In case you hadn't heard:



Anyone planning on going?

Posted this last night in the DM thread. A film is a new twist that I hadn't heard about.

For an interview on how this whole thing leaked from the KROQ thingy see post: http://www.obner.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=14529

marco and I will likely make it 3 in a row...
I hope Arcade Fire returns, it was the highlight of the last two years (although wilco and bloc party didn't suck either)

how many years has coachella been on? it's been 3-4, right? is there really enough history to warrant a film?

Seven years.

it hasn't been seven years- 6 i presume. first one was in 1999 (when tool & rage played, and it was only one day). they skipped 2000 and came back as a 2 day fest in 2001.

and of course i'm going to coachella. we already reserved our hotel rooms.

do they just use the same people every year? It seems like there's a pretty perennial lineup.

not necessarily... but the past couple of years, the quality of the electronica lineup has went down which is disappointing.

Hey, who needs facts when you've got reasonable speculation...

Rumored:
The Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, 65 Days Of Static, Lightning Bolt, Ladytron, Super Furry Animals, The White Stripes, Sigur Ros, Death Cab For Cutie, De La Soul, Elbow, TV On The Radio, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Explosions In The Sky, Doves, Massive Attack and Devendra Banhart

so where is the cool place to stay?
i have resevered a room where we stayed last year (best western) which was fine.

I propose someone bring back the gila monster jamboree...only on my roof.

indian palm resort, it's less than a mile from venue. and you can walk. that's where we're staying next year and haved stayed the past 2 yrs.

Confirmed acts so far are:

Depeche Mode
Giant Drag
The Duke Spirit
Imogen Heap

I booked a room & forgot where it is

Here's the lineup that I've seen floating around the web. It's probably just pure speculation, but for what it's worth as a discussion topic, here ya go:

And two other bands which have either been rumored with no specific day attached:

Animal Collective, My Bloody Valentine

i just found out my uncle moved to indio. i might have to look into going this year.

So is there another thread for who's going to Coachella? I might actually be able to go this year!

i went last year, no wait that was two years ago already. whoa. there just haven't been as great of bands scheduled these last two years. plus the heat, the heat was vicious.

i do have tix to lollapaplooza though. $45 and in my own backyard. i bet some of the folks rumored for coachella will be at lolla too.

HELL YES!!!!!

people who are going:
tania (not sure who she's going with)
myself (and my crew- about 10 of us are staying in 2 rooms)
dalen (and his FL crew)
damen

we're all staying at the indian palms resort... and i could've sworn someone else mentioned they got a room there as well.

not sure if saint or any of the other angelinos are going... kyle? ironandbeer? thrillhouse?

I went to Coachella 2005. I'd like to go again. Don't really have the funds. I think I'll just drive to Austin for ACL this year instead.

So is Indian Palms Resort booked up, y'think? I'll have to check.

by this time, yes. it doesn't hurt to try however. to be frankly honest, by this point, you'll be lucky to find anything 5-10 miles from the venue... hotels book FAST.

Though I wouldn't mind doing so, I think I once estimated that going to Coachella costs about a bajillion dollars... Even more than the bajillion that I just spent on moving...

We'll see how the tax return shapes up before giving a definite answer.

neuro and I are going. it's going to be ridiculously expensive but oh well.
