Anyone going to this?

I really, really wanted to go but due to the cost of hotels, flying, tickets and everything else, my plans fell through. Still got a back up plan so all isn't lost.

-AC

Costs WAY too much, and is the weekend before finals. Might go to SXSW

Price is a ***** man. This year it is probably gonna rule also.

Coachella is a life goal of mine.

-AC

$152...I can't afford that on top of hotels and food.

I'd have to pay for a plane flight also. Sucks.

Always seems like the ultimate music festival.

-AC

Oh yeah, I was just gonna drive the 1000 miles out there if I could. Though it all depends on who's playing.

Who's playing there?

Coachella?
Am I THAT out of touch?

Tool have played before, NIN allegedly this year. Being that NIN, Weezer, Audioslave and Tool all have albums out I would say it's possible one of them will play. Or one of the other heavyweights putting out an album. That's just headlining.

-AC

Would Slipknot be there, they released an album this year?

Possibly. Who knows? I'd definately say it's possible.

Tickets are on sale but for some reason there's no Line Up.

-AC

When is it?

April 31st-May 1st.

-AC

Where is it?

Coachella, CA.

Last year, The Pixies, Radiohead, Beck and The Flaming Lips performed (among others).

Weezer actually might perform, they will finish the album soon (the first single comes out in march). I don't think Slipknot will play, they haven't had that sort of music in the past. Beck might perform again, QOTSA has a new album...But i think some of the other artists won't be far enough along in their recording to play, unless they just play old stuff.

Though it would be awesome if THe Postal Service played (won't happen).

"Weezer actually might perform, they will finish the album soon (the first single comes out in march). I don't think Slipknot will play, they haven't had that sort of music in the past.

This doesn't make me feel any better about missing Coachella 05 .

Watch, I'll bet that the line-up is gonna be some ultra legendary best ever. My back-up plan to go there will fall through and everyone will be like "Oh man, best Coachella ever."

-AC

I think last year's will be hard to top. I mean, the return of The Pixies?

Oh, and here's the rumored partial line up that's been floating around the internet:

April 30
David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay, PJ Harvey, Interpol, The Faint, Franz Ferdinand, Polyphonic Spree, Boards of Canada, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Squarepusher, Clinic, French Kicks, Secret Machines, Phoenix, Beep Beep, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, Death From Above 1979, and The Helio Sequence

May 1
R.E.M., Tears For Fears, Wilco, Bright Eyes, Jimmy Eat World, Mos Def, Badly Drawn Boy, The Streets, Cake, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, Rilo Kiley, Radio 4, Doves, Iron and Wine, The Arcade Fire, and Moving Units

Bowie, NIN, PJ Harvey and The Faint are the only people I would wanna see and seeing as I'm seeing NIN live in March anyway, wouldn't be much point. If that's the line up, not too bothered.

Second day.....Jimmy Eat World, Mos Def and maybe Arcade Fire.

-AC

1st day...Bowie, Interpol, Franz Ferdiand, Polyphonic Spree, Dog Die in Hot Cars

2nd day: Mos Def, The Streets, Cake, THe Shins, Rilo Kiley, Iron and Wine


Damnit I wish i had money. But this probably won't look anything like the real lineup.

"Damnit I wish i had money. But this probably won't look anything like the real lineup."

Iron and Wine I would check out, never really had an opportunity. I really REALLY love The Faint though. At first listen you'd think you'd get bored of their music, but you just don't.

I've been addicted to the song "Your Retro Career Melted" since September. Shame I missed their gigs here.

Out of all those, Saul Williams and DFA1979 are the only ones I'm interested in.

Not a mad fan of DFA, just like the odd song. Saul, I would be interested in seeing.

-AC

Nah there's quite a lot of good acts in there. I'd like to see Stephen Malkmus especially.

loserib, some of us have an open mind on music and actually listen to more than one genre.

Buck 65, Against Me!, The Go! Team, Kings of Convenience and Nada Surf are awesome - then you add in Elvis Costello, Stephen Malkmus and Spoon, that is an awesome show. And those aren't even half the bands that will be playing. Perhaps The Pixies will play again.

Can't say I'm upset that I'm missing it.

Weezer and Fantomas, but they'll be touring anyway and I'm already seeing NIN.

-AC

There are going to be more bands added, I've heard.

Cool.

I don't see em adding any large bands though. I doubt Audioslave or Tool etc will be playing there now. Given the bands chosen.

-AC

There are about 10-15 bands/artists that I really want to see...Last year Beck played unannounced. Hopefully he'll do it again.

You gonna make it to Coachella, EB?

Bit of a random set this year though. Patchy don't you think?

-AC

I don't have enough money to go. Day 1 looks really good despite Coldplay headlining. Day 2, the only bands I'd want to see are Gang of Four, Bright Eyes, Aesop Rock and Sloan. But Day 1 has a lot of really good bands.

I'd love to see all of those, especially Coteau Twins & Mercury Rev.

and some poeple just dont like shitty music

Oh, don't feel bad, one day you'll join us in the land of good musical taste.

god man i hope not lol
out of all the bands on that list i would watch NiN and prodigy but that would be about it but hey to who ever is going have fun

I could easily afford to go to this concert, but I'd rather not.

There's a better concert going on in April.

Jimmy Buffett.

oh man i was planning to go to this just to see NIN play . but instead im gonna see them on the 6th and 7th in chicago .. i never been there before lol . me and my cousin are gonna go there .

YOU'RE SEEING NIN IN CHICAGO THIS WEEKEND?!

Bastard, I couldn't get tickets for those shows!!!

D'you actually live near Chicago? I'm like 10 minutes away from it, heh.

i actually live in minneapolis

. on a lil side note , NIN played cochella an hour ago

cry

Minneapolis is not that far, I'll be driving through there this summer I think.

I wanted to go to Coachella but sadly, too far away and not enough money

i have enough money , but i didnt want to take a plane .. but i invested all my money to other things .. like other concerts

*sniff* No NIN shows for me...

On another little side note, I have the desktop in your sig Lana

I used the wallpapers to make my sig

No NIN shows for me either.......sadly......cry

2 days till With Teeth

on yet another side note . all 3 of us have a NIN avy

on ANOTHER side note , this thread warped itself into a NIN thread .

I think that on my way to school Tuesday I will stop and pick up With Teeth

We rock

i think im gonna not go to school tuesday and walk to Best Buy and buy every little version of With Teeth lol ( i already heard the CD though )

I've heard it already too, thanks to myspace....

I can't ditch school though, I've got finals in 2 weeks.

Wewt

Does anyone think it's unreasonable that I spent almost 50 bucks on a With Teeth preorder that included the album on Dualdisc, a t-shirt, and shipping the day of release? shock

ive heard it from Bit Torrent ..

uhhh i forgot what i was about to say

Nah I'd do the same if I had $50 to spend

either way id do it

I'm so excited

I didn't preorder because I'm super-broke

Shipping was included, in fact, I think it was a good portion of the total amount--getting it on the 3rd y'see.

im gonna order a halo 18 , cause i have 1-17 already .. need to finish the collection

Man I need money so I can get all the stuff I want....going to England totally emptied out what I had saved up. Worth it, though.

Can't wait to get that CD, though.....

Yeah, well, do you have Halo 1-17... ON VINYL?!?!?

... I dont. The only NIN vinyl I have is Halo 16

We're such corporate music whores

Don't get your hopes up.

I'll say that much.

-AC

Hehe Nivek, were you in the MSN convo when we were talking about what would happen if you got caught downloading RATM music?

Originally posted by Darth Revan

Well, the only songs that I really like off it are You Know What You Are?, Sunspots and Every Day Is Exactly the Same. Beside You In Time is growing on me but besides that, they're just so so to below average. In relation to what he's capable of.

It's worth owning, I mean it doesn't SUCK. It's just absolutely nowhere near what Trent could be capable of, IE: The Fragile. Now I wasn't expecting another album like that, it just isn't what he can be.

The song called Only is one of the worst songs Trent has ever produced.

I've never been overly impressed with Trent's lyrics besides some of The Fragile's songs, but here (besides maybe one or two songs) the lyrics are just awful. Luckily I don't focus on that though.

I'd give it 6 or 7 out of 10. It just seems like Trent is struggling and it seems too forced.

good , im not the only one who thinks this song is crap

It's utter shit.

It's like Down In It, but much worse.

-AC

i dont mind Down In It , half the songs on With Teeth seem like fillers instead of actual masterpieces that Trent is capable of

Just curious, you said "Only" was one of the worst songs he's ever produced... Which would you call the worst?

I agree.

They're not bad songs, but it reminds me of what Trent said about Tapeworm. It was ok when it should have/could have been great.

That's the perfect description of With Teeth. I'm not crucifying Trent, I'm not even saying the album sucks, I just think it's average to slightly above average. It could have been so much better.

I think Only might take that title. I dunno, I was never a fan of Down In It. Trent has one of those voices that can make or break the flow of a song, so when he does that sort of half singing half spoken word thing, it ruins songs. It ruined Down In It and it ruined Only.

i was expecting so much more after 6 years .

You can't equate time with delivery though. You're only dooming things.

The time between The Fragile and With Teeth could be 6 months or 6 years, it doesn't mean anything. Most of those years were him almost dying from bodily abuse. A little fairness maybe.

-AC

Massively underwhelmed.

As soon as he stated that he was going to be departing from The Fragile style, I was fearing the worst. It isn't a disaster, it's OK.

Wasn't expecting miracles because bar The Fragile, I haven't ever rated the band up there with the very best.

the official line-up has been released for '06.

Looks like Depeche Mode and Tool are the headliners this year.

The ONLY reason I found that exciting was because it means the wheels are in motion for Tool.

I don't wanna see them for the first time since 02 in a boiling hot desert surrounded by indie kids who probably showed up for Franz Ferdinand. Furthermore, it's a festival, the probably won't play many songs at all and some of them will undoubtedly be from the new album. Surely those seeing Tool for the first time would want older songs, not necessarily newer and I personally want to hear the new album before I see them again. Although I would go if tickets to a solo London show came up.

Massively shit line-up. Tool are by far the best there, there are a few other noteworthy acts but besides that it's horrid.

-AC

Tool, Depeche Mode, and Sigur Ros are the only ones on the lineup that are worthwhile, that I've seen.

What I really found moronic are all the people on Coachella's site (AC showed me yesterday with the lineup) complaining about how they're not excited about the headliners and that they've got mediocre headliners but rather they're excited about ****ing Franz Ferdinand

Yeah, as much as I'd like to see Tool, I'll wait for them to tour.

I don't know how the hell Coachella went from 04's mega line-up of The Cure, Radiohead, Pixies, Kraftwerk and others, to some shit like this.

-AC

There are a few bands i would go for (Tool, Depeche Mode, Sigur Ros, Atmosphere, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Paul Oakenfold)

overall its not that great of a line-up.

Ah, the old Coachella line-ups...actually wait, I'm in England. Who gives a f*ck.

Not really relevant to my life.
