The thing I love about Coachella is that aside from the festival circuit bands, they get a handful of rare acts that no one else in the US even really tries for. The best shows last year included Atoms for Peace, The Specials and Fever Ray. I can't wait for this years lineup to be announced.

True that. Every year I find out about a band that is legendary that I had never heard of until they reunite at Coachella. Throbbing Gristle. Sven Vath. And I also find out there's a huge following for a band I thought was on the margins.

yeah, and sasquatch never gets bands that coachella hasnt had or doesnt have. the converse exists in perpetual truth. but thats only cool if you can actually see the stage which is way easier up north.

I think KOL should come back and headline the yeti to make up for the incredible waste of time that was their '09 spot. They're much better on a smaller stage sans the misleading light show.

It was shocking when they headed Sasquatch, but I can't believe they've gone on to do Bonnaroo and all these other big festivals. They are just a hair above Nickleback in terms of musicality and lyrics.

I'd put them light years ahead of Nickelback, but they're definitely getting closer. Their fan bases are starting to look a lot alike as well.

In '09 I camped next to a guy who said/ranted at least 3 times that "kings of Leon are the best live band in the world. They sound exactly like their albums"
Enough said.

Kings of Leon suck. Big time. They achieve a level of suck that is reserved for the Lords of Suck like Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson and, yes, Nickelback.
Examine the situation, topspin: you enjoyed their set at Sasquatch? Maybe, but more likely you just enjoyed Sasquatch and those assclowns happened to be there.

Looks like Coachella could be the last live performance of Menomena. The weakest link left the band, but the others will continue playing out their current booked shows, with Coachella being the final one (so far). It would be neat if they played Sasquatch before breaking up though.

It would be awesome to have menomena and wolf parade before they dissolved.

I've lived in Portland since the month 'I Am the Fun Blame Monster' came out and I have failed to see them live every fucking time they have played in that span. I hate myself for this.
