Red Baron Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Its not the best. I mean Day 1 is a complete write-off for me.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Seriously? Jack Johnson headlining? Roger Waters? Normally I get jealous of west coast kids every year around Coachella time, but I'm not sweating this one.
Red Baron Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Ya it would be when Roger Waters was one of your acts.
snuffbox Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 That, and promoting three separate three-day festivals this year.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 http://www.coachella.com I really like this lineup. Jeez, only five bands I'd be willing to pay to see; one of which I've seen a few times already and the other I'm seeing in a couple of weeks. Coachella rarely interests me, but this is lamer than usual.
godthedog Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Some exceptions: Ben Folds' "Bitches Ain't Shit" cover... it's so absurd it's almost Weird Al-esque... Â i really like this cover. he clearly worked hard on it. the g-funk synthesizer really clinches it for me. Â
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 I'm aware it's been discussed fairly recently, but Bryan Ferry's 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall' is fucking tits as well. Why aren't there more people here who realize this.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Coachella does indeed look like a shit factory. I might have rounded up a few to go over there this year as well. Bleh.
snuffbox Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 This is the lineup for Paid Dues in San Bernadino, Mar22. Californians are lucky people. Â Sage Francis, Little Brother, Dilated Peoples, Jedi Mind Tricks, POS, Mac Lethal, Kool Keith, Heiroglyphics, Living Legends, Murs, Visionairies, A Team, Fatlip & Omni, Isaiah, Yak Ballz, B Dolan. Â Man, only $35.
Rob Anybody Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Eric Clapton & JJ Cale - Road to Escondido You guys should really listen to that. Masterful guitar. Nothing flashy, nothing innovative, just two old men who've been playing the instrument most of their lives giving it their best.  I mean, Clapton, I like his real early Cream stuff... fuck that sad period when he was singing about his father and his dead son. JJ Cale was always totally good. Not as well known, unfortunately.  At the very least listen to the song "Danger". Man, that is so guitar.  Excellent album. I get 'Last Will and Testament' stuck in my head intermittently. And the languid guitar on 'Hard to Thrill' has always been a favourite of mine.
Matt Young Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Dilated Peoples, Jedi Mind Tricks,Kool Keith  Only ones I have heard of. may check out the rest since San Bernardino is a 15 minute drive.

Nighthawk Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Meh, Kool Keith is worth $35 on his own.
Gary Floyd Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Finally, the reunion nobody looked forward to.
King Kamala Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Finally, the reunion nobody looked forward to. Â Â BUT WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO VELVET REVOLVER? Â Â And with them, Smashing Pumpkins, RATM, and Alice in Chains all reuniting with in the past year or two, I have to wonder which 90s band will reunite next. My money's on Soundgarden. Does Chris Cornell (or the other guys for that matter) have anything better to do?
Red Baron Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 STP reuniting is awesome. Hopefully try to catch them this year if they tour if tickets dont sell out or Weiland gets busted for drugs. Â Â What's next? Jane's Addiction? Â Â
Nighthawk Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Even though it would be kind of pointless... now that Twiggy is back, the kid in me would enjoy a classic era Marilyn Manson reunion. That being: Marilyn, Twiggy, Pogo, Ginger and Daisy. Â Soundgarden's actually a really good bet, though.

Concur. I don't think I could handle that much indie rap/boring rhythmless guys/white guys with big beards at once. Most of those guys are the epitome of an "I'm the unique opener for someone much better" artist on my scale.
King Kamala Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Well Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers "retirement" lasted about one summer cause they're going back on the road for a huge tour this summer with Steve Winwood as opener. I'm going to try my damndest to see The Boston show cause Petty's been near the top of my "To See" list for a long, long time. Â Dates
Kinetic Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 And with them, Smashing Pumpkins, RATM, and Alice in Chains all reuniting with in the past year or two, I have to wonder which 90s band will reunite next. Â Nirvana.
King Kamala Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Hey if Alice In Chains reunited without Layne Staley and if The Smashing Pumpkins reunited with no original members except Corgan and the drummer then Nirvana wouldn't be out of the realm. Â Of course with the Foo Fighters being so successful, Grohl probably wouldn't join but they could have Krist Novoselic, one of the guys who drummed before Grohl joined the band, Pat Smear, and the guy from Fuel on vocals!
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Â Why would anybody ever pay to listen to this guy rap?
snuffbox Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Ignore Sage Francis. His ego will insist he go on last anyway. Kool Keith, Jedi Mind Tricks, Mac Lethal, POS, Dilated Peoples, Living Legends, and Murs make that lineup well worth $35.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Mac Lethal and Jedi Mind Tricks are both really awful, snuffbox.
snuffbox Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Bad album reviews at pitchforkmedia.com?
King Kamala Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Oh boy another snuffbox Vs hipster showdown. I can't begin to tell you how (not) excited I am to witness this.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 That sandwich looks delicious.
