Well, Massive Attack is the only act I'm really excited about seeing... and a handful of other acts. I mean, it seems as though the guys at Goldenvoice opened up the most current issue of Filter Magazine, and picked the most hyped (overhyped) indie acts. This lineup caters perfectly to the myspace crowd (imo). Before, it used to be you'd go to Coachella, check out some new acts, now it's like these folks are selling out venues before they even play the festival. And Madonna is using this venue to kick start her own mega summer tour... I'm sad to see the festival make a drift away from booking small, unknown bands from obsure parts of the world... actually nevermind, it's still like that, only these bands are now the soundtrack to The O.C.
