LA Detour

[chrislasf]

Both of you need to knock it off with that Animal Collective business. I'll tell you what, I will mic my toilet the next time I make a run at Del Taco and burn you a CD. Then we can save the Animal Collective spot for someone else.

[schoolofruckus]

Don't worry....maybe Detour will book Norah Jones, so you can watch her with all the other white Puma jacket wearing ninnies while Ronnie and I get our faces melted off.

[chrislasf]

You guys should have the stage to yourselves.

I have yoga that day anyway.

Have fun.

[hangthedj112]

People who don't get animal collective crack me up.

[chrislasf]

Oh fucking please. Go engage in some consumption of dick. "Get them"? Really? You think their musical prowess and themes are escaping me? I just think they sound like shit. How about that. Back to the corner Johnny Jump Up.

I heard Interpol and The Faint have been invited to perform.

[noisemachine]

I heard Interpol and The Faint have been invited to perform.

Heard from who?

[Boourns]

Someone.

But I'm hoping for Asobi Seksu. After denying us Asobi Seksu at Coachella three years in a row, the powers that be gotta make that happen.

[instinct]

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

By the way...I loved having the DJs do their sets in that church. So much fun. And I liked having the option of eating at that pizza place (which was excellent and very reasonably priced) rather than having to get food from the vendors.

Oh god.. The aucoustics in the church were HORRIBLE though.. I loved the confession booths.. damn, i had a pic in there.. but i can't find it now.

Remember when I was spitting in the church and you said I was going to hell for it?


lol

if this turns out to be true, then i will be very happy.

i had to forego interpol and the faint at coachella for toher acts, so it seems that a detour appearance would be mandatory attendance for me.

I should not have been drinking liquid when I read that.

[AEversW]

Interpol could headline i would think. Maybe Sonic Youth?

I'm with Boourns though. I need some Asobi Seksu.

[ficklecycle]

I seriously doubt the Flaming Lips would do it.
But hey, Wayne is kinda crazy, so theres hope.

Last year seemed kinda good. I didn't go though, I don't think I even had a reason. Maybe the line up wasn't too good. I remember wanting to see Blonde Redhead, but can't remember any others.

If Interpol really were to play this, I'd so be right up front all fuckin day to see them.

[kroqken]

Maybe the Sneetches will get back together. It beats the Hudson Brothers variety show from the 1970s.

[ghettojournalist]

last year's lineup:



with Bruce Purdew and Kelly

[Boourns]

The Flaming Lips? That'd be sweet. I can't imagine them turning down an invite, because, well, do they ever?

I have yet to see them. Argh.

[fatbastard]

lol serious?? People actually camped for this?

I don't know about camping out on downtown LA. haha

[summerkid]

Whats wrong with you? its not like you haven't had enough chances.

[Boourns]

Well, actually, I haven't. Couldn't go to the second day of Coachella in 2004 because of school. And then the next show was ATP, and that's all the fuck way in Long Beach, and all my friends sucked and didn't want to go. After that they haven't really been to LA that much, except for last year's show at the Hollywood Bowl, which sold out and nosebleeds were $200 a ticket on ebay.

I ended up having to work that day anyway. Nothing beats working from 5am-7pm filming in the rain, which was better than filming inside, where it was 150 degrees, because the windows were closed up and we couldn't have fans on, or stuff would blow all over the place. And, of course, the noise.

I hate my life.

And you didn't get them before they sold out because....

He/She likes to help scalpers earn a decent living

[Boourns]

And you didn't get them before they sold out because....

Because I was waiting on a few people to either commit or decline going instead of being typical LA flakes. No fun if you can't all sit together. And then hundreds of dollars had to go to Coachella and Radiohead, so that makes buying six tickets when you may end up only needing two a pain.

There was really no reason for it to sell out that fast, either. I was able to buy Arcade Fire/David Byrne tickets a week before, and you couldn't go two seconds without hearing Arcade Fire hype back then.

It is cheaper to buy two $5 bowl seats and give one to a friend if no one wants to pay for it than to find a friend at the last minute and pay scalpers. 5 fucking bucks.

[tessalasset]

I whole-heartedly agree with Benjamin.

[noisemachine]

So...to get back on topic...who else do we all want to see at Detour?

To add to my earlier list, how about:

Battles
Dungen
Peter Bjorn and John
Giant Drag
Serena-Maneesh

That's too far back. $20 seats are as far back as I'll go. Not being able to see is one thing, but hearing? Sound tends to turn to shit at a thousand feet.

[Boourns]

Giant Drag is apparently over, now it's just Annie Hardy. In addition to Asobi Seksu, Menomena would also be good.

Shes still booking shows under that name. They (Annie and whoever is in it now) are apparently doing a show at a museum in LA soon but its $30. Then she is gonna do a new album.
I agree with Asobi Seksu and Menomena- I would want to see both.

[Boourns]

Annie Hardy is hot.
