If it's true, sign me up. Stellar...positively stellar. Roxy Music with Brian Eno would be astounding.

looks like a nice lineup

drool

[SalParadise]

i didn't even hear about the happy mondays reunion.. nice.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

yawn

[you be betty]

i saw that on another board!
 
 what sucks though, is that i'm always in california in the end of march/beginning of april.  so i'm going to have to wait 'till college to go to coachella; but i WILL be there as soon as i can.  wetting my pants periodically, because it continues to boggle the mind how they can get so many good bands together at once...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

See it as soon as you can. By the time you're 30, you'll realize that 80% of those bands suck.

I said SHE'D realize 80% of them suck. I myself would probably say a higher percentage.
 
 However, I did find 10 bands out of about 75 that I do like:
 
 Portishead
 Franz Ferdinand
 Buzzcocks
 Shins
 Richard Hawley
 Son Volt
 Roxy Music
 Boards of Canada
 Calexico
 Wedding Present

Whew, don't let me down there. I was getting worried for a second that something was going wrong with the world, like it was off its axis or something.

Now I can only hope that the rumored lineup is accurate, the early rumors last year were fairly accurate.... but then again it could all be made up this year!

Dates fall on my birthday, again. I should try and go to this.
 
 I think they are going to have Jazzfest in NOLA that weekend as well. Might be an easier trip from DC.
