Coachella's still saturated with reunions, but with M.I.A., Dan Le Sac, Erol Alkan, both The Streets and Jamie T, as well as Portishead now flaunting some of the best material they've ever done, and curiosities like Mark Ronson, Pendulum, Aesop Rock, Gogol Bordello, Calvin Harris, and Yo Majesty!, there'll be a lot of traditional crossing of fingers to have all of these stop in Seattle around the same time.

Much more international and eclectic than the usual bill-cramming standards. A breath of hope for festival-future.

The mainstage is too crowded anyway. Must see:

The Raconteurs
Diplo
Erol Alkan
Dan Deacon
Adam Freeland
Spank Rock
Cut Copy
Does it Offend you, Yeah
New Young Pony Club
M.I.A.
Gogol Bordello
Animal Collective

Jack Johnson is the biggest f'in head scratcher...its true. But all the idiots that will be watching HIM won't be near ME when I am at whatever rad artist is closing down the night at another tent.
