Set Time Predictions- SUNDAY

[seandlr]

My mind set exactly. That stage is way too big for them.

[Genedefekt]

Miike Snow's myspace says 1pm. Seems early to me, but I could picture them opening the main stage. Whatchy'all think?

[shermanoaksyo]

Miike at 1 pm would be rather disappointing. If it must be early, stick 'em in the gobi/mojave

I highly doubt he'll be on at 1pm.
I wouldnt trust myspace either. Nine times out of ten they just put up the date and dont even fiddle with the time.

Well that's the point. They did fiddle with the time because it would've defaulted to 8pm otherwise. But when a band puts up 12pm or 1pm it's possible they could just be referring to the festival start time.

Switch Plastikman and Infected and that's probably ideal. This would allow one to see:

Yorke>Plastikman>Gorillaz>Orbital

except that would put Plastikman against Pavement, both rare acts.. while Yorke playes against Mushroom, neither of whom are rare acts..

if Gorillaz and Club75 conflict.....imma hav to choak a bitch

get ready to start 'choak'ing bitches..

I just don't think Club 75 will be closing the sahara or even starting anytime after sunset. In their case, the whole does not equal the sum of the parts.

GV bumped them up quite a bit on the poster.. a rare act (Orbital/Plastikman) isn't gonna play against a rare act (Gorillaz/Pavement).

PERIOD.

I may cry a little if Thom Yorke goes on at like.. 6pm. ambiance ruined.
but yes, logically Thom will go on before Pavement.

this is Pavement's first reunion show since they broke up at the very first Coachella in '99, Yorke played a small club in Hollywood a few months ago..

Thom will sub-sub, it'll be 7:30, the Kraftwerk slot.. or find me anytime any subheadliner didn't play immediately before the headliner (even Love & Rockets, who subbed, but played Outdoor, still played between the sub-sub and the headliner)

MATT & KIM NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MAIN STAGE.

[Pura Vida]

I LOL'd.

[PassiveTheory]

MATT & KIM NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MAIN STAGE.

Shut up already. They're a mid-level buz band with enough attention, have more mainstream cred than half the bands on Sunday, and work on the mainstage during the day, which is the hardest stage to book in the middle of the day. They're at circa-2007 SSPU-levels of popularity, and that's where SSPU played in 2007.

You think? They don't strike me as that big right now, but maybe SSPU's increased popularity since '07 is coloring my memory.

[clumsy342]

I just removed Gil Scott-Heron and moved Hadouken! to the Sahara.

[WhyTheLongFace]

So why isn't Orbital last?

[Gribbz]

So why isn't Orbital last?

Wishful thinking.

[clumsy342]

I think it's pretty likely that Orbital will indeed close out the Sahara.
But that would mean Thom Yorke would go on around 6:30ish.. And that is just really hard to imagine.

[Gizbro..]

How come no Local Natives at 3?
maybe switch with babasonicos?..

[esy191]

Club 75's set is still too short.

They will get 90 mins AT LEAST.

As I said in previous posts, any one of the guys in this sextet would be given an hour slot if they were DJing by themselves.

And in 2007, before Ed Banger took over the hipster world of dance music, Busy P and DJ Mehdi were given a nearly two hour set.

That was two DJs, this is six DJs.

That was two guys who almost no one knew at the time, this is six guys who almost everyone knows and two of whom could headline the sahara (and have).

Give them 90 mins at least. I'm expecting closer to 105 mins, but we'll see.

Oh yeah. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this 6 DJs at once thing. Is there a youtube of this in action anywhere?

[betao]

Clumsy, please for the love of god do not put Orbital against Gary Numan.

[DeadSkin]

Gorillaz v Gary Numan


fuck

fuck exactly

[betao]

Orbital vs. Gary Numan is just as bad, Forza.

[Boourns]

The two movie icons Charlotte and Yann won't conflict, switch Yann with Talvin.

I think Soft Pack -> King Khan ->Little Boots -> Jonsi -> Deerhunter -> Florence -> Sunny Day -> Julian Casablancas -> Yo La Tengo is more likely for the mojave.

[Hier_Proctor]

Deerhunter and Spoon should not conflict. They're touring together. It'd be awkward for them to share the same audience night after night then have to compete for festival goers' attention. Maybe switch Deerhunter and Khan?

Also, I still see Pavement into Thom into Gorillaz. Pavement's a total sunset act, like 7 to 8:20. Thom from 8:50 to 9:40. Gorillaz at 10:30. that's how I'd design it at least.

I don't understand the "logic" of Yorke going first. He's still the heart and soul of the greatest rock band on earth and he's got motherfucking Flea on bass. West coast freaks and intellectual snobs unite!

[Gizbro..]

I agree, Spoon/Deerhunter conflict seems unlikely..

It's not really 6 DJs all at once. It's 6 DJs taking turns mixing in songs. Tag team style.

These videos are not from a FULL Club 75 show (all 6 guys) but Busy P, Mehdi, and Cassius are all there:

[steve7268]

I never understood why you need more than 2 guys to man the decks. Even 2 seems lazy at times. Second concern, is Club 75 basically a glorified DJ set? is there anything special going on there at all as far as instruments are concerned or is it really just 6 guys playing Ipod shuffle?

[getbetter]

If Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo or Thomas Bangalter get tag in for Club 75 .

According to how it looks here i might just watch their set

[steve7268]

Also, i don't think it matters that Plastikman and Pavement are both rare acts. Plastikman and Pavement are completely different genres. Hopefully they find a way to make this work.. no one should miss the end of Orbital or the beginning of Gorillaz, or really any part of either set.

Best solution? Plastikman to Friday or Saturday, preferably Saturday.

[shermanoaksyo]

Move orbital to saturday!

It's not a glorified DJ set, it IS a DJ set. They have never said anything publicly to lead us to believe it would be anything other than a DJ set.

And it's not 6 guys playing an ipod shuffle, you bozo.

If you have such clear disdain for DJing, why would you ever consider coming near the Sahara tent? 80% of the acts who play there are DJing rather than playing live. Cool your heels and enjoy it, it's a dance party not a display of technical prowess and unmatched musicianship. If you are coming to a DJ set expecting to see music being made before your eyes, you are missing the point of a DJ set.
