That picture raises many, many questions beyond it's central fail.

Dammit, Jenn!

[invisiblerobots]

it's central fail.

It is central fail?

[murmur741]

i am more than okay with this! definitely one of the most memorable acts i saw all weekend in '07.

My brain fell out of my head during "All My Friends".

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

that's how it starts....we go back to your house...

[somebodytoldme]

If you don't he'll be there, then I guess you could say the writing is on the wall. His facebook wall that is!

[hobomilitia]

this has to happen. period.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Well, Daft Punk is playing at my house.....

[Foucault]

Love me some bros -- but where's the Natty Ice?

(Oh, and I'm way behind the notion of LCD headlining anything)

Same here... brilliant moment... Yeah was also killer

My brain fell out of my head during "All My Friends".

[karma_guy]

i'd be so incredibly happy if this happend
unless he was playing opposite pavement
oh man that'd be a terrible conflict

[RotationSlimWang]

They still suck shit.

[Devin the Dude]

Hot Chip Sahara Headliner 2010!!!

hahaha..

[digitaldragon03]

I just saw some videos of the guy on youtube and i have no idea how this is Sahara material, much less Sahara headliner material.

[MissingPerson]

I find it very hard to imagine anybody, anywhere, ever writing a song better than All My Friends.

[menikmati]

They still suck shit.
yup

[Casino Logic]

It's a lock.

I figured it a few months ago, but yeah, now the writing is on the wall.

[Undies]

careful....headline is a pretty strong word.

(however, I am totally in support of them coming back, especially if their set is dominated by a 37 minute version of Us v. Them).

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

the world is going to end. I have never seen Erik and Randy agree on anything....its a sign.

[MissingPerson]

They're both wrong though, so it balances out.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I applaud your standing on LCD btw Gemma. Weirdly enough...its all I've been listening to lately...it terrible when you're at work and you break out into a mad version of Watch The Tapes.

this is a no brainer.

[MissingPerson]

Since the word about the next album, but for a brief Land of Talk interval, I've listened to nothing but Sound of Silver over and over.

We had an awesome real life work-montage moment in the shop earlier on to Tribulations. I'd have appreciated it much more if I wasn't working at the time, but it was cool all the same.

I think Amy would hate his voice though.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

US AND THEM....OVER AND OVER AGAIN

[Botrocker]

DFA disco party in the tent!!!

[emtgreg]

that too :)

That would be my jam! And to think they opened for Arcade Fire at UW in 2007 and I missed the show.
For. Shame.

[JebusLives]

I find his ironicity cloying at times, but the man can rock a cowbell like nobody's business.

[nolanisbomb]

Agree

[Brochella]

Yeah I feel like they'll be there.

LCD Soundsystem(Friday)/Basement Jaxx(Saturday)/Orbital(Sunday) seem like pretty safe bets for Sahara headliners.

Though what if GV pulls a wildcard and gives us a night of Hot Chip > LCD Soundsystem > Basement Jaxx? What raucous disco fun that would be!

[weezy f baby]

LCD does rule, but the Sahara tent is usually reserved for massive techno rave beats (cept Late of the Pier. That was an epic FAIL). I see them more as a Mojave headliner than a Sahara headliner.

I'd rather see Aphex Twin or Squarepusher or Orbital or Underworld or The Presets (again) or Boys Noize as potential late nighters in the Sahara.

BTW, Boys Noize has a new album out.

you would rather see Boize Noise over LCD in the Sahara? what the fuck is wrong with you?

Fucking seriously.

I didn't say I'd rather see one over the other. I love LCD. All I said is that they don't have to protypical Sahara sound. They're not a rave act. They're an indie band.

[cormaic]

. . .They've been in the sahara before, and people loved it.

well shit... if they play at the Sahara, I will be totally stoked. So there.

[JSam67]

It really boggles my mind that you don't like this band.

[digitaldragon03]

Id rather see Boys Noize in the Sahara over LCD, anyday.

An indie band? Have you been listening to the same LCD Soundsystem as the rest of us?

The same LCD Soundsystem who make albums full of cosmic disco, acid house, minimal, electro, ambient, kraut rock and everything in between. One of the most progressive acts in all of EDM.

[Grant]

So were The Rapture, who headlined the Sahara in '07.

[Boourns]

LCD >>> the Rapture

[MissingPerson]

Oh Lord, that's all we need. LCD Soundsystem vs. Hot Chip vs. The Rapture...

[Botrocker]

No they just closed it LCD headlined.

This even being an argument is baffling.

THIS


but no, i think LCD would make a good Sahara closer, but i don't see them being a Sahara headliner in 2010..

[Devin the Dude]

you guys are so gay for this band it's retarded. they're good, yes. they are fun, yes. but putting them as a Sahara closer would be so out of bounds inappropriate they might as well have DJ sets on the mainstage too, ala Tiesto (aka weakness). think "where does this band fit?" obviously Sahara at night, but no closer. duh.

[MissingPerson]

Insofar as I understand the words, yes, I am so gay for LCD Soundsystem it's retarded.

Behold the new way of the English language. Behold and bedamned.

you're a retard. you know nothing about the sahara.

[TickleMeElmo]

I really don't see them playing the Sahara next year if they play. I see them playing a late night Outdoor Theatre set.

Sahara closer is no big thing.. it's not Sahara headliner..

Above & Beyond closed the Sahara, LCD may as well..

[cormaic]

I want you all to know I was thinking about you last night when I cleaned the record store I went to out of LCD soundsystem singles.

They had no LCD CDs or full length vinyls, but there were like four singles in their little box of 'em. Made me a happy camper.

[Devin the Dude]

you're a retard. you know nothing about the sahara.

you say it like there's some Sahara Member's Only club. there really isn't. and it's not that hard to figure it in, LCD will not HEADLINE the Sahara Tent. i'll just state this as fact now, and come back to this thread when the lineup is announced, and they're playing the Outdoor Theatre, and i will chuckle a little to myself in remembrance.

First of all, learn the difference between a headliner and a closer.

Second of all, LCD has already headlined the Sahara, you moron.

What the hell is your fucking point? You really are one of the dumber posters on here.

[Devin the Dude]

i think we already discussed this, where the closed the Sahara, did not headline it. nonetheless, i'm standing by my statement: not gonna happen.

Now you're just talking out of your ass. LCD did not close, but they did headline.

Beyond that, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. It seems like you're having an imaginary argument against your alter ego about whether LCD will headline next year and on what stage.

[Devin the Dude]

it's not a question to me. and i'm sorry that my schizophrenia makes such frequent appearances on this board. maybe use the block button if it so deeply bothers you.

So wait, explain why in just over two years they would move them to the outdoor when they had a perfect performance and crowd in the Sahara.

[Devin the Dude]

that was just another potential place for them. sorry if my words came out incorrectly. also, i just don't think they're going to get a repeat spot at the same place. that is all. end of my participation.

[Boourns]

Well hopefully James doesn't pull a Chemical Brothers and bring a dj set:

They did not headline...the rapture did. They were billed right ahead of LCD Soundsystem and closed out the sahara tent. I don't see how one could argue that the Rapture did not headline the Sahara tent when they both had top billing and played last.

That being said I have no problem with LCD Soundsystem in the Sahara tent it was a lot of fun last time, but I could also see them on the outdoor theatre to change it up a bit.

[bobert]

So did Tiesto headline over the Red Hot Chili Peppers then as well? Pointless arguments aside, if LCD plays next year I hope Goldenvoice has enough sense to put them on the main stage. The Sahara would be unbearably crowded if they played there again.

no because RHCP had top billing just like the rapture had top billing in the sahara, but i agree with you about the over crowding in the sahara.

[MissingPerson]

They stiffed us with just a DJ set at Electric Picnic, so I stole the door sign.

We're roundabouts even, by my recknin'.

[BlackSwan]

You be reckin' right.

[MissingPerson]

It was a brief, magical couple of seconds for me when it dawned that they were the guys queuing behind me for the site office.

For just that moment, the course of their immediate future lay in my hands. Their queuing future, but still. Such power! Anyway, anytime LCD Soundsystem play anywhere, I want you all to take a moment and consider that. They're only able to play because I chose to continue queuing like a normal person, rather than doing anything crazy or disabling.

It wasn't an easy choice, either.

How do you figure they stiffed you? When they were billed as Special Disco Versions, not as LCD Soundsystem.

[betao]

If LCD played..

If it was in the Sahara, it'd be really crowded... but the vibe would be better than the mainstage. Its just not as fun watching LCD SS on a stage infront of a big crowd as opposed to the Sahara tent.

LCD was definitely the headliner. I don't care about positioning on the poster. It's not like they were 5 lines apart. They were right next to each other.

[MissingPerson]

On the early posters, they were indeed billed as Special Disco Version. Some of the later stuff I saw had them as "LCD Soundsystem (DJ Set)" or "LCD Soundsystems' James & Pat".

That's neither here nor there though. I don't think they brought the LCD SS name into it at all - I think that was the festival promoters or whoever - and I don't really think they were trying to stiff us. But personally, if Pat and James are at a festival I'm going to, I'd like them to be there in an LCD Soundsystem capacity, myself. Anything else is just a cruel tease.

[Undies]

Agreed...I've seen them on a "mainstage-type set up" at ACL. The vibe was pretty weak until the end when the squares cleared out. We made up for it during the "Yeah Yeah Yeah" closer.

[nbvcide]

kinda curious as to your position on who headlined in '08, Aphex or Fatboy?


EDIT: meaning placement on the poster, set time given.. Aphex is higher on the poster, and played the 'traditional' Sahara headlining slot of not during playing during the main stage headliner..

[redthreat]

fatboy played more of a 'headliner set' - though aphex was amazing. the video, track selection and general mood was perfect. remember when he dropped 'love is in the air?' fatboy knows how to throw a party. aphex knows how to generally astound. very different and very suitable for different time and places, that night, fatboy was placed at the apex (not aphex) of the night very wisely.
