So wait, Ned, what's with the Avalanches getting shit billing? Was it the album or something else? Heard rumors they were booked at p4k fest and flaked or something.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 4 January 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link
They were a mysterious band that went away for 15 years, but now the album came out and they're just another band. "The Return of The Avalanches" would have garnered a more prominent placement than just "The Avalanches"

Eight or so indifferent "reunion" albums in 2/3 years will do that.

Whitney, Honne, King Sunny Ade, Shura, Guided by Voices, Lee Fields in the small section is sad. Then again I don' know who any of these 'headliners' on the first three lines are: Mac Miller, Steve Angello, Big Gigantic, The Head and the Heart, Tory Lanez, Marshmello, Lil Uzi Vert, Kehlani.

token indie rock dude, idk, shitty EDM jam band, corny pop-folk, sing-y rapper, idk, rapper, r&b singer i think?

oh wait i mean token indie rock dude frat rapper turned Stones Throw-ish rapper. i sometimes confuse mac miller and mac demarco.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Wednesday, 4 January 2017 20:40 (seven years ago) link
Mac DeMarco's on the bill too! Same day, same line on the poster even!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 4 January 2017 20:46 (seven years ago) link
Let's hear their top songs on spotify:
Mac Miller - My Favorite PartMall neo-soul. It's not that bad but no idea why so many people vibes to this... sounds inoffensive.
Steve Angello - Show Me LoveEw! What a horrid Robin S EDM remix. Had to skip... fuck whoever listens to this.
Big Gigantic - All of MeJazz-hop with some dubstep thrown in there... this also sounds annoyingly watered down.
The Head and the Heart - All We Ever KnewHahaha you're kidding me. This sounds like the type of songs corny people put on their wedding videos.
Tory Lanez - LUVAh, this is alright. Kind of like the Dancehall Hip Hop sound Mad Decent has been pushing for the past years. 128M listens for this song on Spotify! Whoa guess it was huge in the US.
Marshmello - AloneKind of like the french house/trap that Porter Robinson and Madeon do much better. This also sounds annoying but I guess as a live show with videos and lights it could be interesting.
Lil Uzi Vert - You Was RightThis is nice... I suppose Trap is the US equivalent of Reggaeton down here in latinamerica in terms of popularity? I like it but I'd get bored of a full concert of this style.
Kehlani - GangstaR&B similar to FKA Twigs.

i mean anything w/ that kind of money behind it probably has some shady dudes running it but it's just nice to have an event i object to (for no personal reason other than i find festivals and the summer circuit stupid) be explicitly tied to Horror

He might be anti gay but he is not anti-money. 4 of the headliners are gay (empire of the sun, new order, porter robinson, madeon) and I'd say at least 90% of the lineup is pro-gay.

I watched a bit of the Future Islands set last night. Coachella really is better at home! We're finally at a point where these live streams are reliable & high-quality. Except when the sound goes out at the actual festival.

I watched a bit of Future's set from my couch at home. Am guessing the backing video screen (that one point featured large female butt cheeks) seemed a bit different live there, depending where in the crowd one was situated.
