Random thought: It's absurd that The xx are ahead of any of Sigur Ros, New Order (Peter Hook or not), Hot Chip and Grizzly Bear, let alone all of them. And a reunited Postal Service. I don't get it.
Pretty much my exact same thought the first time running through the lineup

It's still weird seeing Phoenix on a top line by itself. I kind of want to see Wu-Tang on Saturday with a shared top-billing like on Friday. I mean, if Phoenix could hold it, Wu-Tang could as well. I feel like that'd make the line-up poster "look" stronger.
1/29 Soundgarden
2/6 The Vaccines
2/15 A Silent Film
3/4 Muse
4/12 The Mowgli's
4/16 The Black Crowes
4/17 Leagues
4/19 Grouplove
4/23 Fitz & the Tantrums
5/10 Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven
5/19 The Shins
6/13-6/16 BONNAROO
7/19 Pearl Jam @ Wrigley
8/2-8/4 Lollapalooza
9/13-9/15 Riot Fest
real question: are the Violent Femmes like good? I've listened through some of their albums before and they've always struck me as aggressively mediocre.
Maybe the only Sigur Ros festival appearance in the States?
Saturday night melt down. They'll likely be booked against Hot Chip, New Order, or Phoenix. Maybe a combination of them even. That's what I'm most afraid of.
Sigur Ros will probably close the outdoor during Phoenix's headlining set while Hot Chip is in a tent.

I like a fair amount of the lower acts, but I really don't understand what makes this bill "stacked" (both undercards were more impressive last year IMHO. ) Is it the bizarre placement of Violent Femmes and Wu-Tang?
P.S. Anyone who is going should check out Deathfix, Brendan Canty of Fugazi's latest project. S'awesome
5/4 The Breeders
5/19 Titus Andronicus (?)
6/5 Tomahawk w/ Buke and Gase
6/8 Screaming Females
6/20 Billy Idol w/ Cat Power
6/29 Naked Raygun
7/12 Belle & Sebastian w/Yo La Tengo
7/13 Phish or Savages
7/14 Phish or Wire

They're pretty good, but I'm honestly pretty baffled by everyone's excitement about them on the lineup. I guess I was lucky growing up/living in Milwaukee. I accidentally saw them like four times throughout middle school and high school at Summerfest.
The scheduling at Coachella sucks...they always seem to pit amazing acts against each other in the tents...you have to think that most of these bands on the undercard will be doing their own tours and the other fests...is there anything on there that really even looks like an exclusive?

They were pretty f'n awesome live when I saw them (15 years ago).

It'd be a bummer to miss Hot Chip, but still an easy decision.
Also, the XX aren't number 2, that 2nd line reads from right to left.

So far this is the first we've heard of Violent Femmes and J5.
I'm guessing the Postal Service and Wu Tang reunions will be everywhere this summer.

In talking about this lineup with people, I am shocked how many people haven't heard The Stone Roses' debut. If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to go listen to it now. A true classic, easily one of the best Britpop albums ever. The best album The Smiths never made (although they're more reverb-y than The Smiths).

I think a lot of people in the US going to festivals (especially younger ones) just aren't familiar with British music. Makes me wonder if somehow The Smiths reunion got booked whether that would get the same reaction.
