Coachella 2009


(This is the first post about music in...forever!)



Since I'll be in the area when April rolls around, there's no WAY, no excuse to miss this years Coachella. The line up is ridiculous! To peep the listed artists, check out this link ---> Coachella 09. I'll try and write up some of the people I'm down to see, but the more I check out who's playing, the more I see my list exponentially growing. Here are some awesome artists that will be playing, and that I will be trying to watch come April:

April 17
Beirut, Coner Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Crystal Castles, Franz Ferdinand, Genghis Tron, Girl Talk, Leonard Cohen, Los Campesinos!, M. Ward, Morrissey, Paul McCartney, Silversun Pickups, The Aggrolites, The Airborne Toxic Event, The Black Keys, The Bug, The Hold Steady, The Presets

April 18
Atmosphere, Billy Talent, Calexico, Dr. Dog, Fleet Foxes, Glasvegas, Henry Rollins, Mastodon, Michael Franti & Spearhead, MSTRKRFT, The Killers, Turbonegro, TV on the Radio, 

April 19
Antony and the Johnsons, Fucked Up, The Gaslight Anthem, Lupe Fiasco, Lykke Li, My Bloody Valentine, Okkervil River, Paolo Nutini, Public Enemy, The Cure,  Yeah Yeah Yeah's

WOW. I pretty much just typed up everyone that was there, that's how RIDONK the line up is for the festival. I'm sure I missed out other quality acts worth seeing. How is there enough time in the day to watch everyone? I don't even have a ticket yet and I'm already tripping. 76 more days to score a ticket to one of the most solid festivals I've seen in a while!

(I'm beyond pumped! Here's hoping I get tickets to all 3 days...and that I have enough cash money to actually buy a ticket!)
