2008 Rumored Lineup

[Alchemy]

this is a rumor only:

my friend in the inside (around the music industry down in so.cal) says they cannot confirm anything yet but do not expect any previous headliners this year. they are trying to stay away from that this year.

main rumors around his office he says are:

fri: the killers/portishead
sat:the white stripes/chemical brothers
sun:the smashing pumpkins/my bloody valentine

we shall see: 3 weeks away.

last year my friend gave me the headliners 2 days before they were announced. but please understand these are just heresay rumors and nothing confirmed but it is becoming interesting!

You fail at this thread. The Killers are weak ass headliners. The Smashing Pumpkins are far from sloppy seconds. They are carriers of SUPER AIDs.

[psychic friend]

complete bs

[faxman75]

Yep, my friend told me it's Radiohead, R.E.M. and Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.

[daftmonkey64]

the killers will not get me to come from hawaii.

but the chemical brothers will.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

The Killers as headliner lolol

[Alchemy]

Plus my friend on the inside (Capital) said that GV hasn't booked anything yet. He said that GV will be watching American Idol very closely this year and that as people progress in the show, they will be added to the line up.

[nocigarettes]

the killers suck

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

oh come on! The Killers aren't THAT bad! Not headliners though....

[F00FIGHTER20]

saw the killers and the smashing pumpkins this past september @ V festival toronto......wasn't a big fan of the killers until i saw them live.....they were damn good.... not headliner material though..........they aren't that big... the smashing pumpkins were only good becasue of the nostalgia...........so if either of these bands play coachella, i say BOOOOO......

[fire_in_cairo]

Friggin' Awsome, now I can probably afford a beer or two!

Hahaha, it's shit beer, but much better than Schlitz, Milwalkee's best, &Busch.

[Alchemy]

The spirit of this thread has died. I hope all of you are happy.

[dorkfish]

i like when joke testing posts turn into real posts.

i still still like this

Hahahah.

Well, I heard that Goldenvoice already signed Led Zeppelin and were gunning for either Justin Timberlake or Guns N' Roses but couldn't afford both. The deal with GNR couldn't be finalized by the end of November so they were gonna go with JT but then GNR suddenly was back on the table so GV was still debating whether to go with JT still. Axl is demanding more secrecy than the line-up usually has, hence why we haven't heard anything definitive yet. But y'all need to keep this on the DL and you didn't hear it from me, capiche?

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks Tour for Trash
As we mark off the days until Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks sully our earholes with their Real Emotional Trash, we're happy to have another scrap of Malky news to tide us over. Filthmongers and germaphobes alike will be able to pick up and file through their Trash March 4 thanks to Matador, and Malkmus and company will take their rubbish on the road in late March and early April. And, unlike those dudes in the big trucks who wake you up every morning, this trashy bunch make a racket you'll be pleased to hear.

This current spate of Malkmus dates is awfully generous to the eastern half of the country, but more Jicks live garbage is promised in April.

Dates:

03-19 Minneapolis, MN - First Avenue
03-20 Milwaukee, WI - Pabst Theater
03-21 Chicago, IL - Vic Theatre
03-22 Indianapolis, IN - Vogue Theater
03-23 Newport, KY - Southgate House
03-25 Nashville, TN - Mercy Lounge
03-26 Atlanta, GA - Variety Playhouse
03-28 Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
03-29 Philadelphia, PA - Fillmore
03-31 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
04-02 Brooklyn, NY - Music Hall of Williamsburg
04-03 Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club
04-04 North Adams, MA - MASS MoCA




***cough****cough***more dates in APRIL****cough****

[faxman75]

I don't know if you know but the Guns N' Roses signing would include Slash on guitar, Matt Sorum on drums but no Izzy Straddlin.

[Somewhat Damaged]

I predicted Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks in the Festival Pool. And just curious, but why would there be no Izzy Straddlin? Is he the one who was on one of those seasons of the Surreal Life or was that some guitarist from another '80s band?

[ArcadeParade]

Hot Chip?

04-23 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
04-24 San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore
05-09-11 Rye, England - Camber Sands Holiday Centre (ATP vs. Pitchfork) ^

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

damn...I should have put Hot Chip on my pool list....

[nolocomotive]

hot chip has to be there for sure. especially with no announced l.a. date on that tour and being in s.f. on the 24th

[ArcadeParade]

I will be glad to watch this repeat performance

(hope)

[oooduga]

I would watch that

[bartelby]

You might as well confirm him!

M83 Reveals Full Album Details

Now that he's gotten his ambient kicks with this past fall's Digital Shades Vol. 1, Anthony Gonzalez is ready to release his fifth album as M83, titled Saturdays = Youth. The album is apparently focused on more structured songs than the Digital Shades material, though "Couleurs", available for streaming now, doesn't seem too reliant on traditional pop song structure.

As previously reported, Gonzalez recorded Saturdays with producers Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, Suede, Cocteau Twins, the Sugarcubes) and Ewan Pearson (the Rapture, Ladytron). Mute will release the album on April 15.

"Graveyard Girl" will be the album's first single.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Don't know much about M83...care to enlighten me?

[Boourns]

Hot Chip?

04-23 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
04-24 San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore
05-09-11 Rye, England - Camber Sands Holiday Centre (ATP vs. Pitchfork) ^

Oh wow, now there are tour dates. Someone in the know said a couple weeks ago that Hot Chip would play again, and I consider this even more proof. Unfortunately, I was told not to hold my breath for The Chemical Brothers, so we'll see

Don't know much about M83...care to enlighten me?

It's great electronic music, but more ambient and not dancey. I hear some shoegaze influence in it. Great music. I'd rank the albums as follows:
1. M83
2. Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
3. Before the Dawn Heals Us
4. Digital Shades Volume 1

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Thanks Boourns, and why are we writing off the Chems?

[faxman75]

M83 isn't a him either. It's a band. They do have some electronic but last I checked they have a killer guitar player and drummer. Unless someone died or something or maybe I was really stoned. I dunno. I swear I remember guitar and drums though. They were stellar in 2005. A definite highlite of mine.

[Boourns]

Because the source behind my Hot Chip "scoop" said not to hold my breath for that one, but seemed somewhat unsure. Oh, VHS or Beta is also a go, but we already knew that.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Ah! I knew I saw his name somewhere! I will have to check my old 2005 settimes to see who I was watching at the time...

Well, M83 was originally two guys, but they split sometime before Coachella 05, and now it's just one of them touring with various musicians as needed.
