Coachella 2010 January 12, 2010 at 07:51 PM UTC #
lineup to be announced on thursday, supposedly.  confirmed and rumored acts: http://consequenceofsound.net/festival-outlook/coachella-valley-music-and-arts-festival/

who is going this year?  looks like i'll pass - FNM and soundgarden would interesting additions, if they get them, but overall the lineup isn't enough to put me on a plane (even if all the rumors turn out to be true).

Meh for the headliners, but the rest look pretty good.

Fever Ray, Florence & the Machine, Orbital, Grace Jones!

Will anybody there, either in a band or a fan, look as douchey as this?

another name that caught my eye: Talvin Singh.  i've been wanting to see him for years.  frightened rabbit is cool too, i wonder if this means they'll be touring on the east coast too.

overall, i'm reconsidering my decision to not go… this is a very respectable lineup, IMO.

thanks, didn't know that.  reviews of the shows are universally positive, 4 out of 5 stars: guardian, independent, telegraph.

i'd imagine it'll be something like that, they're promising a "multimedia extravaganza".  i believe that they haven't played for some time now so who knows what they'll use.  in the past they've projected holograms on a clear plastic film stretched across the stage, one can only imagine that for this gig they're going to pull out something cool.

My flight has been booked for a few weeks now. I've been the past 2 coachellas and this one is the best yet.

Can't believe I'm going to see Orbital and Thom Yorke… holy shit.

Oh man, I dont even want to begin to imagine the possible conflicts. Upon first glance, I really want to see:

Orbital
Thom Yorke
Infected Mushroom
Echo & the Bunnymen
Fever Ray
Gorillaz (at least some of them)
LCD Soundsystem
Jay Z (at least some of him)
Gary Numan
The Whitest Boy Alive
Flying Lotus
Faith No More (at least some of them)
Plastikman
Deerhunter
Z-Trip
Mew
Glitch Mob

and so many more. There are so many of the "holy shit they actually booked them?" acts on there. Arguably Coachella's best lineup yet.

you do not want to see infected mushroom.  at a minimum, have another act at the same time that you'll be ready to move on to once you realize how much they blow.

nice catch on plastikman, didn't notice that.

i wonder what the deal is with the question marks after thom yorke's name on the poster.  i'm hoping he'll have the same band backing him as he did in LA recently (included flea), but maybe they're indicating something else?

I was just going to say the "Hey Seth" thread is about to have three pages tacked onto it.
