Uhhhhh, wow. Kids really stepped up their game, didn't they?

A few things

1) When Girls and Beach House are on the bottom line of a festival bill, you know there is a sick amount of good music involved.

2) However, when Them Crooked Vultures get the same billing as Thom Yorke, you know that billing can be misleading.

3) Why the ???? after Thom Yorke? If he's not confirmed, that's just cruel. And kinda shady.

4) Sly is notoriously reclusive. He's either desperate for a little relevance, or they threw a sh!% ton of cash at him.

5) Speaking of cash, I have a feeling the amount of $$$ it must have taken them to put together this line-up will be directly proportional to the amount of sponsors shoving products down your throat. Just sayin. Somebody's gotta pay the bills.

6) Amazing that Public Image LTD and the Specials - two bands my brother loved back in the day (the guy graduated high school a few years before The Breakfast Club came out) - are playing the same stages as Grizzly Bear and LCD Soundsystem. What goes around, comes around.

7) Holy crap, that's a lot of talent. Say what you want about Coachella, but you simply cannot deny there will be truly great music out there in April. Avant garde it is not, but they are clearly back on the right track music-wise.

Thanks for the tip, LA!
