These are killing me...
Cut Copy/Magnetic Man/Beardyman/Crystal Castles/Monarchy
Robyn/Sasha
Chemical Brothers/Flogging Molly/Boys Noize
Shpongle/One Day as a Lion
Animal Collective/Empire of the Sun
Caspa/CSS
Jimmy Eat World/HEALTH/High Contrast
The Strokes/Chromeo/Ratatat/Chase & Status
Leftfield/Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77
Kanye West/The Presets
7 OUT OF MY TOP 10 ARE DIRECTLY CONFLICTING WITH EACH OTHER. I'm in such a depressed mood right now. And The Chemical Brothers vs. Boys Noize is arguably the most idiotic conflict ever made in the history of festival booking.

I can't stress this enough haha Brutal, eh? Though, I should feel so fortunate to have such things to complain about. As excited as I am to see Animal Collective, I truly feel I can easily catch half of their set and then dance my way into the Empire of the Sun set. I know I will likely never get a chance to see them again.

Wow, that is a total dagger. Chem Bros vs. Boyz Noize....man that doesnt make any sense at all.
I'm just.....fuck. What is the thought process behind putting them on the main stage? How does that make any sense? Kings Of Leon into the Chem Bros? What the fuck?

Just going over more of the schedule after my initial shock...what a hot mess. There are at least 5 or 6 times that I have honestly no idea what I'm going to do with myself. Fuck sakes.

I will say, the one saving grace in the epic Friday fuckup is that I'll be able to take my time getting in so I can catch The Rural Alberta Advantage at 1:15, followed by 3 straight hours of insanity in the Sahara. Excision > Skrillex > OFWGKTA..... Holy bawwwwwlz!!!

And yes, despite the Skrillex backlash on the Coachella forum, I am looking forward to his set quite a bit. I'm just a horrible horrible electronic fan I guess...

I'm kind of choked because I wanted to have one epic night in the sahara, and now it looks like I'll be at the mainstage every night. Bummer.
Man, those people on the coachella forum are straight up EDM snobs. Listen to what makes you happy, who cares what anyone else thinks. It's not a contest.
I'll definitely be there for the Excision > Skrillex womp fest though. Ha ha, two huge wompers in the middle of the afternoon while not on any drugs....should be an awesome time!

Hahaha I hear that! Last time I saw Excision I had a decent buzz and it was fantastic. I'll probably down a few shots before he takes the stage.
Yea...I'm pretty shocked that likely none of my nights will end in the Sahara either, but the Chems on the new mainstage with their current setup will be legendary. As long as I can catch a few night time Sahara acts over the weekend I'll be happy.

This is going to be the performance of Animal Collective's career, and you're going to miss half of it? For The Fake Flaming Lips?

It's all about opportunity for me this year. Animal Collective is a much easier act to catch in the states than EotS, so I think splitting the sets is more than acceptable.

Yeah but the stage show for animal collective will be refuckingdiculous and never duplicated.
Black keys/crystal castles/monarchy/cut copy/magnetic man/beardyman.... A fucking all stage conflict for me.
Cold war kids/kele/sleigh bells... Seen kele, and the other two are at Sasquatch
Warpaint/morning benders
!!!/black Joe Lewis .... Guess !!! Will have to wait till may
Arcade fire/marky .....I've been wanting to see marky for years
AC/empire/Raphael saadiq/pvd/Andy c .....I think empire and the two djs lose out in this one
BSS/cage the elephant/pornographers/yelle/laidback luke/elbow ....fuck
Gogol bordello/tallest man/foals
Bombs estero/freelance whales/trampled by turtles
Kanye/presets
Strokes/chromeo/Ratatat/chase and status/phantogram..... God dammit
DFA/foster the people/high contrast/NAS.. Gonna probably have to miss HC to get a good spot for DFA
City and Colour/CSS/zinc
Menomena/plan b/twin shadow
This festival will test my cardio

Let it be noted, depending on how amazing the set really is along with my mindset, there of course is a possibility of me catching the entire AC set.

Wow that coachella message board is full of assholes. Music snobs galore. Read this article and maybe a few more people will realize why an eots show is a must-see. blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2011/03/empire_of_the_sun_at_ultra_mus.phpIll admit conflicting with animal collective is a major bummer. If I was going to coachella this year I would be glad that I was in shape cause there are so many bands I would want to see in such a small time period on each day.

Fuck that. People are so suckered in by costume changes and 'antics'. Empire of the Sun is fucking terrible. Animal Collective is in contention for being one of the best studio bands AND live acts in the entire world and they are obviously taking it to the next level AND the level after that for Coachella this year. Anyone who would skip that for "purely ornamental LED-lit instruments" is a sucker.

Call me a sucker I guess?
