Not the best lineup, but I’m glad Radiohead and Led Zeppelin won’t be headlining together. That would just be weird. I’m sad David Bowie isn’t playing, but fuck nucka, peep this.

–Portishead, first time touring the U.S. in over 8 years. First time recording in longer. If you think Portishead is a washed up band you did drugs to in the 90’s, go back and listen to Dummy now that you aren’t seeing patterns in your parents drapes. Who hates trip hop? Dicks and Christians.

–Roger Waters doing Dark Side of the Moon in it’s entirety (see: Youtube. Even if DSOM is David Gilmour’s masterpiece, and even though it would be more appropriate for Roger Waters to do the Wall… Roger Waters kicks DSOM’s ass in his recent performances. omfg.)

The Breeders. Close your eyes. Remember how much you liked the Pixies when you were also listening to the above mentioned album, on ecstasy. Imagine the beauty of Fight Club when “Where is my mind” first brought down the credit agencies and banks in an explosion of anarchy and good cinema. Now realize that Jack Black is an asshole, and that his musical female counterpart is half of why you enjoy that song. Imagine it without female harmonies. Now go download the entire discography of the Breeders and realize that the Pixies can only be as talented as the Breeders. Be excited that they are finally releasing a new album, and sing “Cannonball” in your head until it gets played out like it did on the radio in the 90’s.

- Fatboy Slim. Coachella is a festival of lights. The valley itself stays quiet for most of the year until bands like Fatboy Slim come out of hiding and entertain all the kids who are the age to take the things mentioned above. Do you know how refreshing it will be to be in this beautiful, temperate valley with almost 100,000 other people dancing their ass off? No work, no drama, no worries. Praise you. Rockafeller Skank. Gangster Trippin. Right Here Right Now. Weapon of Choice.

- Madness. Onnnnnnnneeeee Stttteeeeeppppp Beeeeeyyoooooonnnnnnddddd…. *dances dances dances* Our house, in the middle of our street. *dances dances dances* Driving in my Car. *dances dances dances*. 80’s brit-ska at it’s best. Thank Madness for bands like: No Doubt, Sublime, and the Rx Bandits. A perfectly ass-shakable combination of reggae, pop music, and eccentricity.
