COACHELLA: are you going?

[mmmender]

who's going?

ctblue

[Jeek]

Not I.

[grnfaerie]

no way you can stop me.

[fredofla]

someone just hi-jacked my "Coachella: 1 or 2 days" thread.

grrrr.

back to the drawing boards.

[rilkean]

I realy want to......

i´m planning how....

ctblue

[kaini]

Just can't. Would cost too much!
But I'm in a church right now, lighting candles, praying all the Saints to make me rich before May or to make Cocteau Twins play other gigs in Europe!
(I could even start to believe if any of those two happened!)

[Mattlike]

I will without a doubt be there!

[penguinone]

Not a chance but seeing the announcement made me think really hard about it. I really want to see CT play again! Any word on other shows after that? The one show I saw was one of the best concerts of my life! (At the Mayan in Los Angeles, Milk and Honey tour, I think?)

[petroldarling]

yesyesyesyesyes!

[Rabidglow]

I MUST go...
It's my first time seeing Cocteau Twins
I am going to cry,faint, and pee myself....

[dynamine]

count me in!

[Pale Clouded]

I'm working on it....so much money to go :(

[mmmender]

The one show I saw was one of the best concerts of my life! (At the Mayan in Los Angeles, Milk and Honey tour, I think?)
oh dear.

[Pale Clouded]

oh dear.

crying

[Rabidglow]

ok one problem, their set won't be too long. They are not even headlining for CHRIST's SAKE!

[dynamine]

eggs-ackly!

who the fuck is WEEZER???....tho i do like coldplay,but c'mon!

*puke*

[Rabidglow]

[dynamine]

roflmao

how do i know this?
;)

[Angel]

I'll be there!

[bearclaw]

i'll selling my soul as we speak !!!
i the dark lord [ and no i don't mean nick cave !! ] accepts my offer then ill be there
just hope my soul is worth the cost of a flight from uk & tickets

[Lucibelle]

I HAVE to go! Somehow, some way, I just simply have to be there!

[travieso]

I'll definitely be there. The only downside is that I called my best friend in Michigan when I saw the news and left him a message. He got into CT thru me about four years ago. He regrets never having seen them and frequently asks me to explain how they were when I saw them in 1990 and 1996. When he called me back, the first thing I heard was an anguished scream: he's going to be Japan visiting his girlfriend then.

poor guy.... crying

[Lucibelle]

Tell him there are other fish in the sea, but only ONE Cocteau Twins. ;)

[travieso]

other fish in the sea, eh? that just might work!

:provoke:

[lo-fi]

LOL think i must have missed that album :bum:

[JohnnyV]

working to get the time off from work "as we speak"

[katheryna]

I want to go!!!!
I need to go!!!!
it's so much money... :-(
BUT i'm working on it....

[Adrien_D]

I'm considering going out there, but as many others have said, this will be contingent on their playing other shows besides Coachella. I'd prefer to see tham at a proper CT show in an indoor venue (preferably not in the desert), but everytime I decide I can't get out to California, I begin secretly scheming how it will all work out....

Adrien (in Boston)

[Yama]

I can't wait to go!!! I'm too excited about this...I have NEVER saw them live, so going would be such a memorable moment for me! hell yeah! ;-)

[Quisquose]

Augghh! Can't decide!

On the one hand:
*there's nothing really standing in my way. The money's a bit of a stretch (I've looked at plane fare, hotels, & rental car, and it would probably end up at least $1000). But if I wanted to I could do it.
*who knows if the opportunity to see them ever comes up again? It's possible, but I wouldn't stake my life on it.
*I've always wanted to visit California

On the other hand:
*I would have to go it alone (no friends who like CT or festivals enough to go), and I don't relish that at all.
*I hate festivals and outdoor concerts in general - I haven't been to one in probably 10 years. (I'm a bit of a social phobe and I hate crowds)
*They may play an hour or so, tops.
*What are the chances of little 'ol 5'2" me getting close enough to the stage to really get a good look?
*What if I plunk down 1000 clams and they cancel?
*I did get to see them one time, on the M&K tour, so it's not like this is my only chance
*I can't really afford to stay more than a couple of days, so it's not like I could do much sightseeing.

So I'm asking myself - is it all worth it? I'm very conflicted. If I lived, say, within a day's drive of the venue , I'm sure I would do it.

Anyone else feel the same? It's really bothering me. I literally lay awake last night thinking about it. :toilet:

[postlibyan]

On the other hand:
*I would have to go it alone (no friends who like CT or festivals enough to go), and I don't relish that at all. but all of us will be there, so you don;t have to stand alone. you can stand with the other Faithful Fans. :)

*They may play an hour or so, tops. better than nothing, in my opinion....

*What are the chances of little 'ol 5'2" me getting close enough to the stage to really get a good look? one word -- binoculars! i have a couple of pair of small, but sturdy and good, binoculars that i plan on bringing. you'll see... and hear!

*What if I plunk down 1000 clams and they cancel? i was under the impression this is a done deal. i mean, if the announcements been made public, then CT are now under contract.

i am going, and i will put up with any inconvenience for this.... sure, it'll be hot, and sweaty, and crowded. but the chance to see CT play live again.... it's worth it. it's so worth it to me....

PJK

[fredofla]

ok one problem, their set won't be too long. They are not even headlining for CHRIST's SAKE!

.....hey, no problem here.

since they are NOT headlining, CT may very well be performing earlier in the day or evening, and to a slightly "smaller" crowd.

which means i can then escape the hot desert crowds early and head back to town a for nice mint julip, a quick dip in the pool and an evening of Saturday night clubbing in gay old Palm Springs.

there's also several casinos in the area, i hear.

frankly, i have no use for Coldplay (or even Bauhaus) in a festival situ.

why leave less than an exquisite taste in your mouth.....after CT play i'll be racing to the parking lot.

ctblue

[mmmender]

i'm with you on the party vibe, fred.

not only is this a great opportunity to see cocteau twins again but it's also another opportunity to mix and mingle with other fans. LA and surrounding areas have so much to offer, not to mention the great company. i'm in this for the long haul and after an experience like cocteaufest you know what it's all about to surround yourself with other cocteau fans. it's going to be wonderful.

i can hardly wait to see you again and give you a great big hug, sweetie.

....and none too soon, either!

yes, lightning does strike twice in the same place!

let's brainstorm ways we can let every CT fan attending Coachella know about our blessed, and happy cyber-palace here and the upcoming UK COCTEAUfest.

we'll be like a new kind of evangelical:

spreading the good word, and at the very same time bathe in the many pleasures of their music and our gracious company.

have you checked out the Saturday lodging that PJK and myself are staying at? (www.palmcourt-inn.com) it's quite a reasonable deal money-wise and it would be so sweet to have you nearby.


:calla:

[mmmender]

thanks for the ip on the inn, fred. i'll look into that. i think at some point i should do another thread with travel and accomodation information for people attending coachella. i'll be sure to add the palm court to the list.

can't wait to see you again either, we're definitely going to have to advertise our lovely fest to all the coachella goers, they won't know what hit em.

[spiderlocks]

I hope the tickets dont sell out to soon, I would hate to miss this show, it was so suddon I need to also figure out a ride..wish me luck! I hope to see all of you there.

[kuperman]

I went last year for the Pixies and Kraftwerk. No way I'll be able to make the trek again this year. Any word on if this is just a one-off or there will be more shows?

[spiderlocks]

I have my fingers crossed that they will do a few more gigs...it will be hard for so many of us to make that one show, but im sure gonna try! :)

wow -- as of this posting 23 people have said that they are going! everyone definitely needs to come to CLub Violane beforehand and hang out / do the meet-n-greet.

[Angel]

So how far is Palm Springs from LA and then to the actual site of the festival?

[mmmender]

if i recall correctly i think that palm springs is about 3 hours from LA but don't quote me on that.

[jottke]

Augghh! Can't decide!

no me too, exactly. time to buy a couple scratchers, and that would settle it.

[E-Lo]

So how far is Palm Springs from LA and then to the actual site of the festival?

Without traffic (i.e., not after work/Friday night) LA-Palm Springs is about a 2-hour drive (~110 miles). Palm Springs to Indio/Coachella is 25 miles, ~30-minute drive without traffic

[mattadore]

Hmmm... I'm going to Palm Desert next Monday and Tuesday on business and I have a car rental... maybe I should drive to LA to check it out if it's that close, as I've never been.

I'm staying at this place La Quinta: http://www.laquintaresort.com/

Check it out! Looks fabu!

[E-Lo]

La Quinta is quite fab. They have a beautiful golf course and it is not far from my favorite steakhouse in the area, LG's Prime

http://www.lgsprimesteakhouse.com/locations.html
YUM!

[mattadore]

Oh yes, it's on. I do like me some steak. I went to Fogo De Chao in Atlanta, which was fairely insane. Too much meat. But... I'm hijacking this thread. ;)

[etc etc]

Did they show you the 'roast beef'?

[mattadore]

No, they did show me the bacon-wrapped filet mignon, the sirloin, and the salad bar though. I had the meat sweats. It wasn't pretty.

[nardo]

crying
..........hoping for european tour. Coachella as far as Titan for me!

[poplife]

I know... I know... :-(

[etc etc]

What! No nut encrusted rumpsteak carpaccio?

[mattadore]

Naw... all the waiters dress up as “Gaúchos” (Southern Brazilian cowboys) though - and they love to shave the beef right off the skewer.

[Outofspace]

I don't have so much money to spend and I don't have a boarding pass...
I also wanted to see Liz with Massive Attack in Bristol on February 19th, but have arranged to play with a friend's band that evening...
Anyway, I believe that there 's gonna be another festival in Europe soon and I'm already saving money for it!

[snowcrash78]

I have my tickets and I will be there!!! I can't wait!!! April 30th is a special day...It is my sons birthday!!!

[rilkean]

I´ll be there!!!!!!!!!!


YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:crazy:

[dan699]

Well, hullo. Managed to get 2 friends to come to LA for the week (from 28th Apr till 5th May). Just wondering will Coachella sell out before then? but there will be Club Violaine! Can't get tix yet. My credit card's expired. May have to wait until next month. Anyway, if I can't get to Coachella, I will get to club Violaine. Have never danced to CT in public and can't wait to strut my stuff!!!!
P.S. Robin, I'm still waiting for a lift!

[Pale Clouded]

Still working on it...not giving up yet...no way!

[rilkean]

I´ve got my flight tickets!!!!!!!!

[Baddy2shoos]

not every1 has money trees in their backgarden

[j.christian]

Yes, we will be going! All the way from Pennsylvania!! The last time I saw them (1994 in NYC) I ended up starting a band (SWAY) with the people who went with me! I can't wait!!!

[j.christian]

i can't believe that out of all the people on this forum so far only 32 have said they're going to coachella!!
It is a lot of money for a lot of people. However, if anyone lives within driving distance, I would think they woudl try to make it. I hope they tour, but I can't miss this chance. A lot of the bands are garbage, but there are some worth the time. ctblue

believe me i know! i'm unemployed but still have to find a way to make it there.....somehow.

[Delerium242]

i can't believe that out of all the people on this forum so far only 32 have said they're going to coachella!!

Well I like the twins but I'm not even going to spend $70 to see a band in Orlando let alone buying a round trip airfare ticket to Cali from Florida, get a hotel room, rental car and concert ticket to see ANY band. Hell I could have seen Madonna for $300 in So Florida but I can't justify that kind a money for a concert and I really like Madonna.

So I'll wait for them to come to Florida if not the southeast area with in driving distance. And if they don't and this is a single one time only show that I'll miss then so be it.

But I hope those that are going have fun and enjoy the show and it's all that this reunion hype has made it into. :)

[ScottL]

Well it is half of those who responded...sounds pretty good given how far most have to go, and how few actually vote on polls on the average.

What are the stats anyway on poll response anyway?....the sexual orientation one seemed to have alot of votes..

It woudn't be an issue if I lived on the same landmass. Being stuck just down the road from CTs home, it's a bit more difficult. Perhaps they'll cosided a gig for us Brits.

[dprid]

I'm going anyway, just in case UK gigs don't happen. If they don't and I missed it I think I'd kick myself from now 'til whenever. Fortunately I can combine the trip with the current Mrs Dprid visiting her Mother in Modesto and then bringing Mum back to the UK for a holiday which was going to happen around this time anyway :)

Unfortunately I am right out of holiday entitlement so can't make the trip myself .... who am I trying to kid - can't actually afford it but it makes me fell better if I believe my own "publicity"!!!

thankyou so much!

-kisses-

[mattadore]

This will be old hat to Californians who are already familiar with the area, but for folks from other parts of the world who are making the trip, make sure you allow some extra time to drink in the beautiful surroundings. Last week I was on a business trip to California. We flew into Palm Springs and stayed in La Quinta (right near Coachella Road!) - and I must say, coming from New England, that the landscape blew me away - the area around there was incredible - we drove up to Joshua Tree National Park which was amazing to see. I will offer the unsolicited opinion that Palm Springs itself didn't impress me much, it seemed to be full of geriatrics and rich fuckers, but otherwise it was amazing out there. The land is just bigger, grander, everything is on a larger scale.

There was this amazing windmill farm by the side of the highway off I10 which heads west from Palm Springs to Los Angeles - there were tons of these windmills, each one maybe 50 feet high, they were incredible to see. I wonder how much electricity they actually generate?

[E-Lo]

Coolio, glad you enjoyed your trip to the area Matty. Those amazing windmills actually generate enough power to provide electricity to Palm Springs and the entire Coachella valley. They look so graceful covering the San Gorgonio Pass.

Yes plenty of rich old fuckas in PS, but I do adore the cosmic mid-century Frey, Neutra, and Lautner architecture :)

[mattadore]

I probably needed to give Palm Springs more of a chance, but I was so intrigued by the outlying areas like Black Rock Canyon, Twenty-Nine Palms highway, Joshua Tree, and such... for some reason when I'm in the desert I really just like to drive around mostly and trip out on stuff. :)

[Angel]

So, I've got my flight and festival tickets now and my room on reserve!!!! There's no way I'm backing out now. How many of you guys are staying at the Palm Court Inn (I think that's what it's called)? Maybe we can all get together Friday night (if you're not going to Club Violaine) and have a drink (or 5)?? We'll be there at least by 3 on Friday afternoon. Let me know if you're interested.

yes, but only for that Saturday night (which i think is the case for many of us here.)

Friday night i'll be in LA for Club Violaine, i'm absolutely certain.

Angel, maybe you should find a way into LA for that event too, eh?

i'll likely have more real "fun" there than at Coachella.....if only because of the nightime ambience and the CT dancing and the smaller, more intimate gathering of CT devotees.

really, i have no idea how i'm gonna cope with a crowd of 50,000 at Coachella.

most likely, i'll just grin and bare it (all for that special luxury of saying, "yes, i was really there."

it's the whole pilgrimage thang, i guess.

Hello Serpentine, the translation is very clear. And as you said I also speak english, so don't worry. And yes, sometimes it's hard to find other C.T. fans in the neighborhood, so it's great to find places like this to hang out with you guys. In fact one of my dreams is to listen to my favorite C.T. songs with some company who really enjoy them and talk bout it. Well, maybe someday...

Bien yo tengo 34 años y desde hace 16 conocí a los Cocteau, desafortunadamente no los pude ver en vivo (estuve cerca en el 96 cuando se presentaron en Los Angeles.... ni hablar), pero tuve la fortuna de ver a Simon cuando vino con The Automns a la Cd. de México... cantaron un par de canciones de los Cocteau! Imagínate a Simon cantando The Itchy Globo Blow ...jeje. Lo pude saludar personalmente... un humano a toda madre. Hay rumores de que volverá a fines de año con Bel Canto ¿los conoces? ... bueno, si hay algo real te confirmo después. Vivo por Legaria y soy Ing en sistemas... tu a qué te dedicas por allá?

Aquí es relativamente fácil encontrar los albums completos, pero ep's y rarezas es casi imposible. Yo he conseguido mi colección gracias a internet.

Bueno, espero estemos en contacto por este medio y si es necesario abrimos un thread para la comunidad latino!

Saludos
I find translating Spanish difficult enough without fucking typos.

Hola Barbazul.... ya poco a poco iran apareciendo los fans que hablamos español.
Escuche wax and wane en una discoteca peruana cuando tenia 19 (ahora tengo 25). Luego me grabe el garlands en un cd-r.
En Peru es un poco dificil encontrar material original, por alli hay un par de coleccionistas, pero ellos no venden sus cosas, q tienen cosas raras y vinilos.
Personalmente, odio comprar via internet. Todos mis discos, EP's, LP's, videos, los he ido comprado en tiendas en Estados Unidos ya que estoy viviendo aqui desde hace 6 años casi. Nunca he conseguido rarezas ni aqui, ni en Peru... eso es super-dificil, pero no imposible.
No es mala idea abrir algo para la comunidad latina, que le guste esta musica. Espero que por alli alguien mas se anime a postear algo...
saludos

no me imaginaba que en P.R o en D.R se escuche a los cocteau... aunque por alli he escuchado comentarios acerca del la movida del shoegazar en Puerto Rico. Un amigo planea realizar un festival de ese estilo, justamente alli http://www.myspace.com/popnoisefestival

Bien yo tengo 34 años y desde hace 16 conocí a los Cocteau, desafortunadamente no los pude ver en vivo (estuve cerca en el 96 cuando se presentaron en Los Angeles.... ni hablar), pero tuve la fortuna de ver a Simon cuando vino con The Automns a la Cd. de México... cantaron un par de canciones de los Cocteau! Imagínate a Simon cantando The Itchy Globo Blow ...jeje. Lo pude saludar personalmente... un humano a toda madre. Hay rumores de que volverá a fines de año con Bel Canto ¿los conoces? ... bueno, si hay algo real te confirmo después. Vivo por Legaria y soy Ing en sistemas... tu a qué te dedicas por allá? Cancún es un paraiso terrenal!. Por cierto estoy escuchando la canción Silent Spring que viene incluida en la recopilación Collected de Massive Attack con Liz Fraser... es una gema! Saludos!

Bueno, pues al parecer esto ya se convirtió en un thread en español, jejeje. (sorry, english speaking fellows). Yo tampoco tuve la oportunidad de verlos nunca en vivo, Y prefiero no imaginarme a Simon cantando, jejeje. Pero seguro fue una buena experiencia el darle la mano y tenerlo de frente. Y sí conozco a bel Canto, también una muy buena banda. Acepto tu oferta y si sabes algo no dejes de avisarme, gracias. Ah, ok. ya trabajaba en Polanco y mi abuela vive por allá. Yo soy Ingeniero industrial y ahorita estoy trabajando en la agencia Ford de Cancún en rollos de logística, abasto y operaciones. Sí, la neta es un lugar muy agradable para vivir... aunque no hay que olvidar que hoy inició oficialmente la temporada de huracanes... En fin, esperemos que este año no nos toque tan fuerte. Massive Attack también me late, tengo el mezzaninne (por obvias razones) y el 100th Window y pronto espero echarle la mano al Collected. Otra de mis bandas favoritas es Dead can Dance. Fui al concierto el pasado septiembre en el auditorio, yo estoy escuchando precísamente ese concierto: Increible...
Seguimos en contacto!!! Saludos!!

Hola, Trilce. No subestimes el poder de la red. Yo hace poquito compré un par de sencillos en Ebay que no encontraba por ningún lado. De hecho, después me enteré que se los había comprado a un moderador del foro. Y, la verdad, al menos en México, es una buena opción recurrir a la red proque los precios en las tiendas se elevan muchísimo.

saludos!!!

Lo que no me gusta es tener que esperar a que me llegue el material. Como dicen "la espera desespera". Naturalmente, compre Continental a traves del internet y tuve que esperar 1 mes y medio (angustioso)...
Lo del Ebay me parece bien, pero por alli hay algunos malos vendedores, en los que no se puede confiar... en fin, en estas cosas de conseguir material de los cocteau hay que tener suerte...
Saludos
