Coachella '09 -- Erm...
Yea, can't say that I'm exactly floored by the lineup...

http://coachella.com

I'd definitely give my right arm to see MBV though.

Re: Coachella '09 -- Erm...
I thought the same thing. I can't imagine what MBV would be like live but they are seriously the only band I'd really want to see on that list and even then I'm not really a fan. Last year I was able to pick out a good 15 or so bands I would see...now, I'm having trouble finding one...

Re: Coachella '09 -- Erm...
yea ... I'm pretty conflicted about this line-up

you see - when I went last year (my first time) it really was worth all the effort (flying from the midwest to California... dealing with the potential minefield of seeing my [then] girlfriend for a day or two in San Diego, then meeting up with my ex-girlfriend who actually went with me...and so forth) because I finally got to see Portishead, the 'support' line up (or whatever you'd call the people who aren't the headliners) were really varied, and a lot of them I wanted to see...


now this year - sure, it's a plus that it's actually on my birthday, and I probably won't be as busy then

BUUUUT

the line-up just isn't that catching overall

I could give two-shits about Paul McCartney; I hate Morrissey and Amy Winehouse... and I am not a huge fan of either MBV or the Cure

and well... at least last year - there were a lot of bands I didn't know and it was fun catching 'new' bands

this year - it's more like "yea they're ok, but do I want to spend $$$ just to see MSTRKRFT dj?" or "sure I like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - but are they going to be that great in a large venue?"

know what I mean?

and well - you really can't beat Portishead, Prince, & Kraftwerk

Re: Coachella '09 -- Erm...
This line-up isn't flooring but I found a few bands that I'd like to check out. The dance area didn't get a full slot of acts and Goldenvoice said they'd be adding some additions there so we'll have to see (Chemical Brothers from what I've read). There is still a mainstream act to be added but, for all I care, it's Coachella and being there is enough fun for me.

(btw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs played the main stage a few years ago and they were great)
