I wouldn't put too much stock in that considering it's missing one of the tents (Gobi) and calls the Saraha Tent the dance tent.  Also, it's the Outdoor Theater, not the Side Stage.

Anyone hear anything else about that filter party after getting the automated response?

[sweetcell]

nope, haven't heard anything since the auto-reply.  not that i really care, unless God is DJ'ing i'll probably skip it.

Yeh, I think it's likely Arctic Monkeys will play the outdoor theater, while SY will be on the mainstage, and Faithless will close their tent partially conflicting with Bjork unfortunately.

Well there's the email. Doubt I'd be able to make it in time.

Comedians of Comedy (Jasper Redd, Brent Weinbach, Howard Kremer, Aziz Ansari, Hard'n'Phirm, Maria Bamford, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, Patton Oswalt)will play the Gobi Tent 4/27 from 2-4:30 pm.

 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.
