Coachella 2012

When searching for topics related to Coachella, it seems as though most posts were composed of the complaints of numerous people. I feel a more constructive conversation would be to discuss the different aspects of the festival, which Goldenvoice seems to have only been improving over the past few years.

Let's discuss the artists we're excited to see, the benefits of the two weekends, the merits of camping, and any other Coachella related topics.

This year's line-up is a bit sub-par for me
I'd like to see Day 3: Florence + the Machine, Santigold, Beirut

Seems like the worst of the past three years, but still pretty good overall. Saturday is amazingly stacked. Friday would be up there with Saturday except for some reason they didn't schedule very many acts for Friday, but still some pretty cool stuff. Sunday is kind of lagging behind on this one, though there's still some nice stuff in the undercard, I guess.

That being said, the Sahara is ******** pathetic this year.

Friday: Wolf Gang, Band of Skulls, GIVERS, Atari Teenage Riot, WU LYF, Neon Indian, The Horrors, M. Ward, The Rapture, Amon Tobin, Pulp, The Black Keys

Saturday: Grouplove, The Vaccines, The Big Pink, Black Lips, The Head and The Heart, Buzzcocks, AWOLNATION, Kasabian, Manchester Orchestra, Flying Lotus, St. Vincent, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jeff Magnum, Miike Snow, The Shins, Radiohead

Sunday: Sleeper Agent, Gardens & Villa, Wild Beasts, Real Estate, Gotye, Santigold, Modeselektor, Calvin Harris, DJ Shadow, The Hives, Beirut, At The Drive-In

Those are the acts that I think would be cool to see.

I thought the line up was ridiculous last year. The fact that Lightning Bolt and Health could be featured at the same festival as Wiz Khalifa and Skrillex is totally strange.

the only thing i'm excited about this festival is Refused. Other than that, At The Drive-in is pretty ok. and other than those, nothing else.
