Oh what the fuck ok how can I get myself to this thing! Let's think.

Is anyone here a pimp looking for someone to whore? Sell my body is a good plan A, right?

I just saw this on Stereogum!

Shat myself at the DFA1979 thing (had they announced getting back together before this or is this the first anyone's heard of that?), and obviously dying to see Titus, but unlike other years there is like literally nothing else that leaps out at me.

I like thinking this is the first anyone's heard anything about the DFA thing. Their website still has the "we're no longer a band" thing as the most recent post from 2006, I didn't read anything anywhere. Today is also the first time I've heard "so the rumours are true" so I guess maybe I'm just out of the DFA loop but yeah, completely unexpected for me.

Guys I would only have to spend a whole month's rent and skip the first two days of exams to make this! And magically summon a reliable form of transportation! It's not that much of a long shot, right?

Stereogum says $296 for the three-day pass, before booking fees and etc.

Yeah I realised that literally seconds after pushing "Submit". That being said, it'd only really be in the picture for Sebastien. As far as I can tell MSTRKRFT is way bigger than DFA1979 are or were or probably will be in the future. They have deep penetration in the bro market.

DFA1979 are no Smiths, but festivals will apparently pay good money for reunions.

Dudes and ladies that are going: It looks like Thunderball are playing on Sunday!

Thunderball are pretty damn groove-tastic. Didn't know they were still around, though. So go see them, and I'll be jealous on the east coast.

I take a bit of indie-hipster pride in the fact that not only do I know many of the tiny-font bands, I actually like most of them.

Woo, I'm cool!

I was actually suggesting one possible motive for the sudden re-emergence of DFA1979.

ha ha, you're kidding right? like the sebastian granger mountain band or whatever the fuck would ever run out of cash

dunno when this was but towards the end most of their shows were packed houses. i guess when you have serious coke problems though food winds up low on the priority list.

i should also mention that the dfa1979 guys are total dicks, but whatever, their one record was genuinely great, so good for them if they can put aside their differences and make some not-shitty music again

Separated at birth?

Beyond their social connections and their mutual worship of "Aerodynamic"... There are probably other similarities. I don't know if the DFA1979 dudes have ever punched anybody out.

DFA1979: YES to money
Quote
SOME WORDS

It's been 5 years since Death From Above 1979 played a show, 10 years since Jesse played me the first demos & 11 years since we sat in his parents basement and played so loud we knocked the china off the shelves upstairs. 11 seems to be a YES number for me. Though I am usually a pretty rational guy, if I have something on my mind and I see an 11 somewhere, I know I’m on the right path. It’s one of my last remaining superstitions. 2011 has a nice ring to it & if you’re so inclined, it may be the last year ever! So why not say YES? Why not say YES to Coachella? Why not say YES to playing the music we designed to be an undeniable source of power? Why not say YES to stirring up a writhing pit of sweaty humans? YES to riots! YES to heavy music! YES instead of maybe, and YES to make death your adviser and remind yourself always, that this is not a dress rehearsal. This is the big show.

Jesse and I have decided that what we can do together should not be denied.
Together again, as was always the intention, as a collaboration.
The collision of two different worlds.
As this all takes shape, we will reveal it to you.
All of it happening, as it always has, in our own way.
Thank you all for sharing in our excitement!

Yes.
