Idolator kindly points music fans in the direction of Coachella's announced timetables, posted on the fest's site. And now all of the sudden I'm kind of glad I'm not going to the event (sour grapes, surely), because choosing between some of these acts would be a headache-inducing nightmare for the music completist. To wit, some of the hipster-haranguing overlap:
Friday:
Of Montreal vs. Gillian Welch
Arctic Monkeys vs. Amy Winehouse
Interpol vs. Sonic Youth vs. El-P
Bjork vs. DJ Shadow
Saturday:
Regina Spektor vs. Hot Chip
New Pornographers vs. Peter Bjorn & John
Kings of Leon vs. Decemberists vs. !!! vs. Andrew Bird (possibly the toughest decision?)
Arcade Fire vs. Ghostface
LCD Soundsystem vs., errr, Chili Peppers and Sparklehorse--no real question here
Good Bad & the Queen vs. Rapture vs. Black Keys vs. Cornelius
Sunday:
The Coup vs. Grizzly Bear
Willie Nelson vs. Kaiser Chiefs vs. CSS
Damien Rice vs. Happy Mondays vs. Teddybears
Rage vs. Spank Rock
Debate away below! For those going, there's a handy-dandy Coachooser, in which you fill out who you want to see electronically and then print it out to have with you. Ah, technology!
