Yeah there does seem to be a lot of rap, and a lot of different kinds of rap. 2 Chainz is the best.
"2 Chainz but I got me a few on..."

I'm guessing 50% reading this thread don't know this, Jello Biafra was the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys. He also testified against the PRMC in the mid 80s, along with Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and John Denver. He's been fighting for free speech in music longer than most of you have been alive. That little annoying "Parental Advisory" label on album covers came from the PRMC, which was basically a bunch of rich house wives married to famous politicians who decided to do something other than watch soaps all day.
He's sort of a big deal, and a complete lunatic live. He's worth at least 15 minutes of your time at Coachella.

From my brief research it looks like the Femmes haven't played since 2007. That is pretty sweet. Imma go nuts during Blister in the Sun.

I'm a big fan of both The Stone Roses and blur, but can more than 25% of Coachella attendees name a song from either band that isn't "Song 2"? I understand the prestige associated with booking these acts, but how excited will the crowd be to see "I Wanna Be Adored" - or just a Stone Roses' set in general?

Is now too early to try to convince womp he'll like Nick Cave/Grinderman even though we know he'll hate it, then we'll be surprised when he comes back and says he actually likes it, and everyone looks at each like, "I didn't see that coming." I'm not a fan of Nick Cave at all. Go listen to Murder Ballads if you haven't. I have a feeling you'll like that one.

This was definitely not worth losing sleep over. Undercard is pretty amazing though.

Tons of bands I'm stoked to see (both for the first time, or again), a handful I could do without, and a bunch that I'm stoked to get to research over the next couple weeks while I'm stuck on the couch.
Super stoked about Sigur Ros since their set was cut short for me at Osheaga but I was blown away.. I wont be missing that. And the postal service! and maybe I'll break another foot at DKM.
Could do without RHCP... saw them with shax a couple months back and was more or less underwhelmed. Really can't see them as a headliner for anything.

Nick Cave on the second line for two separate days on a festival that targets people in their early to mid 20's?! Unbelievable. The fact that you think Coachella targets people in their early to mid 20s is more unbelievable.

Alright, I'm getting happier. The EDM is off the chain this year. Moby, Prydz, Simian, Oakenfold...
Jurassic 5 back together is fucking awesome. Lou Reed will be great. FUCKIN FOALS!
YYY's, Postal Service, Hot Chip, Sigur Ros, Two Door Cinema Club, New Order, OMD, La Roux, Grimes, Gaslight are all really great.
I guess I'm alone on this one, but Phoenix is my favorite headliner.

I really, really hope they are at Sasquatch, but I'm not betting on it. I'm a big fan of both The Stone Roses and blur, but can more than 25% of Coachella attendees name a song from either band that isn't "Song 2"? I understand the prestige associated with booking these acts, but how excited will the crowd be to see "I Wanna Be Adored" - or just a Stone Roses' set in general? Everybody know Parklife, but you probably have a point with the Stone Roses. The only Stone Roses song I know by heart is the one that is in guitar hero.

Stone Roses' self titled album is one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. I never thought I would EVER experience it live. I for one, am ridiculously pumped.

OMD! OMG! I'm so fucking fucking jealous!!!
Architecture and Morality and Dazzle Ships are hands down two of the greatest new wave, and for that matter simply greatest, albums ever made. What's a CHUD to do? Anybody want to buy a kidney?

Saw the Femmes play the Bite of Oregon in 2005. Anyone who has yet to see them will not be disapoint.

I really hope Modestep is playing live and not a dj set.
