular" pretty liberally.

[fibes]

they were up for artist of the year, played at the grammys last night. Sold out every show on their US tour last year (on their wiki page with cited source) about to play back to back sold out shows at O2 Academy, Brixton. Oh and had the #2 album via billboard.

In October, 2012, Spotify named "Ho Hey" as the most shared song in Manhattan, and 3rd most shared in Brooklyn.

"Ho Hey" has also been the #1 most played track in the US on Spotify

"The Lumineers" have been the #1 most listened to album for several weeks via spotify.

In the UK Spotify chart "Ho Hey" is #1, and "The Lumineers" is #2.

and as of December 2012, the single had sold over 2
