yeah it's a lot worse this year. and it figures that most of the bands i wanted to see are scheduled against each other, especially on friday.

yeah, i agree, i think this year's lineup is much stronger than last year. but i'm finding a lot of scheduling conflicts so it'll be tough to see everyone i was looking forward to seeing.

I think the lineup is great, but the scheduling SUCKS.
 
 Conflicts on Day One:
 
 Stars/Editors/Jeremy Enigk
 Umphreys McGee/Ryan Adams
 Iron & Wine/Secret Machines
 The Raconteurs/Unannounced Special Guest
 Ween/Death Cab
 
 Conflicts on Day Two:
 
 Feist/The Go Team
 Calexico/Nada Surf
 Gnarls Barkley/Sonic Youth
 Common/The Flaming Lips
 Thievery Corporation/The New Pornographers
 
 Conflicts on Day Three:
 
 Queens of the Stone Age/Wilco
 
 
 Seriously, do all of these bands have to play simultaneously?  They couldn't have staggered start times?

Yes, life would really suck if one had to miss Umphrey's McGee!
