Yeah, oops...sorry about that.
 
 I didn't want to buy tix before the lineup was announced anyway...

Got Haggis?

For me, it all depends on my bonus from work.  It better be big, 'cause this place sucks right now.  I had such a fantastic time last year.  I'd love to repeat it.  
 
 But, I think last year had alot to do with the Pixies too.

I am now thinking Coldplay and not U2. too much Coldplay talk to not be true.

Gang of Four would be great, but I'm not sure that the lineup is enough for me to go back this year. I'll have to see who else announces. New Order and the Chemical Brothers would have to be on the bill for me to consider going this year.

it'll have to be impressive for me to make a return trip too...aphex twin or someone else who you usually can't see stateside.  coldplay is a ridiculous headliner.  if they're confirmed, i will definitely NOT be going to coachella this year.  ditto for the doves, or tears for fears, or any of the other bands that have been "rumoured" to be on the bill.  
 
 ...and a u2 headline is pretty bunk too.  last time i saw them was on zooropa when i paid almost $70 (this was back in 96 or 97 mind you) to see them play a painfully short set at RFK...broken screens, no encore, no acoustic set as they had played for every other stop on that tour. aren't u2 making enough money doing their own thing to make coachella seem like a big waste of time?

looks like you wont be going then, cause i can about guarantee two of those 3 (doves, U2, Coldplay)will be there.
 
   i think its weak too really.  My going is resting upon a few different things.  Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and then someone crazy like Elvis Costello....

any of those would be great...just rented the michael gondry video retrospective from netflix a couple of weeks ago (he directed the "around the world" video) and it inspired me to dig out some old daft punk. i'd also love to see the verve reunite for coachella (definitely won't happen this year but i'll keep hoping).

Portishead and New Order are now confirmed.
 
 that almost makes it worth going to.
 
 one rumor is that Pulp may be playing (but there are lots of rumors)

 tell me about the new daft punk.
 
 (i've heard only "human after all" and "robot rock"...i liked both.)

its me.  the new Daft Punk CD is pretty incredible.  most of the track take away the house beat from Discovery, and go back to Homework where they are much more synthesized and robotic sounding.  a lot of the digitally altered voice in the new one.  
 
   its a little less danceable, but i think it would make a better live show.
 
   no more "one more time" songs. though, the remixes havent started flowing in.
