Justin Timberlake 2013

[sydeprojext]

Interesting thing is if you read the countdown as months, days, hours, it would end the first weekend of the festival, although the hours throws things off a bit

[jeffwilson]

I can't listen to the audio at work. What is the general theme of the video? Is there anything that would make this announcement more or less likely to be related to Coachella? Normally I wouldn't assume a connection automatically between big news and Coachella, but that countdown looks suspiciously coincidental to a conceivable time the lineup might drop.

It's basically him talking about how he has only made two albums in 10 years and couldn't imagine making more than that in that time frame. But now he is ready to get back to it.

Nothing that really matches with Coachella in the video, but the countdown is interesting and the fact that this year he is reportedly dropping an album, Coachella might be his jump off point? Just speculating.

[travelfan]

I think it's most likely a countdown to the release of a new single or the release date for the new album.

That's the most logical answer, obviously, but the timing is coincidental enough to at least discuss.

[sydeprojext]

The video is of him discussing how much he cares about making music but that he can't keep pumping out a record year in and year out. It ends with him saying "I'm ready"

[ausfor2013]

He will be at Coachella. Mark my words.

Two things:

1. Justin Timberlake is infinitely cooler and better than Tiesto or Swedish House Mafia or David Guetta or Kings of Leon.

2. For all you hipsters that think it's uncool, Pitchfork gave his last album an 8.1 so you have cover.

So not really line-up related but I'm intrigued to see Timberlake in the next Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis, which could be out next month.

It's about the early Greenwich Village folk music scene. JT plays a folk singer opposite Carey Mulligan, with the lead played by Oscar Issac. The soundtrack will feature Issac, Timberlake, Marcus Mumford (married to Carey Mulligan), and The Punch Brothers, with T Bone Burnett producing. Like it or hate it, the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack was pretty successful and helped popularize bluegrass so who knows what having JT and Marcus Mumford involved in a film about folk music will do - especially with JT singing onscreen.

IMDB shows a release date of 2/8/13 but from what I've read elsewhere there is no distributor and no release date. Maybe Cannes? Not aware of any trailers/videos featuring Timberlake but Issac and Mumford have played together.

Wow this festival has come a long way from where it started when we're actually seriously considering the possibility of fucking garbage like that on the poster.

You are a pretentious dickhole, and the antithesis of a reasonable argument against soulless pop music. You're making those with taste look bad. Shut up.

Oh my god you're so funny! What does it take to be as funny as you?

Do I need to start including more z's in my posts?

[naruto_kenshin]

Couple more 40s and you're good.

[vogina]

i use to jam out to nsync and jt.

i don't oppose this.

[cuauhtemoc723]

if justin timberlake were to play, i'd watch the second half of his set. i like him as an artist/performer to catch his own show, but i'd like to see what he does at my beloved festival.

[Niklass]

He's def talented.

[drewskeee]

Its comments like this that really bring the quality of this board down. Go away with your negativity... You know as well as anyone else that Timberlake has more than paid his dues... He sings, dances, acts, plays instruments... He's a huge draw and would provide a great pop headliner name to the festival. If you could possibly provide some rational reasons as to why he doesn't belong as even a consideration, then fine, we should discuss that, but calling him fucking garbage is an awful exaggeration...

JT > The Killers, Kings of Leon, Jack Johnson, Mumford and Sons etc...

warning: it's pretty bad.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I'm into it... the Hov verse is kinda weak. I don't think it's as nuts as anything from his last album... this is like 10pm getting a cocktail with 6 ingredients music which is dope, I'm really glad it's not a 130 bpm banger or something.

[concertgoer]

Yeah it's pretty bad and I liked his first two albums.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Did you guys listen beyond the intro? The intro is pretty terrible to the point that I think it might be a joke, but the rest of the song is pretty good. Some groovy, mellow pop music. It's not changing my life but of all the possible songs Timberlake could have released after a 6 year hiatus... this ain't bad.

[ods..]

I dig it.

This cannot be said enough.

You're on a roll. Completely agree.

im not giving up on him or anything. i was just expecting something different, i'm just not sure what it was i was expecting.

[ausfor2013]

Surely this makes him a Coachella lock. Given how rock and classic the lineup is shaping up to, surely JT will be the pop headliner.

[ayalael87]

I'm glad he isn't following this stupid trend in pop music for everything to be a club banger. I don't think this is the best on the new album, which I think is deliberate. It's like a soft launch, getting a feel for a response. His single closer to the countdown date will be the one. It's a good track though

[gam3g3ni3]

This "single" wouldn't even make the cut on FS/LS

This.

[Miroir Noir]

I really like this new song, except for the tacked on Jay-Z verse.

Prepare the peanut butter dildoes for deployment.

[HumanRobot74x]

why even bother with the Jay-Z verse if hes spitting C-Grade shit? The rest gets better with a few listens.
