As I muttered on Twitter, they missed a trick -- get Interpol to join, they do "Take You On a Cruise," theme song taken care of.

E & I fucked up. NYC ain't got nothing on Jarvis trapped on a boat with us. ;_;

I want to go on a Pulp cruise. Sun, sea, and wry self-loathing!

Mad dogs, Englishmen and brostep oh wait.

kinda sounds like the worst thing ever

From Twitter:

The Coachella Cruise sounds like an Irwin Allen film waiting to happen

Harvey!!

A supposedly fun thing I don't want to do in the first place. ...Actually sounds like a sort of indie rock Branson, Missouri experience.

**googles**

Fuck me, this is actually a thing?

how did that Weezer Cruise turn out? Not a total disaster, I guess?

i had a great time on the Bruise Cruise

i would do one of these again in a heartbeat if the lineup was right

I keep reading the thread title as "Coachella – the curse."

Appropriate, I'd say.

i would absolutely see harvey on a boat

Nice winter sun holiday for members of Pulp and Hot Chip, avoiding a grim British autumn / winter.

lol @ jarvis cocker being on a cruise ship

I wish Goldenvoice would hire a new graphic designer. That poster...

that is enough bands for one day, not seven

also LOL @ jason bently

Stolen from elsewhere, posted for greatness:

Wow!

In this country ATP improved festivals by setting them in a holiday camp.

In the US they've improved festivals by setting them on a cruise ship in the Caribean.

They win.

they'd organise it then the boat company would say they hadn't been booked. then the boat company wouldn't actually exist. Then it would just be a man with a banjo on a dinghy.

this is the future & I was gonna say "and boy is Whiney gonna hate it" except Whiney is v. pro-cruise

Cruises are awesome

I had fun on the one I was on, but I don't think I'll feel inspired to go on another until the phrase "weed cruise" yields more concrete results than stoners thinkin' out loud on grasscity.com

Waiting for the wacky hijinks when the NRO Cruise, the weed cruise and the Coachella cruise are all booked on the same boat.

don't forget the Saw cruise

Carnival told me my "cruise for people who don't like being around other people, especially not people they don't know" was a nonstarter. Fuckin assholes

Sign of the Coachella times... The only photographs I could find of this (since it's going on right now) was on a Racked blog: http://la.racked.com/archives/2012/12/19/all_aboard_seven_snaps_from_coachellas_crazy_cruise_ship.php
