Just this morning we reported that Rage Against the Machine, Björk and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the three headlining acts for this year’s Coachella festival, and that the Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth and many other acts had been confirmed.

Scanning the Saturday bill, you see Arcade Fire…LCD Soundsystem…Hot Chip…Ghostface Killah…Fountains of Wayne…wait, Fountains of fucking Wayne? Didn’t they jump the shark with that whole “Stacy’s Mom” thing? No they did not, my friend. On April 3, their new album Traffic and Weather will be out on Virgin. Expect more Cars-cribbing, New Wave-revisiting rock. [...]
