coachella 2008 poster

[Wheres the beef?]

But that honor goes to you good sir.
Ummmmm, you are pointing out obvious s**t, hello you photoshop everything THEN PRINT dude. I said this earlier on how they 'took hours to get the right blur on the camera to post this.''

Some of us are slower than others.

[menikmati]

A few things I know about this photo:

1- It hasn't been photoshopped. If is fake then it was created, printed, then taken a picture of.
2- The blur on the photo seems legit. Everything is blurred at the exact same down and to the left angle. Remember: "down and to the left" "down and to the left".
3- The blur is too good to have been blurred by hand in photoshop. There is no tool that I know of where you can blur things at a downward angle like that.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I don't get what you're trying to prove other than the obvious. The person photoshopped the poster, then to make it seem more legit, printed it and took a photo of it (I don't think it was blurry on purpose though, camera phones just plain suck balls) instead of claiming to have some .jpg version of it (which would seem more unlikely).

And hid the url of the hosting site instead of using like imageshack or photobucket etc etc.

[Amneeziac]

Jesus, this person must have really thought things through... or maybe it's real!

well I dont think that would matter (to me at least). If someone got hold of some legit poster or photo of whatever, but had no other options to share it other than the free hosting sites, I wouldn't see any problem.

All they had to do was go through the rumors forum and through here and just pick out all of our ''requests'' and just go from there.

... isn't that what GV does every year?

... isn't that what GV does every year?

Yes and no, but still though GV always has ''suprises''. Oh and they ask us to post our suggestions on a myspace blog btw.

[menikmati]

if they do, then here GV, read this please!!!!:

BOARDS OF CANADA

And what he did works too.

[Amneeziac]

Ah, mmk. I'm perfectly satisfied with this fake line-up, even without any surprises. This just makes me more excited for when the real thing comes out.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Geez, the rumor posters are starting early this year...

[amyzzz]

I had a really nice weekend with Boards of Canada recently.

I like how Girl Talk is playing again.

I want Girl Talk again. And maybe by 2008 everyone realizes how great he is?

I think he is fun....

[rage patton]

If this is fake (which it probably is) but if it is indeed fake, who in their right mind would think to themselves, "Hmmm I'm gonna add Serj Tankian to this poster. That will really get 'em" Besides the fact that it is out this early and the person who posted it seems to be a complete moron, what about it seems unlikely or fake besides what i just stated above? Just looking at the 2nd and 3rd tier bands makes me think that it could be the real deal.

Why couldnt Serj Tankian be at Coachella next year? Serj Tankian said in a recent interview that is 2008 he would be doing a major tour and the festival circuit. I wouldnt be surprised if he popped up on basicaly every festival next year. Much like Gogol Bordello, Rodrigo y Gabriela and many other did this year. I actually think Serj Tankian is very likely for next year actually. His new album comes out Oct 23. Pick it up. It is going to sound very different from System of A Down.

Serj is a funny, funny guy.

Greatest interview EVER!

[ficklecycle]

This is all hilarious.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Hi. Maybe you all don't know me yet, but I'm Malcolm Jamal Awesome. I'm VERY excited to watch everyone discuss/debate this fake lineup. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I've never been in on one of these fake lineups from "the ground up".
Thanks in advance.
Seriously, so excited.
Me ... AND Dave Wang.

[RotationSlimWang]

You're not even going in 08, stop trying to get some sick pleasure out of this.

[tklint24]

SEVEN REASONS WHY THIS IS FAKE:

1. DELTRON 3030 (Del the Funky Homosapien and Dan the Automator) was confirmed on a recent thread. Of course that may not be true, but then it could.

2. There are only like 3 or 4 hip hop acts playing, which is WAY low. Coachella is an electronic, indie, AND hip hop festival. I'm a huge hip hop fans and the only ones to get excited about is Aesop Rock and Common.

3. There is NO way they could of billed all these acts this early. Just no way.

4. My Bloody Valentine is high, Armin Van Buuerin, and Louis XIV are WAY to high and Portishead is too low

5. The Coachella poster should be different colors.

6. the whole story on how this guy got the poster is INCREDIBLY fishy.

7. The people running this board would've taken down this thread if this poster was real.

[rage patton]

Weren't you the guy who said there is a 100% chance the Police will be playing at Coachella?

[RotationSlimWang]

Thanks for summing up most of the reasons we've already flushed out why this is fake, although items one and five aren't necessarily true and Portishead will be second line when the poster comes out.

Otherwise, please continue to repeat things. We need you, klint.

[airguitarvet]

this is real......

[airguitarvet]

.......fake

[tklint24]

Weren't you the guy who said there is a 100% chance the Police will be playing at Coachella?

hahahaha, yea that was me. I was trying to do the same thing this fucker has done which is stir things up and make everyone go crazy. The only difference is that I didn't accomplish that and obviously this guy did.

[dontfeedthebird]

best real fake poster ever.

[Boourns]

Why would SSPU be on the line up YET AGAIN after being on it this year? You can put Muse and Radiohead on the same day, thats not an issue. Thats like saying you cant put Pixies and Radiohead on the same day, BUT IT HAPPEND.

Thom hates Muse. Drama could ensue.

[shakermaker113]

all the arguments about which line bands should be on are BS -- remember this year? arctic monkeys were on line two, which no-one would have believed if it had showed up in a rumor. AND bands changed lines after the initial poster was released, so given that this poster would be such an early draft there's clearly room for it to change.

there is quite a bit of our greatest demands missing from this as it is.

oh then it can't be real.

it's funny how many of these bands actually ended up playing. no-one predicted daft punk though. :-)

Drama is gonna be there?
