Thanks for the update, Sonick. I don't know what the vast majority of the boardies who aren't going to this festival in California would do without you for the next three months. You are a godsend! :eek:

DESERT SESSIONS - IN THE DESERT!

DESERT SESSIONS, the project put together by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE mainman JOSH HOMME, THE SLEEPY JACKSON, THE STILLS and BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB, will join a reunited PIXIES, THE CURE and RADIOHEAD at CALIFORNIAâ??s COACHELLA FESTIVAL this May.

Bright Eyes, The Thrills, Moving Units, Turbonegro, Junior Senior, LCD Soundsystem, Wilco and Dizzee Rascal will also perform over the two day long event running May 1-2 at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California.

Promoters have been working on putting the fifth instalment of Coachella, for almost a full year but according to partner Paul Tollett, getting Pixies on the bill had been on his personal wish-list for years.

"I canâ??t put it all on me," Tollett said of the bandâ??s upcoming reunion. "I wish I could take the credit. Mark Geiger [co-founder of Lollapalooza] . . . he called one day and said, â??Donâ??t tell a soul, but do you think youâ??d be interested in Pixies?â?? Iâ??m like â??Yeah!â?? He said, â??What about the first play of Pixies?â?? Iâ??m like, â??Even better!â?? When youâ??re a festival promoter you dream of moments like that."

Pixies are scheduled to play just before headliners Radiohead on night one of the event. Following Radiohead, German, experimental stalwarts Kraftwerk will perform on the Dance Stage.

Tickets go on sale Valentine's Day, February 14 and cost $75 for a day ticket or $141 for a weekend pass.

I hate California. It's truly the New Jersey of the west.

does that make Portland,OR the Manhattan of the west? yikes.
Well, to be fair, I have only been to southern California. S.Cal is a lot like NJ, IMO. It's New Jersey on steroids.
i dont like southern california either.

LA is lame and San Diego is kinda gross. then its just a desert and some smog and a lot of people who speak spanish.

San Jose is very nice. i only go to SoCal for this show

jersey?? do they have a lot of car dealerships?

I was thinking more of oil refineries and chemical plants. Choked highways and rude locals.

Nice waves though. S.Cal, not NJ. The waves in NJ are no better than OC. By OC I mean Ocean City…and not Orange County. Orange County has some bitchin' surf!

you know, thats funny you mention that. When i was young, i went to PEI with a friends family and it is beautiful. We had this house on the beach and everything. Except it was freakin 50 degrees every damn day in the middle of June!!!
sure, i want to go into that water. crazy assholes.
Alright, you are sort of right. I don't think I kept the thread alive and kicking for four freaking straight months, as this one seems destined to be, but your point it made.

I think it's hilarious than Sonick would call me a redneck.

Hmmm, that reminds me…SCTV once did a parody of THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO called The Streets of Prince Edward Island with John Candy in the Michael Douglas role. Hilarious!
