441. - The Coachella Lineup

All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place. All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcast. or watch on YouTube. Another monsoon day in Los Angeles. I'm Chris Black coming to you live from a puddle in West Hollywood. On the line, I have my co-host. I haven't been to the puddle yet. Is it good? It's Thursdays are pretty good. It's right next to Laurel. Yeah, Thursdays are pretty good. My illustrious co-host, DJ Them Jeans, getting wet and wild over there in Glendale, I imagine. Oh, it's not super wild. The days are spent looking out the window and waiting for a brief lapse in monsoon so you could go out. and walk the dog for 18 minutes then you run back inside of course the our heater doesn't work whenever it rains so uh it's been uh it's been a charming 63 degrees inside the house for last week and a half luckily it's not that cold but you know me chris i'm finicky my little i don't have any any meat on my bones neither muscle nor fat i am hippie and that's something i live with but that uh I do have so many bones, and they sort of react to this coldness so much. Skeletor suffers in the cold more than someone like me, and I understand that. But I'm glad that you're able to kind of push through. I think we're nearing the end of this monstrosity. So I know you're going to keep making your broth. Well, that reminds me. I need to make broth. Hopefully the rain subsides. But I was just...

We got a lot to cover here. Well, I was reading about one of your kind of heroes. Well, I mean, show me the lie. I mean, one of Orange County's best exports. We got Bad Religion. Oh, wow. I was not expecting you to talk about Punk's Bad Religion. The band lit. DJ Them Jeans. Several, several skateboarders. um that i that i don't want to name but but gwen is in a little hot water and it's because it's because she did an interview i mean what is hot water if not broth i mean honestly it's strange i was driving around burbank i was driving around burbank yesterday the orange county or the anaheim of la i should say And I threw on Tragic Kingdom on the Spotify just to kind of feel something. Okay, well, the staff at Allure are clutching their pearls. I just found a tweet. Gwen Stefani got very, uh, honest after editor Jessica Marie Kalor asked about the 2008 backlash against the Harajuku Lovers collection. In my six years at Allure magazine, this might be the strangest celebrity interview we've ever published. Oh, shit. I have a strong feeling it is, I would bet my life that it's not a strange interview. I mean, she says, the quote is, I said, this is Gwen Stefani, I said, my God, I'm Japanese. So it's a little, I mean, you know, it's a little weird. I think I'm Japanese, as in, like, I'm so invested mentally into this culture of being a Harajuku girl, what? Give it up, what? From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girl. She's like, I'm so Harajuku because I went to Japan one time and Japanese chicks are cute that I'm basically Japanese now. If people are going to criticize me for being a fan of something beautiful and sharing that, I just think that doesn't feel right. I think it was a beautiful time of creativity, a time of ping-pong match between Harajuku culture and American culture. Of all the games to play, we had to choose an Asian-dominated racquet sport. Come on, man. She is from Orange County at the end of the day. La Crosse was on the table. This feels like Blake Shelton influence. It should be okay to be inspired by other cultures. She's Blake-pilled. Like Stefani, I am not Japanese, but I am an Asian woman living in America, says the writer.

Which is very, very cool. But yeah, it seems like Gwen, because she has a new beauty brand that you're going to love the name of, it's called Give, but guess what the I is? Don't tell me it's a Y. It's an X, even better. No way! That's right. Wait, so the official spelling is G-X-V-E? That's right, all caps, of course. I still have a lot of Ethereum tied up on my GXEE account. I can't get into the login. I can't withdraw at all. But it's been, yeah, so it's a tough day for Gwen. I'm sure she's at the ranch. Hopefully she's taking it out on a bale of hay with a bow and arrow with Blake by her side. But, I mean, she does sound quite stupid, but I also just think that, like, I guess there's no way to avoid talking about this because she's launching a new beauty brand and her last beauty brand was called Harajuku Lovers. So, I mean, it's a little unavoidable, but Allure is really milking this cow. I'll tell you that. They're acting like she killed someone. I mean, who else is going to interview Gwen Stefani in 2023 other than Allure or like Mario Lopez for like a morning show or something like that? Yeah, no, it's very easy. Gwen Stefani honestly depresses me because she really was this poster person for like, I'm an individual. I'm punk rock. Here's the ethos of what I'm into. And then as soon as she gets that taste of fame, it's just like, cool, I'm abandoning all the musicians that helped me along the way. I don't think it's been a test. I think she was cool for longer than a lot of people would have been, considering the success. I just don't like it when people are... When they really just like, here's my vibe. Are you saying you don't like when motherfuckers switch up on you? You don't like that? She switched it up. She switched it up on me. And it was a bummer because she really was a great role model for a lot of people. uh you know there's there's potential there and then you know i also don't blame her it's just the the entertainment industry just chews you up spits you out and says hey you don't need that trumpet player in the band anymore and you don't even need that guitar player that drummer that bass player anymore you should just do this fucking terrible song with eve to be honest she doesn't need them and it's like it's like maroon well i mean she did need it because like you know there are a lot of

really good no doubt songs they have great percussion i agree but let's look at the drum tone i don't great fills i don't mean to go david chomo but let's look at the stats because i bet i bet those well yeah of course of course the solo i mean i'm saying like if it gets to a point where you're not getting along and you're the star this is just bound to happen adam levine is is a really nice guy and he lets those guys kind of stay along when he's in the lab cooking with Shellback or whoever is writing Maroon 5 songs now. He doesn't need Maroon 5 to make money, but he needs them to be cool and relevant and interesting. Otherwise, you just become some kind of AR creature that just... You know, you have to host like talent shows until you fucking die. I would rather listen to No Doubt, but I think her career exploded after she became Gwen Stefani and left No Doubt. So I think she made the right decision. Sure. You know, but I also I feel for Tony. She's got blood on her hands. She's got orange juice on her hands. She's got she's got cropped wife beaters and orange juice on her hands. There's no question. Gwen, I know you listen. You ratty bitch. This wasn't something I was expecting to see today, that's for sure. But the news cycle will move on. I've, of course... Remove No Doubt and Gwen Stefani from all of my Spotify and Apple Music playlists. I implore you to do the same, Jason. If I catch you streaming, because you remember when I walked in, you were playing Wordle during the New York Times strike and how that fared for you. That wasn't great. Chris, you said you wouldn't mention that after I did the special thing. No, make sure you go online and you stream old No Doubt songs, the ones where the musicians in the band may. Actually get a one nine thousandth of a penny per stream. And don't go into some of the solo stuff. That being said, I will gladly go see her in Vegas. Jason has been bringing up Vegas a lot because he's craving a Vegas trip. And it looks like... We might have to do a How Long Gone Pilgrimage to the Desert with our friends at JSX. You know, just kind of post up and work on some material. We're calling it a writer's trip. Really hunker down and get some pen on the pad. Go see DJ Diplo live. Maybe, I don't know, eat at Carbone or something crazy like that. That'd be fun. I don't know. And maybe do a little shopping. They have great shopping there. Yeah, I've had my eye on a couple Hugo Boss pieces that I've seen in the windows over there at some of the shops.

Actually, the Ralph Lauren store at the Polish or whatever, the Caesars Palace. I mean, no, the shopping in Vegas is world class. They have a pretty good pull. No, the shopping in Las Vegas is world class. But it's not to be, you know, there's so much to do. I think we should maybe go out to the desert and ride some ATVs or something. I want to do something a little, I don't want to shoot machine guns at a tin can. But I do want to maybe ride an ATV or something that feels a little masculine. You know, feel like we're like in the desert. You want to whip a couple shitties? I want to whip a couple shitties. You already know that I'll bust a crunchy in the sand. And how good would it be for the show if one of us broke our arm? You know, that's great stuff. So, I mean, there's nothing. Or better. Yeah, yeah, exactly. TJ lost a leg. I saw a video yesterday. He's going to beat this thing. I saw Two Tone posted a video on his account yesterday of these two guys fighting. And they're like squaring up and they're fighting. They're going all around the parking lot. And then one guy falls on top of the other guy. And he's just like, bro, my arm's broken. And his arm is literally turned around to the other side. And it was just, it really, I can't get the mental image out of my head. Have you ever seen that happen IRL? that's it's it's tough to watch no no i mean i've seen it in a lot of like skateboarding content you know like real yeah that's true real injuries um but i i don't love to see that real injuries i'm a little bit of a i'm a little bit of a pussy as you know chris uh has does not have the stomach for a compound fracture i i don't and that's why i kind of stay off the gridiron um as well as any other contact sports because i would rather uh be in the gym um working out listening to you know j cole thanks to the girl at the desk well um let's talk about eric andre's in the news you wanted to bring him up perhaps oh yeah so eric andre uh comedian and i feel like sort of a friend of the show um he has been spotted around town with um america's greatest bachelorette uh friend of the show emily radikowski what say you chris what are your first

First thoughts on this. Well, I like to see that Emily is a cool chick who's able to look past, you know, kind of regular beauty standards and kind of, you know, look on the inside. Dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope. I have never even cracked a smile any Eric Andre material, but I could see him being a great date if you're looking to laugh. If you're looking to laugh. I agree. Not a dull moment. Yeah, exactly. So I kind of see how this is going to go. I mean, I think if they make it to three dates, we know what's happening. You know what I'm saying? But I think that I like that Ratajkowski is out here living her life and just kind of trying new stuff. Like, I'm going to date Jack Greer, a guy that does graffiti. I'm going to date a fucking DJ no one's heard of. I'm going to date Brad Pitt. I'm going to date Eric Andre. Wait, you just named me. A graffiti artist and a DJ no one's ever heard of? I'm like, we're just friends, Chris. Well, and not only that, but she's also a fellow podcaster, so there's a lot in common. You have a lot of attractive qualities, but it seems like she's not banging your lines. So much to talk about our first dinner. No, that's true. Can you show me your black book, babe? I would love to see it. But just because they're spotted doesn't mean that. It could just be... Yeah. Hopefully she's just Trevor Noah-ing. Well, maybe he's working on her podcast. Maybe he's on the writing team of the podcast. But yeah, okay. Or he's a guest. Yeah. I mean, I guess we do go out to dinner with our guest. I went out to dinner with Ryan O'Connell last night. So, I mean, anything is possible. All right. We do have a guest today. Okay, wonderful. Okay, wonderful. Oh, this is huge for me personally. This episode of How I'm Gone.

This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by a new podcast from The Guardian stateside with Kai and Carter. This is covering a lot of our bases, Jason. It's trying to slow down. The news and wrestle with the questions we all have about what's happening in the world. And I know you particularly have quite a lot of questions. A lot of questions. But how often? Because we do this podcast three times a week and that's a sweet spot. How many times do they do? Three times a week. And I have a feeling just based on the platform and these talking points that they're maybe going to be covering different stuff than we do. That's just a guess. The Guardian is not some billionaire owned. They're not afraid to say what they want to say, brother. Yeah, Rupert ain't sniffing around in what journalists Kai Wright and Carter Sherman are up to over there at Stateside. But yeah, listen wherever you get your podcasts. You can watch it on YouTube. It's three times a week. And who couldn't use more news? You know, especially when it's not, you know, from here, let's say. Give it a listen. Give it a listen.

And since the beginning of this episode and the title has no guests listed, we did have a guest planned. And then she had a meeting at the same time. And decided to not do our podcast. Well, it's just like, oops, sorry. And it's like, yeah, it's not the end of the world. But if you agree to it, I have to ask a real question. If you're an adult that makes money and functions in society, if you have the aptitude to agree to a Google Calendar invite that has all the information for you to use, then you should be able to see that alert that comes 10 minutes before.

know that you're going to have to do uh what you agreed to do that's the part i don't understand or if you have a meeting scheduled at noon and you have another meeting scheduled at noon and you know that in advance maybe days or weeks in advance then you would say hey just to let you know i'm going to be running 20 minutes late because i'm in a meeting or whatever it is versus just like nothing But some people get to operate through life like that. Yeah, I don't know any of them, though. I don't know people like that. I really don't. I know some people. It is an ignorance is bliss kind of thing of just like, yeah, I was going to do that, but then I didn't. Like, LOL, whatever. And other people are just like, hey, well, I guess next time. Well, in a great twist. You know, there ain't shit we can do about it. So they win. I mean, that's the reality. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It's kind of like, yeah, what are you going to do? But then, you know, then some people are like very have a strong fear of being thought of as. An unthoughtful person, an unkind person, a dick. Somebody who is not respectful of somebody else. Something that you don't have a fear of, but other people might. I don't have a fear of that, but other people might. Real people do. And some people are just like, yeah, I don't care if I fuck that person over. uh i mean who gives a shit i don't care because i want to talk about uh eric andre for another 20 minutes anyway so it's not really we'll get into the eat to e-man yeah i mean he i've been to his house a few times had some sick parties um do you know his do you know his history of of stick manning is there any notable conquests that we should be aware of that kind of definitely he's definitely tried to fuck my ex or some shit you know while we were dating Well, yeah, no, obviously that. I mean, obviously that. He definitely shot his shot at Maru or some shit. But he doesn't have – there's no of-note Xs that we – the Hollywood types that we should have. Not that I know of, no. Okay, okay. So this is a little bit maybe out of his zone. He's not like an Andrew Callahan level of stickmanning. I would like to say that –

The official Coachella lineup just dropped, Jason. Oh, really? Yeah, bro, but guess what? Thank God our guest canceled. Friday is bad money. See, bad money. And David Cho said Blackpink was going to be on Friday. Dumbass, David Cho. Blackpink is on Saturday. I know. He said it was Friday very confidently. I see. Very confidently saying, oh, no, no, they're confirmed for Friday, Jason. Oh, so we're just going against, okay, so we're just saying he got the day wrong, dumbass. That's what we're going. It's not about. Well, he was very much like correcting me like, oh, no, no, no, no. That's not going to happen because Blackpink is confirmed for a Friday. Don't worry, Jason. It looks like we're going to have to go on Sunday for the day. It's Bjork opening for Frank Ocean. Okay. We got the best part about it at the very bottom, returning to the desert, Calvin Harris. It's such a bummer because every Coachella lineup, like the last year, it was like since this group. is like old and nobody really cares about them except for like the agents at wme or wherever they're working at because of some blood oath like swedish house mafia has to perform like every single night at midnight and they can't exist on the they can't live on the hierarchy of the of the band's lists they have to live in their own category because no nobody wants to tell them that like less people want to see you than like actually no i actually disagree with that completely i think More people want to see Calvin Harris than almost everybody on this list except maybe the headliners is the reality. If you're looking at who actually goes to Coachella. Are you trying to fucking EDM me, bitch? I mean, bro, do you really? I would rather see Calvin Harris than Muna. Like, let's be real. Oh, no, no. Well, I mean, that's apples and oranges. You have to pick a similar. So on Sunday. There's somebody named Fisher who's listed right after, you know, like fifth billing. Guaranteed Fisher will have a crowd twice the size of Calvin Harris. Who is Fisher? He's an Australian DJ. The same thing as Calvin Harris, just like good looking white dude. Oh, wait, is this the guy you told me about? Australian guy. But didn't he like start DJing late and he was like a normal bro? He was like a professional surfer dude in Australia. And then he was just like, I love partying so much. He was like a party guy.

He was a party guy, and he had this thing called Follow the Fish where he'd go to the beach and prank surfers. Yes, yes. And get wasted. Can you imagine? And he started coming to the club back in the day, and he would just be this legendary party guy. And then he's like, well, I'm already famous. I'll just start DJing. And now he's like one of the biggest DJs in the world. It's pretty cool to be like, I like partying so much that I'm just going to become a DJ because that's the number one career where you can party for a living with no repercussions. Yeah. I mean, literally, it's kind of part of the job. Yeah. And there's a staff of people to physically hold you up. I'm impressed. From falling on the floor. But how do you feel about your queen, the legend Bjork, opening for... known canceler frank ocean canceler well i mean he canceled shows so do you think maybe they put bjork because they know frank ocean's going to cancel and she can properly headline as she deserves look we got to start on the start this episode just has to be about the coachella and i'm now let's that is a great question and i intend to answer that but we need to start chronologically with friday bad bunny of course you could headline every three or all all days He could be the only band that plays, and it's fine. That's true. I fucking hate the gorillas. Who likes gorillas? It's honestly, I mean, obviously, they're wildly popular. Like, the stats are insane, but they're one of the least cool bands in eternity. Anybody you know who has never taken a risk in their life love gorillas. No, you're right. The gorillas are never going to let you astray. They're always going to be just like a nice groove. This is a groovy band. Check them out. And also, cartoons. I love animation. No, it's a guy that has two kids, a dog, an Audi Q3. Does pretty well. And I love pour-overs, man. I don't know. It's just different. The only thing I like about the gorillas is it's given Del, the funky homo sapien, a great revenue stream. The GOAT. Deltron 3030. Because he really is. Yeah, Deltron 3030. Classic. Deltron 3030 is a fucking classic. I banged that in the Accurate Legend. Hard. I would listen to that.

Back when I would watch skate videos, and right when I first started smoking weed, that record came out, and I was like, yo, hip-hop? I think I get it now. No, that's a great record. Burner Boy being the third. I didn't know Burner Boy was that big to be the third. I think Burner Boy is that big internationally. I don't know if Burner Boy is that big in Indio, California, but we're going to find it. Not in SoCal. Chemical Brothers. I don't think they should be on the fourth. Kate Trinata being fifth billing, it's also a letdown. They do this usually when they have a huge act like Bad Bunny headlining. The other performers on that day are usually kind of a... Oh, really? Like Kate Trinata being top billing. Blondie is a little... Blondie, Becky G, B2B is a little nuts. We're in our 40s, and we're too young to be Blondie fans. The average Blondie fan starts at 47, and we're too old to go to Coachella. But I would see Blondie at Mercury Lounge or Bowery Ballroom and think it was sick. I don't want to see her after Kaytranada, or before Kaytranada. I think if Blondie plays at 10 p.m., everyone's on Molly. And they're doing their disco-y vibes. And people are going to be like, it's almost as good as ABBA. Because ABBA is like a TikTok disco band now. I don't even know what Becky G sounds like. No one does. There's Metro Boomin. That record came and went. He's in his, quote, flop era, unquote. We got Pusha T. I know he's your favorite, bro. Yeah. What's FKG? FKJ. Or FKJ. It's not Twig. It's not Twigs, and it's not Father John Misty, so I don't know. FKJ is a French multi-instrumentalist. Oh, God. I pulled it up, and it's a white guy with dreads. That's right. Can you guess what FKJ stands for? I don't want to. Don't make me. French Kiwi Juice. What? Bro, what?

Okay, he's one of those people that does like a solo, like he's by himself, like an Ed Sheeran kind of thing. And he'll play a guitar line and then loop it with a pedal. And he'll bring up a dope beat on Ableton. So he's a nerd is what he is. French Kiwi Juice? Yeah, he is a nerd. It's crazy because basically on Friday after that first line, it gets into No Man's Land. Yeah, every Coachella does. And then it's stuff that I don't really know or I sort of know. Or it's like Youngblood is playing Coachella. We got Idris Elba DJing. That's sick. But I'm literally like, okay. I don't recognize. Magdalena Bay, Friends of the Pod, they're pretty high up. There's a DJ named Vintage Culture. I think Wes plays with them in Tulum. Can you think of a worse DJ? DJ Vintage Culture? That is insane. It's like when you go to some Balkan gift shop or a Chinese gift shop and the translation is lost. so much where you just get a shirt that says vintage culture or like yeah yeah yeah friendship sunshine yeah it's that it's that account it's that like t-shirt account and it's and it's probably a dude who has like some like highlighted streaks in and like wears like those like john lennon sunglasses but they have like blue lenses in them and like long like jack from twitter clothes no he's like hey what's up guys my name is vintage culture i'm really into vintage culture It feels like an American Eagle graphic tee from like 2007 to me as well. Oh, he's Brazilian. He's Brazilian. That doesn't excuse that. I'm sorry. It doesn't excuse it. This is getting so dark. We have to go to Saturday. We have to go to Saturday before I... No, come on. Come on. There's nothing left. I don't know a single one of these people. There's nothing to talk about. Well, we have... Bro, there's a guy DJing named Uncle Waffles. Uncle Waffles is a girl. How do you know who Uncle Waffles is? I'm a member of the hip hop community, bitch.

Also, playing right before, yeah, Over Mono. Loves those guys. Sleaford Mods. They're pretty something. Yeah, okay. I know Sleaford Mods. But, yeah, everything. Desert Cali Hula Bird Singers. Awesome. Lemgene's never been booked at Coachella, but. So you're saying that. You're saying that. When you look at this list as a popular kind of fixture of LA nightlife behind the decks, you're feeling, you read some of these names that you've never recognized, which is different as a member of the EDM community, and you're like, damn, it's pretty crazy that DJ Vim Jeans is not part of this mix. Throw me a bone. Throw me half a bone. Throw me a greenie stick or something, guys. And I thought we had a pretty good relationship with Golden Voice. One did, but that good relationship has been sullied. I see a lot of similarities between the Coachella lineup. And like SNL bookings, where it's just as time goes on, it just gets more and more separated from the original ethos to the point where... Well, I don't mind it. I mean, I don't mind it being... This ain't indie. It's not cool. Like, I understand it has to progress past that as it becomes sort of like a cultural institution. That's fine. Okay. But I still think it's... And also, each day seems to have a rough kind of declaration of the demographic. Like, Saturday is like... For the gays, kind of. Blackpink, Rosalia, Charlie XCX. Can you tell me who Eric Pritz is? He's goaded, bro. I know the name, but I'm not familiar with the music. He's just like European, like big room, kind of techno-y DJ guy. I don't know what Holo is, but it's probably going to be... A multimedia experience involving lights and lasers. And it's going to knock your socks off. So Holo is probably actually breaking even on Coachella with the production level that they're on. He's using it as a marketing tool. Boy Genius is playing, which means they probably have a new record coming out, which I've heard that. So I would say playing Coachella means that. You're going to be there in your supreme poncho for Suicide Boys, I hope. It's crazy how big Suicide Boys are.

how many fucking tickets they could sell it's crazy how big suicide boys are because i don't hear about them at all ever it's very uh it's very like uh insane clown posse kind of people like whoever you were friends with in school who like lit animals on fire now they've moved on That's who's going to be fucking tailgating. Bro, remember that kid who shot the cat with the BB gun? Yeah, it's that stuff. He's actually in Suicide Boys. It's crazy. Whoever smoked somebody's ashes on accident. Our triple OG, the Kid Leroy, our dog. Yeah, I mean, isn't that odd? Like, Kid Leroy, you know, maybe like... Biggest song on the radio of last year, you know, or like at least top two or three probably, right? Yeah, definitely. Oh, yes. Yeah, huge. The one with Bieber is huge. Build below Suicide Boys. That's how many fucking tickets they sell to the, I mean, to fucking, you know, people who huff. Yeah, I mean, they definitely. The huffing community cannot afford to sell tickets. Why does the Suicide Boys crowd, why do all the people in the Suicide Boys crowd have like silver noses? I don't really get it. Yeah, I mean. Kid Leroy, but Kid Leroy is also like. He's mainstreaming. Yeah, exactly. Charlie XCX. Queen. Pretty high up. I'm familiar with Labyrinth. I'm not. Underworld I'm familiar with, but I don't know the music. This is another one. Goated. This is another one I want to ask you about, Jason. Sophie Tucker. Sophie Tucker is lame. It's like a lame DJ. Okay. Because I've seen. sophie tucker around the name and it sounds like somebody that is like opening for jewel opening for margo price you know in nashville but i i okay but it's you're saying it's a dj actually it's a dj i don't know if it's like a duo or just one person okay but yeah it's just like cheesy edm shit remy wolf is an artist we've talked about before because i've heard some uh remy wolf kenny beats demos that blew my fucking mind okay Remy Beats. For the next album. That's a little tease. That's a How Long Gone tease. Friends of the show, Chromio, you already know. You already know Dave One's going to be slithering around that stage in his fucking Celine skinnies. Hopefully I'll share a golf cart with him.

this week this year jason jason in a golf cart with dave one he's gonna get a little a quick education in kind of sociology but we only have five minutes so i'm gonna make it quick uh tale of us good boring tech house dj guys another group of people who were jack from twitter style long garments it's called rick owens no no no this is like zara rick owens you know okay okay even though they could afford rick bro you're rocking zick owens uh and my boy lean lean needs to be higher come on i just don't know enough of these people's size like to understand but i don't i know lean lean sells a lot of tickets i know that i know that murrah masa i've seen before But I don't know anything about. It's just like boring lo-fi beats to study to. Okay, so I could get that. That's for when I'm at the coffee shop grinding. Urban Outfitters, break room music. Another person I've heard about a lot but never heard is 070 Shake. You've heard her before. No, I haven't. I've seen the name. I mean, I just don't. I just know that's not for me. No, no, it's not for you. Yeji is also cool. She's like a cute bedroom. Electronic music producer. But now, see, here we go. All right, so we're on line three now. Line three is where it gets good. Mark Rebele. I just don't know who these people are. It's crazy. I think my girlfriend's aunt is going to go see Mark at the Performing Arts Center. I mean. We have got Hiatus Coyote. Bro, this is insane. That's not real. And then Dinner Party. Who's named Dinner Party? Dinner Party's up there with Vintage Culture and Uncle Waffles. We need to do a bill that's Vintage Culture, Uncle Waffles, Dinner Party. kind of kenny beats could open and kenny beats on there elder brook also i think it's another like boring elder brooks but it's it sounds like a fucking exhaust company for my 68 chevy no it sounds like it's elder brook sounds like where like the neighborhood my girlfriend lived in in conures georgia that's what that sounds like that sounds like a southern neighborhood with 12 houses yeah we're thinking about moving out over to elder brook

You know, just kind of getting quiet. Elderbrook's in a great school district, and it's quiet, and there's a nice cul-de-sac. And Tim likes it because the fishing's pretty good. Actually, it's a man-made lake, but they did stock it with some large mouths. Good for Kenny to get billed over Flo Millie. No shade to Kenny, but I don't know. Flo Millie's pretty sick. Yeah, but that's not Kenneth Beetz. You know what I'm saying? It's different. I don't know. Snail mail way too low on this. No, snail mail should be. hiatus coyote and dinner snail mail should be second line i i would say on this all right revolution hot since 82 earth gang umi my favorite sushi restaurant atlanta is doing a set uh shinisi the breeders how are the breeders this far down what the fuck the breeders are how is ethel cane that far down ethel cane is huge Earth Gang is not that big, guys. No. Ethel Cain, Snail Mail, and The Breeders. Like, that's crazy. Yeah, Ethel Cain's sandwiched between Monolink and Bacar. Donovan's Yard is a pub I hope to visit one day. The Linda Lindas are bad, but I like that they exist. They're fine. The show's good. The show's good, but I'm not going to listen to that record. They were good live, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to listen to that record. Sunset Roller Coaster, another. How Long Gone Fest is shaping up nicely so far? I mean, these are all bands that couldn't get booked at the Venice Beach Day Festival. We need to create a playlist companion to this episode that's just our picks. Vintage Culture, Uncle Waffles, Dinner Party, Sunset Roller Coaster. Okay. We have room for two more names on that. Yeah, you're right. We'll find it. Horse Girl's pretty low down, too. I mean, Horse Girl's pretty popping. Great album. And DJ Tennis. Do you know DJ Tennis? Yeah, he cool. He cool. That's just kind of like druggy tech house. That sounds political, that response. No, no, no. I'm just kidding. I don't know enough about him. I like the name. I think he's just like...

Like proper, real DJ kind of vibe. Yeah. I'm not a faker. Yeah. I don't love that. I only love fake DJs. All right. Not like vintage culture. No, vintage culture is obviously playing vinyl only, and he's using rotary mixer, I hope. I mean, I pray. All right. We have everyone's favorite R&B songstress, Frank Ocean. Songstress. Will Frank Ocean show up? Will Frank Ocean cancel two weeks before? Who's to say? I think he'll show up. I think hopefully he brings out, you know, like brings Tyler out and Tyler is sort of like emotional support homie. We talked about this a lot in the group chat. I just think that headlining Coachella is a very interesting thing because you don't really need to sell tickets. Like Coachella is now this like cultural rite of passage for young people and the tickets will sell out if it's. if it's headlined by DJ Them Jeans, and that's no shots at you. That is true, but everyone would be up in arms if the headliner was not somebody who we were all confident could sell out a stadium themselves. No, no, of course. I mean, they're not going to do something stupid, but I just mean that like... That's the thing with a lot of these festivals of this level, like this, maybe Bonnaroo, maybe Lollapalooza. There's a handful where it doesn't really matter who's playing. If you can buy tickets to the festival before the lineup is announced, then you're no longer talent-driven. The event itself is the talent. My point is that Frank Ocean is a low risk. Like if he cancels, it doesn't really matter. People will be mad, but they also expect that from him a little bit, I think. So it's not like Golden Voice is going to be left holding the bag. Right. Like if Bad Bunny cancels or if Black Pig cancels, Indio will burn. No, 100%. Schools will be exploded. Nursing homes detonated. The police, martial law instilled. It's not okay. If Frank cancels, everyone will be like, yeah, I kind of saw that one coming. It's okay. I'll just listen to Nikes on the Way Home BMW 325. I need to talk to Dizza and see what the Vegas odds are for him canceling. This is good. Okay, this is a bet I want to get in on. Speaking of sports betting, go Dawgs. Go Dawgs.

What a blowout. They blew it out last night at a beautiful SoFi Stadium. Shout out to all. I was texting Andrews, actually, because the quarterback of the Dogs and his go-to receiver, their names, this is not a joke. Not a joke. Stetson and Ladd are these two guys' first names. And I said, Andrews, this sounds like a fucking gay couple that we would all know and not like. Stetson and Ladd, they either make They either make Stubbs and Wooten style slippers or they are an obnoxious gay couple that live in Atlanta and have a dog and a cat. It's just crazy to be named that. Stetson I kind of get because it has a flow to it. It has multiple syllables. It's named after an iconic gay cologne and hat from the 80s. But naming your son Lad. L-L-A-D-D. That's just crazy shit, bro. Opening for R&B songstress Frank Ocean, the legend Icelandic queen, a groundbreaking artist that we all respect and love, Bjork. Yeah, Bjork, I mean, it's tough because obviously I love Bjork so much, but, you know, Bjork in 2022, it's just kind of like, you know, you love the Smiths so much, but if you go see a Morrissey show, like, the wind could blow in such a way that you might not enjoy it, you know what I mean? Or any legacy band, like if they're not in the mood to play your favorite songs, they're going to play, you know, there's 700 Bjork songs that are just unlistenable, you know? And chances are they're going to be from her new album, not her old album. That being said, I will absolutely do Molly and watch Bjork. I'm having faith that Bjork delivers, honestly. I feel like Bjork could rise to the occasion and kind of play the hits. Hopefully Bjork is consulting with Queen Arca on a stage direction. Yeah, that's what we need. And hopefully Bjork will consult with Queen Them Jeans on a set list because, honey, I'll build it out for you. I know, you're good. Free of charge. All right, Callie Uchis. Uchis. Uchis. I had no idea she was this big. She's big, dude. I had no idea. In the Latinx community? Oh, mama. And also, I'm a fan. I think she's really talented. No, I know it's very popular. I knew she was popular and like, cool. I did not know it was like that, though. That's just impressive. Good for her. That's great. She's kind of like...

Latinx Del Rey in a lot of ways. She's beasting in the underground, and the fandom is Rabid. Rabid. Rabido. Me llamo Rabid. Porter Robinson, one of my favorite NBA players. No, it's David Robinson. He's coming off the bench for the Sixers. I mean, he's up for six-man for me. It's funny because he does have the name of an NBA player, but he's also like a very like. small, cute, indie kind of artist. Like, I'm just a little boy who makes my little music. I knew he was pretty popular. But he's pretty popular. He does a good visual show. That's the thing for a lot of these acts. Like, if you spend time on your stage production and, like, your visuals and you really create something, like how Eric Pritz is going to present. holo like whatever that is like yeah yeah that'll get you booked that'll get a couple extra m's in the bank if you're like oh i built i built this like ai robot that like flies over the crowd they're like cool your music fucking sucks dick but here's uh 750k that is what coachella is about because everyone's on drugs and it's cold at night and they don't really care what they're listening to i don't know what you're talking about chris lake who's chris lake so he he plays what country artist is chris lake He does have the name of a country artist. Is Chris Lake the keyboard player in Rascal Flatts and no one told me? I mean, there's a lot there. I mean, you being named Chris, I don't know. There's something there. Chris Lake is like the name of the water feature at the Grove. He's a DJ. He's a fellow kind of regular white guy DJ who often plays a lot. with fisher oh so that's they're kind of two peas in a pod yeah yeah yeah okay so yeah they're really going to bring the flavor together i'm assuming yeah okay great uh a boogie a boogie no longer with the hoodie he's taking the hoodie off um apparently uh but i i don't know i i don't i didn't i knew a boogie was this big i'm not sure a boogie show is this big um but we'll see all right of all the rappers to book next up we got dominique fike um

sony music's biggest loss leader uh in in 2020 20 between 20 and 2022 but uh he's the peloton of sony music i mean he's really hot and um he does date uh another hottie hunter schaefer um he's on euphoria so he doesn't i mean he's he's goaded for dating hunter 1000 he really is so it doesn't really matter yeah that should be that should be dominique dominique dominic fike's bio dominic fike it doesn't really matter it's just a big picture so what do you what exactly do you do i love his story like he's got it's it's really i have a cool earring and i'm fucking hunter schaefer yeah cool all right enough said cool those jeans are nice bro come on in um um i i i think that he jay paul jay paul is is jay paul is Now, I understand this to some extent. It's somebody who put out a record anonymously and then disappeared, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of like if Kate Renata and Burial had a baby. It's a little bit of that. But he sings, too, right? Yeah. And he became very infamous and elusive and mysterious, and people are huge fans of that record that came out and blew everyone away. Is it good? I've listened to it, I think. It didn't really get me too hard. It was cool and all, but it was kind of like when the first MIA record came out, and you're like, what is this sound? The whole thing sounds different. So, like, that was, like, an iconic moment. I see. Okay. It didn't really sound like anything else ever. And it was, like, this unique bedroom, like, homegrown feel. But I think since then, I don't know. And I think he's on, like, Warp or XL or, like, a cool label, too. No, it seems like a very cool thing. But I think it's cool because, like, he put out something great and then disappeared. So, no one – I mean, if you don't have to follow anything up. So, he'll be booked forever. Yeah, you can do this. Jackson Wang. Who is – he's a Hong Kong rapper.

Yeah. He's also a fashion designer as well as a music video director. Can you guess what the name of his record label is? I hope it's Wang Rex, but... It's called Team Wang. Okay, can you guess what... He's the lead designer and the creative director for his own fashion brand. Do you know what his fashion company is called? Team Wang? Team Wang Design. Okay. So this guy's killing it. We're making fun of him because he's the cheesiest dude of all time. This guy's fucking killing it. This guy's so big. He's so rich. He's so big. No, it's crazy. Next up, speaking of big, my girl Big Lotto in the building. Now we're talking. This is, okay. Lotto. We got a nice little run here. We got Big Lotto, The Blaze. I'm proud of Lotto. I'm proud of Lotto, too. But more importantly. Also, The Blaze, another infamous one that came out with that one song. Everyone fucking. Amazing. The best video. Amazing video, yeah. One of the best music videos of all time. Willow. Okay. Well, you know. God, I was listening to a song, a Pink Panthera song, and it had Willow on it. And you could just tell that Willow sent her a DM and said, like, Like, my dad will fax you a million dollars right now if you let me go in one of your goofy little songs kind of thing. And it's like a normal song where it's like a cute jungle beat, like Heaven by Marc Jacobs music. And then Pink Panther is singing like, and I saw you outside my window and you're looking so cute and I want to go to the mall with you. And then like the second verse is Willow like, like it sounds like Poison the Well. No, Willow has gone full. poison the well mode and it's also like she's like a rocker that has like i feel bad willow is so bad oh like pull out poster in alternative press is the vibe and she dresses like a mall goth it's really strange damn willow poison the well mode is really poison the willow Damn, bro. I can't wait to see them. I mean, I feel bad roasting a teen, but still. I don't. Gainesville Fest is going to be lit this year. All right. Next up, another How Long Gone favorite, Memphis' own Glorilla. Love Glorilla. Way to go. Way to glow. Love Glorilla. She's truly an original and deserves this more than most of these people. Jay Wolf. We got Jay Paul and Jay Wolf on the same day. Boris Brayshaw.

I've got to look up Boris Brescia. That looks like some Antwerp 6 dark clothing designer. Hold on, hold on. I've got to look up Boris Brescia. I think he's a DJ. Okay, he's a German DJ who does high-tech minimal. And he seems... Damn, he's 41 years old. And he seems to wear a curious mask. so you're okay so you're saying oh my god i gotta mask that he wears are you saying he's like marshmallow or like what do we no no no he's wearing like a like a French Victorian court jester's mask. Oh, my God. Okay. Oh, wow. And it has these spikes coming out of it, and the spikes have musical notes. It's like sheet music. Guys, I can't implore you enough to look this up when you listen to this part of the episode. Yeah, Boris, B-R-E-J-C-H-A. It's absolutely worth it. It looks like If Eyes Wide Shut. No, it literally looks like a Joker playing card. Like, literally, that's what it looks like. Yeah, he looks like the Joker, but not from the Batman series, just from cards. From the cards? How does he wear his headphones? Well, he must have an apparati. You know how the Germans are? No, they're very inventive. They're great with sound. He did some tinkering. Too many DJs. That seems like a TJ classic, right? Yeah, they're always up for a party. They're always going to do a fine job. But it makes you wonder at what point. Does it become too vintage culture? Like the average Coachella attendee wasn't even alive when too many DJs were thriving. Yeah, but these, you know how it is. These booking agents, it's got to be five for you, one for me. You know what I mean? True that. Christine and the Queens. I actually like Christine and the Queens. And I'm not surprised they're billed here because it's not. She coo. Ray Shrem is low down, bro. This is what I'm the most excited about. the return of Srem Life because I love... We need it. Srem Life 2 is... Classic. ...is essential listening as well. Mike Will made it, had a mixtape that had a few little more like kind of curveball experimental Srem products, projects. When they were firing from All Cylinders... It was crazy. Excellent club music. They had a great run. It's not on the level of Rick Ross' run, but they had a very good kind of like...

two or three years, it was just like they had smacks. And they're so little. They're the tiniest little boys. They're very little. 85 pounds soaking wet. And then it gets into, yeah, then Wise Blood, Alex G, two great artists. That makes sense. You think Alex G would be higher? I think Alex G... I mean, the record's unreal. I listen to it every fucking day. It's so good. But I think it's still a grower, maybe, tickets-wise. Are you excited for DPR Live plus DPR Ian? Yeah, those are two. Live and Ian are two of my favorite DPRs. I had to Google that. Okay, DPR Live, DPR Ian. Google will say people also ask. Is DPR Live the same as DPR Ian? Hong Da Bin, born in 1993, better known by his stage name, DPR Live, is a South Korean rapper and singer. Along with Ian, Cream, and Rem, Hong founded the label Dream Perfect Regime, all whom attached the label's acronym DPR to their names. Okay. So it's DPR Live. So that means his name is live? You're like, what's up? I'm Ian. I'm a Korean guy named Ian, and I'm a Korean guy named Live. Live is cool. And we're going to perform our music for you. Live is cool. Who is Stick Figure? DPR Live is probably like an Overwatch player that's decided to make music. It does feel gamer tag. Stick Figure. I've got to look up Stick Figure. Oh, no. It's an American reggae dub band based in Southern California. How many people are white in Stick Figure? Oh, they're all white, baby. Chris, don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to. You know that they're all white. The newest, if you go to their website, sickfigure.com, first of all, they had a great Black Friday sale where you get 30% off. 33% off. Site-wide, and you get a free sticker pack. And then, of course, they were featured on High Times. Yeah, no, I mean, that's... For their new record's called Wisdom. I mean, there's a lot to learn from their music. That's going to take me on a fucking journey. Adam Beyer, Big Wild, MK, Cannons, our girl Romy. Oh, yeah, go Romy. We go Romy. Who the fuck is Gordo? That better not be, what's his name, the fat DJ. It definitely is. No, it can't be. I think he got... No, no, no, Gordo is...

He's featured on the Latin cardio playlist on Spotify. Okay. His biggest song is called Hombres y Mujeres. What does that mean? I think it means like boys and girls. Okay. That's a classic kind of call and response. It could be a cover of a popular song from La Banda Blur. Are you familiar with the band Blur? Blur. Yeah, it means like men and women. Okay. Boys and girls. No, I got it. It's an awesome song. Pierre Bourne is, damn, this is sad. Pierre Bourne. Pierre Bourne is low. Well, we skipped over Sasha and Digweed, classic 90s EDM artist. Oh, did we? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sudan Archives having a big year. People love that record. People really love it. Yeah, that's right. People love it. Is Knocked Loose a hardcore band? It has to be. If your name is Knocked Loose... Yeah, they're a hardcore band. Okay, cool. That's cool. Oh, wait. I think we found the new one for the How Long Gone lineup. Camel Fat. Camel Fat. Camel Fat is another DJ. With a PH. Camel Fat with a PH. Jesus Christ. IDK. I don't know. Sasha Alex Sloan. which sounds like just like a hot Jewish chick. She's on the new Gossip Girl. Moreau? I don't know. Bro, it's getting to the point where they're putting numbers down here now. 1999 period odds. I've got to look that up. 1999 period odds. If you type that in, it just says 1999 NFL preseason odds. That's ungoogleable. I'm getting pissed now. All right. Pierre Bourne, Cassian. Cassian is a friend of mine. Yeah, I thought so. He's the homie. Joy Crooks, Tissa, L. Michael's Affair, legendary backing band. Tissa's pretty good, too. She's a cool DJ. L. Michael's Affair, yeah, classic. They're going to do awesome at 11, 15 a.m. on Sunday. Yeah, yeah. Paris, unless they bring out Ghostface or something. Paris, Texas.

LPGB. Mama. Oh, another. Yeah, good for Mama. Love our fam over at Mama Industries. Great to see them here. Ali Sethi, Minus the Light. That's a Christian band for sure. Los Bitches. Bitchos. Bitchos. Bitchos. Connexion Divina. And another band I've never heard of. And then returning to the desert, Calvin Harris. Calvin. Honestly. This is bad. This is pretty bad, I feel like. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of great bands playing, but overall, I feel like it's pretty bad. Yeah. I mean, Coachella has reached a point where it is just unwieldy. You can't control it. And luckily, Galden Voice is aware of this, and they've taken the time to do some smaller, more specialized... great festival lineups you know yeah but i just find that i i guess i just feel like and maybe this is my bias because i'm not like an electronic music person but i feel like when they do like get cool and experimental on the lineup it's always some like dj shit yeah um verse you know which is maybe that's like the history of coachella and that makes sense and i just i'm not aware of that yeah it is um but i i just that stuff doesn't interest me at all so it feels like it's crazy to me that I can look at this and not recognize more than half the names on a lineup this big. I remember being in my mid-20s and priding myself that I would read the Coachella lineup, and out of the 100 acts, I would maybe not know one or two. I think in this case, obviously I have a lot of blind spots I'm not all-knowing, but I think when it comes to that genre particularly, I'm just like, who, bro? But luckily for all of us, we have them genes to kind of translate. all of the EDM gobbledygook that Golden Voice has decided to pile on the Coachella lineup. That being said, Golden Voice, we'll let you know which day that we want our kind of artist passes for. Do you think you're going to go back? Much like Calvin Harris, will Chris Black be returning to the desert? Honestly, if there was a headliner I really liked, maybe. I mean, the fact that we got to see Spiritualized, Phoebe, and...

harry styles in one day the bases are covered for you i i think i'll i really want to see i mean i don't care about bad bunny like his music is just there you know it's just it's not even real music it's just the same yeah yeah and then yeah i don't care about any of it i would love to see rosalia because she probably put on my favorite show that i saw last year the spectacle of i mean do i want to see black pink Yeah, but do you want to see her there? I would love a Blackpink, Rosalia Bjork. I'm all set on this. You're going to have to wheel me out in a wheelchair, Chris. All the stuff I want to see is too small. Oh, Scowl's playing too. That's a hardcore man. All this stuff is too small. I would rather see them in a club. All the bands I like on this lineup are better. You need more of a grande spectacle. Yeah, exactly. All right. Well, the How Long Gone Coachella lineup world in review. Chris said, call me when they book El Chapo. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's literally what I'm saying. It's a real shit. I just, yeah. I mean, I think it's just. Oh, you book Bad Bunny? I book El Chapo. What's good now? How Long Gone Fest, headlined by El Chapo with vintage culture, Uncle Waffles. We're coming to a city near you. We're going to take this shit on the road. Unfortunately, El Chapo's new shit, not as great as he kind of wanted to be after his last one. But he can sell tickets. We know that. He still has so many bops. El Chapo's got hella bops. Golden voice, I hope you're listening. All right. How Long Gone? Thank you for joining us on this beautiful, I'm just kidding, it's absolutely awful outside, Tuesday, and we'll be back this week with more podcasts. Yeah, and a blessing that our guests decided to not talk to us instead of talk to us because now we get to have a Coachella episode. This is what the people really want. Okay, and thank you guys for buying our merchandise. I think it's all sold out now, and we'll be shipping it out to you post-haste, and we have some...

some grande announcements coming in like two days so stay stay tuned to our socials bye
