Personally I think the line-up is great.  Not a huge fan of the main acts on Saturday but the smaller ones are great even though I've seen most of them at least once already.  Crystal Castles, Cut Copy, Warpaint, Tame Impala, Nosaj Thing, Ariel Pink, !!!, Klaxons, The Drums, Glasser and a few other bands I haven't listened to much but would love to check out.

AC always puts on a good show and I missed Arcade Fire at Merriweather, would like to see Mumford & Sons, BSS, PvD, Gogol Bordello (12/30 show was killer), Shpongle, Elbow, Foals, The Radio Dept, and Freelance Whales

Sunday: the Strokes (haven't seen them before), Ratatat, Nas, Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, Best Coast, Delorean and Menomena.

I mean most of the bands worth seeing have been in DC and I've seen, but half the fun of a festival is checking out new bands, seeing those you've missed when they came through or seeing your favorite bands again.  I think it would be worth going if I wasn't planning on going to Sasquatch a month later.

For those interested, JFK from DFA1979 posted on the MSTRKRFT message boards that Coachella wouldn't be a one off show. Or at least.... enough to let us believe it's not.

A poster:

but if its not a one off thing i'd hope that a certain someone would be decent enough to give us the heads up.

Response:

heads up.

Oh, yeah! Go all the way to the desert to watch tv! Why even bother? I don't care how many fancy lights, swirling confetti and glitter bursts, and pumping cloud machines of ecstasy are utilized to enhance the audio/video feed, if they aren't live on stage, it's all smoke and mirrors and nothing but a DJ set of sorts. Save it for a side party.

Jaded? Probably. I just don't get excited over such fakery anymore.

Hoping Elbow find their way to the East Coast... and I don't mean NYC. Think we've proved it over the years that Elbow always has a home here in the DC area.

eh, not surprising.  'chella doesn't claim to focus on new, undiscovered talent.  i think the repetition says more about the state of the music industry than about the festival - there are no emerging bands that can headline a major festival.  people won't go to/pay for a festival just to hear The Momma's Toasters and the recently reunited BlackWolfDeadKnifeFires.

^ Probably the most accurate poster we'll see all year. Even more so than the eventual real poster.
