Another possible option for how Goldenvoice can make up for Lou Reed's cancellation I want to throw out there is
DAFT PUNK. Just let me explain before you tell me to fuck off please. My gut says this one is really real. We all know that like Bowie, Daft Punk is one of the most rumored and hoped for Coachella artists every year during lineup speculation and this year was no exception. So here are my reasons to support their appearance as a possibility:
1. All those
mysterious commercials,
billboards and wheat paste signs popping up over all over the place the last few weeks that offer no information other than the iconic helmets and a brief sample of new music in the TV commercials. That marketing was successful in its mission to get us all hot and bothered about what it means by withholding.
2. As of just two days ago, on Monday, the meaning behind those hauntingly vague ads was revealed when it was announced that Daft Punk
is dropping a new album, Random Access Memories, on May 21st. Three months out from when the ads began to surface is a little early to start hyping it, no?
Wait, there's more...
