Exciting news music lovers!

I'm glad you think the line-up is sucky, that means one less person there. I also think Amy Winehouse, Fall Out Boy, Jessica Simpson, Madonna, and every other shitty artists you try to pimp out on this site suck!

jtizz says – reply to this

36

Last time I checked….Chromeo, M.I.A., Vampire Weekend, Les Savy Fav, The National, Jens Lekman, Death Cab for Cutie and Jack Johnson do NOT make a sucky lineup. Why don't you get some musical taste, Perez?

sTAR says – reply to this

44

He is soooooo HHHHHHHHHHOT. He is a great writer/performer and can tear up the guitar and piano….he is really good looking in person but is shorty shorty short (like 5'2" !! His confidence and talent are what make him (as with any rockstar) super sexy. A concert outside in the heat is not for me though. Hope whoever goes enjoys.

Too Bad for Perez says – reply to this

47

Naturally, you would say the line up sucks because you haven't been invited to participate and you fancy yourself some kind of musical wunderkind. Sorry to say it, Perez, but not everyone in the world likes poseur pop bands who copy the sounds of talented artists before them. That said, Coachella sucks now because it's gotten way too big for its britches. It was way better before it became a photo op for drunk celebs.
Andrew says – reply to this

Perez WTF are you talking about, the coachella line up is fucking amazing. Why should Prince perform there? WHO GIVES A RATS ASS ABOUT PRINCE

Just because MIA and SIA are your only bitches in the lineup doesn't mean is sucks. It means you personally don't have enough invested to keep your interest.

The lineup rocks!!! cept Jack Johnson. He will get more applause if goldenvoice burns him alive rather than letting him sing.
AD says – reply to this

52

Wow still sexy.

Jack Johnson is playing….he doesn't suck…
Coachella Rocks!!! says – reply to this

54

Ok Perez I have had enough of you. I like your site, it is funny, but saying the Coachella Line-up is shitty moves you to a realm that I can't even give a name for. What is it with gay men and their complete lack of originality when it comes to musical taste? Madonna has not done anything good since 1989. Britney has proven she is nothing but a talentless piece of white trash. Yet gay men continue to eat that shit up Don't even get me started on the rest of fag music. Thats right you heard me. Fag music. I am a gay man so I can say that whenever.
Coachella Rocks!!!(Cont) says – reply to this

55

As a gay man it pains me to see our community be so closed minded when it comes to musical tastes. Aren't we supposed to be a cutting edge group of people always on the front of pop culture trends? With the mainstream music industry dying a slow death it is indie music that will thrive. That is what Coachella is all about. Sure it was not originally as good as last years headliners but now with Prince it is as strong as ever. The "lower" acts are amazing. Architecture in Helsinki, Vampire Weekend, VHS or Beta, Battles, Tegan and Sarah, I could go on forever. These are acts that actually put thought and real feeling into the music they write, record, produce themselves. Do any of the bands/divas you push on this site do that? No. Why? Because all it is is a bunch of "safe" crap that is written by writers and producers who are out to make a buck. Yes bands/artists need to make a living. But it should be based on real talent.
So before you go on saying the line up sucks stop and think for a second will ya. Because fag music sucks. Always has sucked, and always will suck. So fuck off.

65

I was just going to comment on Perez's bad taste…how is that line-up shitty? Look at all the up & coming artists…beats the shit out of Janet Jackson and Madonna. At least these artists have depth and talent, as well as sick DJ'ing skills…love to see The Jonah Brothers on a pair of turntables. Blech Perez…I used to think you were alright…not so much now. Go listen to MGMT!!!

Love him! he is a genius and he is an amazing live performer who can play any instrument, he is a brilliant guitarist too, but some people just can't see that and just critic how he looks all the time cause he wears some eyeliner, you fuckers need to go to one of his concerts before you dare comment on him, fuckers.
I'm going to see him live in Dublin, Croke park June 16th and I can't wait!
Also he is still so sexy and he is nearly 50, I would let him swivel in my loveseat anyday

The Coachella line up doesn't suck and I disagree that by adding PRINCE that it gets better.

Bonnaroo has the line up beat this year though.

Perez, when will it be time to out Prince? I mean I like him music-wise, but I'll never find the guy ZEXY.
Per the 'tantrum' scene in Purple Rain, he can only be described, at the very least, flamboyantly effeminate. He's got a thing for man-a-zons, too, not exactly REAL women.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
