    IF .............. If I was going .... this is who I would be excited to see.

    Death Cab
    Love & Rockets (nice choice for a reunion)
    The Breeders
    The National
    Metric (Emily is crazy on stage, they put on a great live set)
    Autolux
    DeVotchKa (seeing them at hte Fillmore before they head to Coacella)
    Rilo Kiley
    Holy Fuck (seriously, saw them here a few months ago, mostly instrumental indie rock, lots of energy).
    Man Man
    Sons & Daughters
    Vampire Weekend
    Gogol Bordello
    Stars

    I initially wasn't that upset about missing this year's festival ... went the previous 5 years, and thought this lineup was kind of weak. But, now that it's drawing closer, I know I'm certianly going to miss the vibe, the event itself ....

    Going up against Jack Johnson ... I'm thinking it may be 20,000 people in the Sahara .... I know that's where I'd be!

    One thing I will say .... the Coachella board is REALLY quiet the week before the event ...

    It's the day when the set times were announced and the front page of the "Lineup/Artists" thread has only half a page of updated threads today.

    Usually, that thing would be buzzing today .... it's been dead for a while over there. I'm thinking this is going to be the least attended Coachella in years .... which, for you that are already going, is awesome.

    I actually decided against going this week. Dredg is who I'd be most excited to see, but it's just not a killer lineup that I'm dying to see. Too many of the bands are spread across the three days that I'd like to see and I don't feel like it's worth spending three days out there.

    Plus this week Dredg is having a little CA pre Coachella tour. And I'll be catching that last show in San Luis Obispo on Thursday night, before their final show before hitting the studio again at coachella. I'd much rather spend $18 total after charges for their headlining set than have a $600 weekend in Coachella this year for the few extra bands that I'd want to see. There's just nothing there that I'm dying to see. But it still looks like fun for those that are going.

    I think I'm going to do the Outside Lands festival instead this year.

    I'd seriously consider going just Saturday since they added Prince, but I'm going to skip this year.

    However, if I were attending?

    Friday - Vampire Weekend, Racounters, Spank Rock, Fatboy Slim.

    Saturday - Prince, Rilo Kiley, M.I.A., Dwight Yoakam.

    Sunday - Roger Waters, MMJ, Grand Ole Party, Gorgol Bordello, Holy Fuck.

    Good point! JJ has his merits, but his mellowness may be too much of a sleep-inducer after a full day in the sun!

    It will be interesting to see how crowded it is this year....most of the music geeks I know are passing on it this year.

    There's lots of great bands on the list, but ouch those set times seem very short. I wish festivals would have less bands and allow for full setlists.

    Either way I'm sure Roger will put on a full show, and those unfamiliar with Floyd you're in for a big treat! (for those who smoke don't forget your lighters for DSOTM : ))

    Glamorous Life (performed by Sheila E.) /
    Instrumental Jam /
    1999 /
    I Feel For U /
    Controversy (with snippet of "Housequake") /
    Little Red Corvette /
    Musicology /
    Cream /
    U Got the Look /
    Shh /
    Anotherloverholeinyourhead /
    Creep (Radiohead cover) /
    The Arms of an Angel (Sarah McLachlan cover performed by backup singers) /
    7 --> Come Together (Beatles Cover) /
    Purple Rain /
    Let's Go Crazy
