Does anyone under 30 at Coachella even know who Duran Duran is?

....


I'm absolutely loving the show that the National is putting on. They have an amazing sound live. Love Fake Empire.

 

[Brobzoid]

dear lord, did Ellie Goulding dress herself for the first time today or something? Looks like an extra from a bad 80s disco music video...

 

[vatstep]

haha, watching Duran Duran now...and I'm over 30. I'm really waiting for The Strokes to take the stage.

I watched some online on Friday and I decided that I would not e able to take it in person. I would not be able to handle the hipster overload. Look, I'm old. I admit it. I couldn't handle it. It's not that it's wrong, it's that I couldn't handle it, lol.

I've been to a couple of outdoor music festivals (when I was much younger) and for me, they're the absolute worst way to take in live music. I'd never pay exorbitant prices to see bands I liked (even a bunch of them all together) at a festival because I know I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself. Coachella is a bit of a different beast, though, so I can see why it attracts people for reasons other than just the music.

Did I miss Kanye..

In 2 hours 30 minutes is when he should be on, are you a big enough fan to stay up long enough for the show!?

Well I'm on the west coast...so yes, yes I am

 

[dubc35]

I hear that, definitely other reasons to attend. I'm not saying I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself but I would much rather, if I could, see the band I was wanting to see in an >21 venue.

[edit] SOB! That should have been an edit, my apologies for a double post.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! JUSTIN VERNON!

 

[vatstep]

Terrible Love is 10x better live than on the record.

Kanye confirmed

oh god i cant wait

 

[Wads]

I assumed he was the TBA @ 10:30.

Wait, really no encore for the national?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Man, I don't know any bit of french, but that group Yelle from last night left an impression on me. They are having a performance here in NYC at the end of the month. I'm thinking of going but I don't understand a word they are saying!

 

[Broseybrose]

The National just made a fan out of me. Ive never heard of them before. The drums were way too low in the mix. These sound people need fresh ears after a weekend of music i bet!

 

[TangMeng]

Chromeo now starting. Don't know which channel to watch!

Edit: nevermind Chromeo making it easy to choose lol

Go to the show, their music is great. I don't understand any of it but I still love listening to their music.

I might be going to that show too!

 

[theshizzle]

You'd be surprised at Je veux te voir. Such a catchy song, too.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Strokes
My Waifu Julian :3

 

[SUPARSTARX]

A lot of their songs are super catchy. I just ordered Safari Disco Club CD off Amazon. lol

 

[TangMeng]

It's a talkbox. It makes those rad noises

 

[GG-Duo]

Caught the tail end of Ratatat's set. Surprised at how animated they were. Wow.

 

[AcridMeat]

The head-banging turned me off. :X I like Ratatat though.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I gotta imagine they broke some kind of record for people with wayfarer shades this weekend.

 

[vatstep]

New York City Cops? Damn, I completely forgot about this song.

 

[Eric WK]

New York City Cops? Damn, I completely forgot about this song.

Easily my favorite Strokes deep cut.

[vatstep]

Yes I asked in both threads.

10:30 PST, or around there.

 

[big ander]

Foster the People were fucking king.

Felt like watching GoT and the killing instead of Strokes, and I passed on national because I'm seeing them Friday anyway. Will catch Kanye.

 

[Your Excellency]

Watching in the UK. It's 5:40am here. I was up til 5 anyway finishing off my dissertation and figure I'll stay up for Strokes and Kanye

 

[GG-Duo]

why are the strokes in black and white?

 

[Silh]

Oh man, Juicebox. Reminds me so much of freshman year.

 

[the_log_ride]

dunno if this has been answered, but are any of these performances going to be archived anywhere?

 

[cacophony]

the strokes..

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[bluestuff]

dunno if this has been answered, but are any of these performances going to be archived anywhere?

they are slowing putting up all(most?) of the acts up on the youtube coachella page it seems like.

 

[the_log_ride]

Thanks, blue! Sweet! Missed most of the acts this weekend... guess I'll finish off with some Strokes and Yeezy

 

[overcast]

The Strokes are pretty awesome live. Especially the old material. Take it or leave it is awesome for example. FUCK YEAH KANYE at 10 30!!

 

[GG-Duo]

OK, I really didn't enjoy The Strokes. The songs sound all samey and Julian is rather unlikeable. I have a few of their albums, but never saw them live.

 

[Helmholtz]

Strokes played amazingly. Wow.

 

[jediyoshi]

Mmm, super awkward interviews. Bring it, West.

 

[overcast]

Ye will come out with All of the Lights interlude, then go to all of the lights. Calling it.

 

[TangMeng]

I'm hoping Pusha T shows up for runaway

 

[TekkenMaster]

Which of the 3 channels will Kanye be on?

 

[overcast]

channel 1

I'm expecting channel crashes. Lots of people will be watching.

thanks....I got home just in time for Yeezy. Should be epic.

 

[Kusagari]

Bring on Yeezy.

 

[overcast]

Done with these interviews.

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm hoping Pusha T shows up for runaway

Please, I don't want to see Runaway performed for the fucking millionth time. Any other song off of the album please So Appalled + AOTL please.

We'll get plenty of songs off the album i'm sure. It should be a long performance.

 

[Swag]

Sad part about performing songs from MBDTF is that there are so many features that not having them perform their versus is a little disappointing. Kanye performing Pusha T verse on Runaway, No Thanks.
