Could Pavement Headline?

[liquidsnake28]

they let JJ and The Killers headline. why not pavement, considering they are 10x the band that either of those others are....

... because Pavement isn't nearly as popular as either. Are you completely oblivious as to how festival lineups work?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

People are confusing Pavement's awesomeness with Pavement's ability to headline Coachella.

so is Billboard I guess...

[crazzz2007]

why even bring up Billboard. what does Monklish think?

Indeed.

I'm one of those diehards who bought tickets for NYC in September, even though I knew they'd probably play Coachella, too. Malkmus/Jicks were one of my favorite sets in 2008, and they pulled an impressive mid-afternoon crowd at the Outdoor Theatre.

I can see Pavement as a subheadliner on the Coachella Stage. Even with the whole reunion aspect, that's as high up the food chain as I can see them being. And I'd have said the same for Blur, who I also adore.

High-five for rational thought!

Here's the thing guys: when sites like Billboard talk about who's "headlining" Coachella, haven't you all noticed that they don't really differentiate between headlining and subheadlining? Like last year all those big trades would say that the fest was being headlined by Paul, The Cure, The Killers, and also subs like Amy Winehouse. They seem to consider all of it headlining. So I think the article is probably likely to be accurate under their definition.

But no, never in a million years could Pavement actually headline Coach. Mostly because punk sucks.

this makes the most sense out of every thing in this thread..

David Bowie in the Sahara, sounds like the worst idea ever

about as much as Pavement headlining, and the point i was making..

i thought these rumors about them headlining came from interviews done around the time of last year's lineup announement, when they talked about how they wanted to headline and weren't interested in doing it otherwise..

Stick to trying to bluff your way through the non-music threads.

UMMMM....Pavement isn't Punk in the least bit....

I believe Randy has confused 'Pavement' with 'Refused.'

Speaking of which, Refused would be a great reunion.

pavement is pretty punk if you consider punk a lifestyle and not a musical genre

[crazzz2007]

i don't care what the fuck pavement is, as long as they don't headline.

pavement blows.

Besides Daft Punk, who do you like?

I'd wager ICP from his temperament.

you're talking out of your ass again. i haven't posted abut daft punk in 2 years, except to mock them for the whole Tron thing.

you are the prince of "talking out of ass"

[woogie846]

There's absolutely no way Pavement could headline. If Portishead couldn't do it, then Pavement definitely couldn't do it.

Stop dancing around the question. Who do you like? Who are some of your favorite all time artists? Who are you currently digging? I am not asking this in an acusatory manner. I am just curious.

I believe Randy is confused .

Fixed.

Walk into a Best Buy. See how much JJ and Killers material you can find. Then see how many Pavement CDs you can find.

There's your answer.

Better and Popular are two totally different things.

i know i sound like a douchebag when saying it, but you know what i mean. Punk isn't about mowhawks it's about Jamming Econo.

See, we actually have pretty similar taste in music. I don't understand why you get so huffy some of the times.
