As I've texted Paul Toilet earlier tonight, if you know nothing of Nick Cave, spend 12 minutes listening to "More News From Nowhere," followed by "No Pussy Blues." Then you'll understand the lyrical genius of Nick Cave on the former, and the dirty scratchy rock of Grinderman on the belt sander. The Live Seeds album is basically a greatest hits, so I would recommend listening to the studio version of each song on that album. Those are his songs stuck in my head at all times. The Bad Seeds' greatest hits comp is one of maybe half a dozen (Simon & Garfunkel Greatest Hits, The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Boingo Alive, a couple others) of its kind that is great enough to stand on its own. Y'all know my stance on Greatest Hits comps, but that one is genius.

If anyone wants to get weird and sweaty with me really early in the day on Saturday, check out Huoratron, who I've dug for a few years.

Real talk. Didn't realize "Gone Daddy Gone" was a Violent Femmes song. Totally thought it was Cee Lo and Danger Mouse originally. Whoops.

Also, I've been waiting for years for an excuse to try to digest the Sparks discography. That's a very Coachella get. Sparks, Descendents, Dead Can Dance - very Coachella bands.

I'm going to be digging into a lot of bands in the next few months, OMD being one. Where to start?

Passes on sale Tuesday, regular passes are sold out. Looks like GA + Shuttle passes are available and they have a new thing combining passes and camping spots that look like they are available.
Honestly with this lineup, I don't think it will be a challenge to get tickets on the secondary market. They have already dropped about $50 on stubhub since yesterday.

I would definitely have to go with Architecture and Morality. Joan of Arc and Maid of Orleans are beautiful representations of all that was right with new wave.
Dazzle Ships is probably front to back my favorite 80's album. A mix of the melodic romanticism OMD is most famous for (see The Romance of the Telescope and Silent Running) coupled with the quirky greatness of ABC Auto-Industry and Genetic Engineering.
and for you drew, this little nugget
OMD is so much more than If You Leave.

I am just glad they are continuing the tradition of resurrecting a dead musician for a holographic performances. Last year it was Tupac, this year we get Lou Reed.

Is Lou Reed really that bad live these days? That's one of the sets I'm most excited for. Never seen him before.

As long as he's not with Metallica he should be fine.

Grinderman put on such an epic show when they came to the King Cat in Seattle. I am very jealous that you Coachella attendees get to see that! Fucking radical.

Womp turned into an internet meme last night.
1. "Give me the damn lineup already. You owe it to me! This is ridiculous!" 2. "What the fuck, this lineup sucks!" 3. "Hey, this lineup is actually pretty good."

Upon review this lineup makes me feel like I should have gone on the Coachella boat.

I figure theres enough bands that I really like, plus I never really make it to headliners anyway, plus I'm going to have a blast no matter what.
