LA Detour

[instinct]

Ha, seriously? I was just assuming. Because we were already told Justice would be back to LA in the fall, and having them play in an old cathedral would be PRICELESS.

oh shit.. it took me a second to get that. That would be AWESOME.

[noisemachine]

That would be very awesome. Kanye should perform with them too.

[psychic friend]

ew...

[PineapplePete]

ew is right

[noisemachine]

Aw you guys wouldn't want to hear him rant about how he is the greatest person on earth? Plus I hear that anything he touches turns to gold.

[kroqken]

They should add XTC and Supergrass.

[bmack86]

XTC aren't together anymore, Ken. Alan Partridge said so. Heartbreaking news, but we have to accept that and move on. And also accept the fact that he'd never play anyway.

[noisemachine]

A few more bands to add to my wishlist:

M.I.A.
Architecture in Helsinki
The Go! Team
Liars
Fiery Furnaces
Spoon
Chemical Brothers
Okkervil River
Wolf Parade
Sigur Ros

plus everything I mentioned previously

[Boourns]

M.I.A. will never get to play America again because she's a terrorist.

[noisemachine]

M.I.A. will never get to play America again because she's a terrorist.

So is that a permanent thing? I was hoping that she could come by October.

M.I.A. will never get to play America again because she's a terrorist.

she also sucks

[Boourns]

Yeah, the novelty wore off real quick.

[kroqken]

I never heard that XTC broke up, just that they have different members besides Partridge. He suffers from major stage fright.

[Boourns]

I wish:
either The Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire to headline (not really big enough of a festival for both)
Justice (obviously already happening)
Asobi Seksu
Menomena
Metric
Jarvis Cocker (actually, I'd prefer a headlining gig so I could hear a few more songs, but if this is what it takes to get him to come back, go for it)

[Boourns]

Any speculation, anyone?

[meyouseek]

They should get the DoLab stage/area/village

[ThomThom]

Any speculation, anyone?

So Justice is pretty much confirmed?

[noisemachine]

No...Detour isn't out in a grassy field where something like that would work. Its in downtown LA, in the streets. I don't think it would go well in that setting.

[kroqken]

Maybe they can reunite the Blue Aeroplanes, the Judybats, and the Stone Roses.

ya it would....they can work their magic in pretty much any setting.

[Boourns]

TESLA COIL

I know they could do it...I'm just saying it would look bad. I liked the urban feel of Detour and those leafy pod things would take away from that.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Now I might be torn, Download in San Francisco is that same day. Unless there is something really awesome(Justice) I wont go.

[Boourns]

October 6
3 stages
20+ bands

Hmm, I wonder which stage went kaput. The same day as Download? I guess that means no Metric, ouch. But on the bright side, no She Wants Revenge.

Awesome, hopefully I'll still be in the country so I can go to this. I was dissapointed I had to miss last years

Actually, it hadn't. The date wasn't even known until now, so thank you.

[noisemachine]

Is signing up for that thing on the link the only way to get presale info? I don't like it that giving you cell number is required...

[bballarl]

On a random note, I want the Lemonheads to play.
