Fuck homework, Rumor threads only. Also glad I'm not the only semi young one here ayyy Last time the majority of my friends made it to the festival was 2014. We were in line getting a stupidly expensive cocktail at the jack daniels thing and my wife was chatting to the girl that was in line next to her. The girl literally said "it's so cool that people your age still come to things like this" HAHA! That was 4 YEARS ago. Shiiiiiit. Dude, I'm going to turn 40 before this year's festival. Every year I feel more and more like that weird old guy that still comes to the shows and gets waaaaaay too into it.

At least I'm posting now. When i first joined, I was a high school senior looking at rumor threads instead of doing my graphics homework. Wow. I've come a long way.... Kind of. They grow up so fast.

Bon Iver, and The National are both pretty weak headliners and Modest Mouse is a brutal headliner. That being said the trio is better and more unique than most of the garbage out there this year. 5/10 David Byrne, Tyler, Ray LaMontagne are good to great subheadliners. 7.5/10 The undercard has some really good gets as well Spoon, Grizzly Bear, Tv on the Radio, Vince, Paak, Thundercat, Whitney and Pond etc. 8/10 Where it really falls flat is Lemaitre, Jai Wolf, What So Not, Oliver, and Barclay Cresnshaw as the electronic music? Thats absolute garbage. 1/10 pity vote for Barlcay Not a huge hip hop guy but from what I can tell after Tyler and Vince theres nothing really there. Someone else can rate that Bottom 3 or 4 lines are just filler like any other lineup theres some good and some meh.. 6/10 Thanks for the input, dickcheese.

It makes you feel either vulnerable or erotic ya know? I am going to make a hat that says Lurkers Are Sexy or Save a Troll Ride A Lurker or something weird. Vulnerably erect. Like that one group in 2014 who was really stoked about the Jeff Goldblum cardboard cutout and kept chanting "Jeffsquatch! Jeffsquatch!" and I had never seen any of them before in my life. Little did anyone know that 2018 would literally become Jeffsquatch Rosensquatch.

Out of curiosity, which Tyler record was it that you sold back? Goblin Ah, really early Tyler when he was still in his "I'm just going to say horribly offensive things just to see the look on people faces" phase. It's a shame he chose to define himself on shock value early on because he really is a talented rapper.

Went through those tiny desk concerts y'all were mentioning pages ago. Never seen any of those before. I was shocked with Tyler's. He is one of the few artists that I have actually sold their vinyl back to the store because I hated it. ( Camp from Childish Gambino and Fucked Up records are the others that come to mind). The most recent Gambino record completely floored me. I loved it. Despite my feelings on Camp, I would be thrilled if he was on the lineup. I have a feeling I would feel similarly about Tyler based on how you guys talk about the newest one and that tiny desk concert. Out of curiosity, which Tyler record was it that you sold back?

Other banana has 74 posts but has been here 3 years longer so I guess now I am Bruce Banana tribe heyyyy. Also I should really step up my post game - thats a fairly embarrasing number seeing as I've been a member since 2012. Oy. Sorry for lurking on ya'll so hard. I've literally read every single one of these 290 pages and my contribution is 74 posts. Now 75. At least you read the thread. That's the important part. Just don't show up on page 291 asking if we think The Killers will be playing.

So I was bored and I have no life (or was I bored because I have no life?), so I dug through the lineups we got crossover counts to see how they stack up with the lineup leak. Here's what I found (actual#/reoprted#):
Primavera (11/10): Wolf Parade Vince Staples Jlin (Sandy) Alex G Rostam Alex Lahey The National Tyler, the Creator Thundercat Grizzly Bear Slowdive
Coachella (13/15): Vince Staples Perfume Genius Tank and the Bangas Benjamin Clementine Tyler, the Creator David Byrne Tash Sultana Snakehips Big Thief Petit Biscuit Noname Barclay Crenshaw Japanese Breakfast
Boston Calling (9/11): The National Tyler, the Creator Thundercat Julien Baker Perfume Genius (Sandy) Alex G Big Thief Noname Pond
Bonnaroo (10/9): Bon Iver Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals Tash Sultana What So Not Thundercat Snakehips Tyler Childers Japanese Breakfast Alex Lahey Pond
Hangout (3/6): Tash Sultana Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals Noname
Bottlerock (3/5): Shaky Graves Alex Lahey Dhani Harrison
Governor's Ball (3/4): Japandroids Tash Sultana Pond
In Bloom (3/4): Explosions in the Sky Grizzly Bear Dhani Harrison
Shaky Knees (2/4): David Byrne Japandroids
Lightning In A Bottle (3/3): Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals Tune-Yards Tokimonsta
Okeechobee (3/3): Jai Wolf Hippo Campus Too Many Zooz
Panorama (2/3): Japanese Breakfast David Byrne
Firefly (2/2): Lizzo Alex Lahey
Grizzly Fest (0/0): (Control group)
It may or may not be worth nothing that a significant number of the fests where the count came out one or two short feature St Vincent. All told, everything came out pretty close. Within the margin of error given that lineups change and our leak might not be complete.

Exactly. Making up a fake lineup and "leaking" it on a message board is a hell of a lot easier than making up a fake lineup, then coding it to look like a 107.7 blog post, then hacking into the actual 107.7 website to post it long enough to have Google cache a copy then taking it back down. And there's no way 107.7 or "Brandon" would go through the trouble of doing all that with a fake lineup. By the way, this is what I meant by post the other night about Pea not being "smart enough" to do it. I didn't mean he wasn't smart, just that this would be a lot of work and would take a lot of technical know-how to get it done. Pea is a smart guy and a world class troll, but I don't think he would go through all of that just to troll us. I'm sorry if my post came off as insulting or demeaning. That was not my intent. Love you, Pea.

Have you ever noticed that local media often put out their posts about the festival lineup within minutes of the festival announcement? Is it too hard to believe that they are given a little advanced notice so they can get their article (blog post, whatever) prepared ahead of time. Not to mention the fact that several sources close to the festival have confirmed that this is real. I know we all got burned pretty hard last year, but this is different. From what I know of advertisement, your big areas to market are radio and online (duh). Their adverts via 107.7 are easily paid for by this point and the contracts are drawn. Maybe some banner or whatever ads on the site and value added in the form of this press release because it’ll prove lucrative for the site. Brandon here is human, he didnt accidentally tell an entire island a false nuke was coming, but he did goof. Plus we aren’t getting this from some random internet guy, well kind of, but rather a legitimate business that has a lot to lose in integrity by giving out a completely false lineup. Exactly.

I just now noticed that banana and Bruce bananer are not the same person. Literally thought they were the same user that just changed names. MindBlown.gif

Where is the war on drugs? It died in the 90s. Jeff Sessions is trying to bring it back, but he's facing strong public disapproval for it.

but why would a radio station get the lineup ahead of time just for a press release..any one of us can write a press release minutes after the lineup gets announced its not like the article got into detail of who's playing. there was just a little intro and then said lineup inb4 we're all getting trolled Have you ever noticed that local media often put out their posts about the festival lineup within minutes of the festival announcement?

If there's one thing I know about guys named Brandon, it's that they will fuck up your blog. Also they hate being called Brendan, but I think we covered that awhile back. Actually that was that Brendons hate being called Brandon. Brandons take it as a compliment to be called Brendon.
