Fake Coachella 2006 Revised Fake Line-up Fake

By Victor - Sunday January 22nd 2006

Fake #3 The guy that’s making these is fast becoming a hero of mine. His dogged devotion to pointless speculation and uncompensated graphics work in the name of “pure fun” is admirable. I particularly envy that lack of personal inner censor that says things like “Why the fuck am I am doing this?” or “What do I get out of this? or, simply, “Who cares?”

So for v. 3.0, he’s slapped on a disclaimer watermark and corrected the typos in previous version. There is some reshuffling in the smaller font acts. At the top, the most notable re-pixeling is the removal of both Portishead and Gorillaz and the addition of the rumored My Bloody Valentine reunion. Maybe he’s heard something.

Would this bill get you to fork out 175 clams, drive 4 hours, hang in 100 degree heat and sleep in your car or a $400 Motel 6 box?

UPDATE 02/01/06: The real thing is here.

What now?

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell we will see Portishead at Coachella, or anywhere, this year. But that’s still higher than the odds for Massive Attack or Gorillaz or My Bloody Valentine. Isn’t it strange how nobody from Goldenvoice or affiliated with Smashing Pumpkins is confirming or denying the rumor that’s now being published as fact?

I just hope the second headliner isn’t Oasis…

If Metric, Sufjan Stevens, Sigur Ros, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren’t there, I’m going to be severely disappointed.

I’ve never been. I have a serious phobia of portapoties.

If this is true which band would be knocked down from their main billing–DM or Pumpkins?

They must be headlining both nights.

Portishead is working on an album this year. Maybe they’ll play, maybe they won’t.

I never go for the headliners anyway… it’s not hard to figure out the “smaller” bands that have a chance to attend…
I just REALLY hope -She Wants Revenge- doesn’t play… GGEEZZZ!

Yeah, the new one has less typos. He fixed Lightning Bolt, but sorry its Steve Malkmus & the Jicks not Jinks
