COACHELLA SALVATION!! UPON

Anonymous said...

They should add the Chemical Brothers on Saturday to play after the Killers. The Killers can still technically be the headliner but with the Chems closing out that night like Tiesto did with the Peppers a couple years ago. That would solve many, many, many problems. Plus I could use some Private Psychedelic Reel closing out my Saturday night.

Anonymous said...

nah... i hope the chemical will close sunday or friday.

Saturday is Dead, that wil save a lot of people a couple of bucks... not going on saturday.

If saturday wants more people they need a reunion... like faith no more, janes addiction...

That would be fantastic, Martin. It would also be fantastic if the sky started raining gold coins.

Not that imposible...

The Stone Roses (did announce a return a couple of months ago)
Chemical brothers (are playing, but dj set)
Shpongle is touring the US, on those dates.
Faith No More ....is touring europe.
Puscifer... would played Vegas, Los Angeles, before coachella.

Amy Winehouse canceled , oh well , i wasnt interested in seeing her anyways . Now , we need that replacement for her spot , i hope its someone good .

Anonymous said...

I could see MAYBE the Stone Roses and the Chemical Brothers from Martin's list...the rest is white hype.

I wasn't stealing jokes... that was just an homage to some previous classic Coachella jokes. Just payin' respect where respect's due. Gotta acknowledge your influences.

@ANYONE:

Anybody heard anything at all about when the days will be assigned to these adds?

I hope the dumb americans that think EDC w/ full cube stage setup is meh and stay away and hop on the bandwagon AFTER coachella or even better yet never, so i have more room to groove in the sahara. Same idiots that were off seeing She Wants Revenge during Daft's set! hahah losers! He will be the guarantee talk of the festival when it's over.

Chemical Bros DJ Set = Nap time in the DoLab

Monklish said...

I think we know that we can now discredit Martin, but what do I know?

Etienne de Crecy is closing out the festival on Sunday.

Chemical Brothers are doing a DJ set as I'd said the other day.

The Orb are playing as I'd hinted.

Devendra was a nice surprise for me.

Plump DJs are indeed the DJ duo.

At least "more to come...", however, if we recall:

No Faith No More
No U2

Anonymous said...

Any speculation on when the Orb will play???

Anonymous said...

For any electronic lover, these additions are FAT.

The Orb live are ridiculous.

Excitement, rightly put.

Hopefully Devendra is on Sunday and Chem Bros replace Winehouse. I feel like Sunday still needs more meat without gristle.

Anonymous said...

their will still prob be one mid-upper level band added to make up for winehouse drop...what would that free up 40-50 grand?

Monklish said...

chems = saturday
edc = sunday
devendra = sunday
murder city devils = sunday
the orb = sunday

Monklish said...

plump djs = sunday

Anonymous said...

Told you Monklish would break that code of silence and claim he/she/it knew all along.

Like I said before, predictable...you twat.

Any other info Monklish? Or shall we just wait until GV announces it and then have your delusional claims of knowing it all along?

For those of you reading this, expect a handful more announcements. Although nothing as grandiose as Prince last year.

Think UK acts.

Monklish said...

What code of silence? The only acts that were added that I didn't mention already were Busy P and Devendra Banhart.

Anonymous said...

anon 619:
are you the same one that keeps saying to think reunion for saturday and think co headliner? now your saying think UK additions? why not just say it outright?

Not done yet...

Exciting add coming up.

It is a band.

Anonymous said...

and the name of the band?

Anonymous said...

Those adds are pretty disappointing. Im sure their live shows are awesome, but there music isn't phenomenal. Plump Djs is the best add out of all of those in my opinion.

Anonymous said...

This blog is fucking useless, Monklist never came out and said here's what happeing: Chems DJ set, the Orb, Etienne, and Devandra. She says she hinted at shit, which is another way of saying I had no fucking clue what was gonna happen but I'll pretend I did.

Seriously, someone just step up to the plate right now and say the name of this last band to be added to take Amy's spot.

Anonymous said...

PAVEMENT please!

Anonymous said...

The Chemical Brothers are taking Amy's spot. So the new band add will be somewhere else.

Anonymous said...

The band is either gonna be Blur or Oasis

Monklish said...

@anon727: The short version of this is "fuck off", so you can feel free to read further, but trust me that the undertone of the entire below text is "hey anon727, fuck off".

First off, a lot of you are absolutely terrible when it comes to compelling argument skills: "Hey fuck you dumb twat, answer the following questions that I desire information about!" "Hey you stupid cunt piece of shit fraud, what about the White Stripes playing, fraud?"

Secondly, about a dozen of you e-mailed me regularly, and based on your kind correspondences, I know at least some of you were decent people via email. As stupid as I am, I left this thing allowing anonymous posting, because I know that it's annoying to register for an account just to post a comment on a blog. However, a bunch you assholes have made me regret that constantly.

Thirdly, when I started this a couple years ago, it was more fun to post little comments on BrooklynVegan about Kraftwerk and Prince and other bands that I were playing. People complained that it was too vague. So this year, I made a blog and posted a list of bands that I was guaranteeing would play. My list was longer and more accurate than any list that any rival site or the message board itself could compile. More than 92% of my bands are currently on the lineup (excluding Lucent Dossier, but we all know the Do Lab will be present). And in spite of as abundantly clear as I made it that I wasn't guaranteeing anything below that list, for every other band that I listed as possibilities or rumors, people constantly got too hopeful or angry at me for daring to make an alphabetical list of bands that I'd heard mentioned as possibilities. Even with my guarantees, people e-mailed me saying "You said that the Chemical Brothers were playing, I was planning to travel from South America, where are they?" as if I was to be held accountable for the final lineup. (time out, fuck off anon727. game on.) So I went back to the non-blunt approach to not make it so critically important to hold me accountable for anything related to the lineup. Some asshole started posting as me on the Coachella board (I suppose to thank me for deleting all his personal information and his boss's telephone number that was posted on this site by whoever in the comments), I left the front page vaguely blank (it was about U2, that fell through/was never true (probably) awhile ago, I commented on that--awhile ago). I would try to answer questions when I could in my comments section, but I wasn't going to say "The Chemical Brothers are playing", though I made it feel painfully obvious that I said that they were. I even made it very clear that it was going to be a DJ-set. If people emailed me and asked "Are the Chemical Brothers playing?" I would say "Yes" or "Sounds like they're still on board".

Lastly, to answer your question, the Chemical Brothers replaced Amy Winehouse. Not technically, but that's how it will look on the poster. There won't be any adds to replace her. There still might be a few additions left, but none will be of the caliber that most of you are desiring. Anon619 is more than likely spouting the rumor of a "UK addition" such as a smaller tier act like The Whip as if it were fact. It's not, yet.

To the one or two people who actually read this, if you're on that message board, please relay to that guy posting as me that I don't appreciate his douchebaggery. Anon727, continue to fuck off.

Also, I'm sorry to a lot of you that wanted Coachella to be personally better for yourselves. It wasn't my doing. I was pulling for a few of you (rene comes to mind) to find out that acts you wanted were on the lineup or additions.

Unknown said...

Monk-

You made the wait for the lineup a lot more fun. I don't know who your sources are, but you were the only person I saw that called MBV & Leonard Cohen. Impressive work. Hope you enjoy the festival and thanks for the hints.

hey monk, thanks for all the info. Chillax though. this is the internetz and DBs will always be afoot.

Anonymous said...

Monklish, that was a sweet tongue lashing...via blog text of course. It is true that everyone wants Coachella to be an awesome line up for themselves...ya can't please everybody though. Anyways, good job. I hope you start this blog on April 21st.

Maxwell said...

Monklish,

First time posting but i lurk here and on the coachella boards.

It seems pretty clear to me that you do have inside information but are not willing to give out that info for fear of exposing your source/sources.

So really i have to ask what the point is? I mean, its nice to hear that there is excitement coming but the animosity comes your way because anybody could write that on a blog and not give out info. You are way to vague, and that vagueness leads many to believe you are a fraud.

Like i said above, i do believe you have inside info but there really is no point in posting your blog unless you give out that information before being posted by coachella in a clearcut manner. not just hinting about it.

thanks for your time, im just not sure why you you want to post a half-assed blog.

Etienne de Crecy is all i needed . The Cube to end another great year at Coachella . Thank You .

Anonymous said...

I, for one, have been happy about the Coachella lineup from the start, I think it by far the strongest I've seen and this is my sixth year going. Coachella is for the mid-level and smaller bands and if you haven't realized that yet, you're not taking it in. Additions at this point usually are a bonus but, for example, if U2 did play (and I like U2) it would have been a downside because the place would be that much more crowded. Part of the fun of Coachella is the rumors and this blog has been a great alternative to the Coachella message board which is chockful of douchebags like anon727. Keep up the good work monklish and enjoy. But if you don't personally secure Pavement, the White Stripes and the Velvet Undergorund next year (for me), your blog and really your whole life is worthless.

Anonymous said...

Monklish, you seem to have a connection to GV so could you please let us know if you know anything about APW? Is Bjork a real possibility?

Anonymous said...

@anon 715
Well stated.
This is my fourth year, and looking back on the headliners I've watched: I saw just Prince in 08, I did watch all 3 in 07, but left the Peppers to catch the last half of LCD soundsystem and the Rapture, then back to Tiesto of course, and a smidge of Depeche Mode in 06...the mid-tier bands this year are insanely talented. Without these stellar additions this year would have been awesome. Thanks again Monklish, if there are other minor additions, do you care anymore to drop any hints?

P.s. It was pretty obvious when you said one will be playing a dj set the other will be playing live

Anonymous said...

Etienne De Crecy will not close off the festival as previously stated.

Still awaiting major band addition whom will probably close festival.

leeartlee said...

The mid-ters are good this year and Coachella is known for that... But Coachella is also known for it's big bands too. Saturday, for all intents and purposes, is missing that. Is this Monk's falut? No. Were some of us looking for some ray of hope in here. Maybe. Will I still have a awesome time? Absolutely!

Anonymous said...

I believe the Killers is the biggest band they could afford to play sat, and I am happy with it. We already have Macca, Morrissey, The Cure, Girl Talk, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, and Theivery Corporation. Lets not get too greedy. Coachella does have a budget you know.

Anonymous said...

Here is Monk's original list everybody:

Simian Mobile Disco
The Prodigy
Franz Ferdinand
Buraka Som Sistema according to "PaulT" from the Goldenvoice blog.
Deerhunter
Social Distortion (doubt it, though)
Evil Nine
Freebass
Mr Oizo
Why?
The Presets
Eminem (doubt it, though)
The Mountain Goats
Lily Allen
Boris
Mogwai
Comedians of Comedy
Los Campesinos

Headliners looking to be:
A repeat
A promotion
Someone new

Who won't be there:
Radiohead
The Talking Heads
Neutral Milk Hotel
REM
Led Zeppelin
Paul McCartney
Pearl Jam
U2
Stone Temple Pilots

I will add and subtract from this as time progresses, when I stand corrected, when I find out that I've misunderstood information, or I've been lied to.

Guess what, most of that list is completely wrong, and yet Monklish will somehow let you believe that she got 92% of her list correct??? Oh you mean the list that you added bands to after they had confirmations via the message board, myspace, and tour dates? Oh that list, the same list that didn't include any bold predictions from yourself. The same list where you never came out and said "hey, the Cure and Macca are the other headliners, and Chem Bros will be there doing a DJ set and etc etc." This whole blog was a fail monk, because you seriously never leaked any information to anyone. You acted like you knew, acted like you needed praise because of this great information you possessed, yet you never gave any of it.

I know people in GV, I go to their offices, I have friends there. They saw your original list and post lists after that, as in they actually logged onto this webpage during work hours, looked over your list and laughed at you, this is 100% fact, because they knew themselves you were full of shit. Believe it or don't but that's what happened and I was there.

So really, thanks for nothing other than let downs and a laugh, you rock!

Wow anon1028. Call out the wambulance. You act like someone MADE you sit through a crappy movie. If you don't like it leave, I don't remember paying admission to check out this blog.
Monklish, you said that the Chems will 'replace' Amy W but on the official poster she is crossed out and the Chems are on the line below which is strange. I remember in 04 when Wilco had to bow out they were just removed, same with the Cocteau Twins and the Specials. To me this means either there is an outside chance she could get her visa and be but back in or they are saving that place for another add. Any insight to this?

Anonymous said...

Just because I think you should better understand this, the "guy posting as Monklish" on the Coachella Boards is in no way trying to impersonate you.

His real name is Randy, and this is his third new board account, and between the 3 accounts he is actually the board's biggest poster. (Somewhere upwards of 20,000 posts). The account name is just a joke, a bit of an inside joke really, and actually has not much to do with you or with this blog. It's his sense of humor to play off a big deal like this in regards to the board, and he still jokingly "impersonates" you to all of the lurkers, but it's all just good-natured kidding, so just don't take it too seriously.

As for all of these scary Anonymous comments, yeah, it's the internet, don't take them too seriously either.

Anonymous said...

I agree, the fact that winehouse is still on the poster with a line through it means they still think she will show, OR they are adding a replacement. Since the killers are retaining their headlining status, it can't be too big a band, but as big as franz.

Anonymous said...

I believe the line through the name is an acknowledgement that she's gone. It brings attention to the fact, as outside of the forum, I don't think many people pay mind to changes in the poster.

leeartlee said...

I think the line is kind of wicked.

Anonymous said...

Winehouse is being replaced completely, there is no possibility she will come back in the lineup. GV has decided she is too much of a liability at this time.

GV is now focused on trying to lock down a replacement band for Winehouse. They are still considering either having The Chemical Brothers or Theivery Corporation play on the Main Stage to open for The Killers as a last resort.

leeartlee said...

My God, a Chemical Bros dj set on the main stage. That would be a very big mistake. Why not pay them a little more and have them do a fucking live set for Christ sakes?

Anonymous said...

Anon @ 1028

You suck. You suck. You suck. Monklish's revised list was much longer and more accurate than that. Was that the very first one she put up? If so, some of those bands' names were probably being thrown around at GV. The fact that you "go to the offices" and witness, "people laugh at her blog" is just malarky. If you really did have any friends you would know not to treat other humans as you just did. I like the point someone made about having to sit through a bad movie...if you know people at GV, I bet they laugh at you behind your back, as we are all doing right now.
