Yup Rob thanks for sharing. Huge Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer fan, I think she has one of the best blogs I've ever read. Always keeps me entertained. You also saw the best of the best bands for the day and that Cure story makes me mad that I didn't go...but I just can't handle Coachella anymore.

Thanks again for sharing!

Eh, not sure why anyone would go Friday? Saturday almost wants to make me break my no coachella rule, if only for Faith No More, the Dead Weather, MGMT and JOHN FNG WATERS! Though, what the hell will John Waters be doing there? Or is that some crap band that's using his name? Sunday, well if I could get flown in by a helicopter to see Julian Casablancas, then flown right out, I'd go.

By the way, Muse needs to switch spots with Faith No More, FNM should be the headliner!
 
Rob.

Rob.

I am going on Friday for LCD Soundsystem, Echo and the Bunnymen, PIL, Fever Ray, She and Him, Grace Jones, the Avett Bros, and Deer Tick to name a few. I'll have to wait for the set times to see who has to be cut.

Don't forget Devo on Saturday...Or the Raveonettes...or Edward Sharpe......or Girls...or the XX

What about Pavement, Phoenix, Gary Numan and Florence and the Machine on Sunday?

There are 5 stages!

Despite the backlash currently coming their way - Florence and the Machine are actually a tidy live act, so I would recommend checking them out.

It's a weird festival lineup though - full of nostalgia acts living from the past such as The Specials, Sly and the Family Stone and Faith No More alongside some of the biggest acts in music today (Jay-Z, Muse, Gorrilaz) as well as the flavour of the month acts.

These list make me feel so old, so out of it. I did however see "One Eskimo" a couple of weeks ago. OK, big deal.....

Rob! No, no, say it aint so..What he heck with a dead weather partial set? They deserve a full set! Ha, maybe you've seen them live before, but if not, be prepared to be rocked out! And are you really missing Faith No More?

And if you, or anyone else can tell me, because I never found an answer, what is John Waters doing on the lineup? Unless this is not the director and the name of some new band?
 
Rob.

Rob.

I'll catch most of Dear Weather, But I gotta get to Devo. I saw The Raconteurs a couple of years ago, so I am prepared to be rocked. It's just that Devo's New material is So good. Check it out if you haven't.

I never liked FNM. Not even in the eighties, so...

And...It is the actual John Waters, I guess he does kind of a spoken word/lecture type thing.

I just talked to a guy here at work who is also going. His schedule seems a little less frantic than yours though. ;) He only really cares about 5 or 6 of the bands, and isn't going to show up before 3pm on any of the days.
 
Rob.

Rob.

Yeah, It's a lot less frantic than it seems, and I like to see a lot of the smaller bands. If I was in LA where I could see some of the lesser known acts more often, I would probably scale it way back.

Oh and Rob, no Do it, do it, you will not be disappointed! It's a money back guarantee, from Julian's camp, not me!

I've seen Claypool 3 times...and counting-each time amazing-if anyones going put him on the list to see.
You will be blown away and impressed. Ask Winona
 
Rob.

Rob.

I've seen Les with Primus.

Julian is on the To Do List.

I know it sucks to have to skip bands, but conflicts are a bitch sometimes.

P.S. I hate Faith No More!
 
Rob.

Rob.

Muse had something for you.

The recording isn't that good, so I found the same thing but at a different show. You'll get the picture.
