Coachella 2009…Finally!

30January2009

Top 10 reasons for me to be excited:

  1. Paul McCartney
  2. Leonard Cohen
  3. My Bloody Valentine
  4. Public Enemy
  5. Girl Talk
  6. Gang Gang Dance
  7. Mastodon (although I doubt the people I’m going with will want to see them)
  8. Henry Rollins?…uhh…awesome.
  9. Beirut
  10. TV on the Radio

Top 10 reasons why I’m disappointed:

  1. No Blur
  2. No Animal Collective (however I’ll be seeing them this spring…but still!)
  3. Possibly a Leonard vs. Paul stage timing
  4. Patton and Rahzel? No Faith No More? C’mon Mike!
  5. No She & Him
  6. Will Amy Winehouse live long enough to perform?
  7. Possible TV on the Radio vs. Fleet Foxes stage timing
  8. Expen$ive
  9. Where’s Basement Jaxx, Chemical Bros, Orbial, Underground?
  10. Crystal Method? srsly?

I wonder who the March surprise will be…

Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

    Amy Winehouse – She’ll be shit, but worth the watch
    Zane Lowe – Should be good
    James Morrison – He looks a bit like a fish, but I LOVE his ballads :)
    Paolo Nutini – Similar to JM, but less fish-like (and I wondered the other day where he’d gone)

    I’m with you on the Blur disappointment! The last time I saw the original lineup was 1997. Looks like Saturday is the day to miss, though. The Killers as headliners?? Amy Winehouse? I like her, but will she even be alive by April? Or sober enough to perform? Maybe I’ll go to Disneyland that day. Ha.

    I’m worried about Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, and TVOTR being all in the same time slot. I’d have to oust TVOTR due to fact I’ve seen them already. hrm…

    As for Amy; imagine she dies on stage! You can say you were there when it happened.
