Unfortunately, Gogol Bordello AND DJ Shadow will overlap with Bjork (the unofficial set times I posted a couple days ago is pretty much accurate!) :(

OMG. i am going to be so HADD in the desert… too much good music going on at the same time. i have no idea how i'm going to pull it all off, inevitably i'm going to skip some of my current choices.

minor gripe: i would have preferred a few less bands and slightly longer sets from the "headliner" acts.

God…SO many conflicts, I wouldn't know where to go. I'm still bummed to not be going this year.

Yeh, there are some nasty one's this year. It's funny I'll travel just about anywhere to see SY but I can't sleep on Faithless as I believe they'll have a quieter Daft P acclaim this year and there's probably something wrong with me if I see SY more than 12 times in 12 months.

Sonic Youth vs. Faithless vs. Interpol

Faithless wins, I agree. And I imagine they are better suited in a large setting! I hope the crowd goes ballistic when that song "Insomnia" plays!@!

Interpol is stalking me this year, they're playing at least five other festivals I'm attending before Labour day so they were never really in the running for Coachella. I've only seen Faithless twice, once at Brixton Academy and once a V Fest (original in Chelmsford), amazing both times and no-shit if I would have had to choose between them and Daft Punk prior to Coachella last year I would have. I had only seen Daft Punk in a club in LA about a decade ago, it was good but nothing like the brain drubbing I took in Indio and Buenos Aires last year.

Hilarious that super lame Tiesto gets top billing over RHCP.

Merely playing last on the mainstage isn't considered "top billing." Talib Kweli/Mos Def (impromtu Blackstar reunion) played the mainstage LAST after Radiohead in 2004. Chemical Brothers closed the mainstage over the headliner Bjork in 2002, And finally Underworld played after Beck in 1999. Sometimes the "headliner" asks for an earlier time, other times Paul puts a dance act to close out the night to take advantage of the extra space, and great view.

I see.

Not to nitpick, but Blackstar actually closed out the festival on Sunday night of Coachella 2005, after Nine Inch Nails. Radiohead in '04 was odd because they finished their set around 10:45 and no one came onto the mainstage after them (Wilco had cancelled, and they weren't replaced). Kraftwerk played in the Sahara Tent that night after Radiohead though, maybe that's what you were thinking of.

Please nitpick, I was just pulling shit out of my old brain, on the fly, so it was inevitable I was going to get some of the 7 years mixed up. But the point is still that it's not uncommon that the "headliner" doesn't close out the mainstage but still retains top billing. But in the quest for correctness I'll try to do better in getting my facts together before posting and don't have any problem being called on it, would have done it myself.
