No flu, just a touch of the black lung from all the dust. I did lose my voice on Saturday if that counts for anything.

Janelle Monae
Blur
Sigur Ros
Dropkick Murphys
Violent Femmes

In no particular order but Janelle Monae's set was a ton of fun! New Order was also better than I was expecting but I left early to...

That was fun!

Wow! What a great set! So glad I got to see her.

I'm going to Sigur Ros over New Order. I've seen NO plenty of times and I think I can handle missing them this one time.

Looks like I'll be running around all weekend. I thought Friday would the worst in terms of conflicts but they actually did a decent job, well except for the Metric/Divine Fits conflict. Luckily I'm...

I was hoping to see Queens of the Stone Age in the lineup.

oops, I didn't see that someone else mentioned this earlier. My bad.

I watched the webcast of weekend 1 and went weekend 2. I thought most of the performances were much better weekend 2. Yeah it was hot, but after a few years of attending you get used to the heat. The...

Pulp put on a great show today.

This. And I live in Los Angeles.

Girls in Ugg boots can also be banned. I don't understand why this trend continues.

I agree with this, although I have camped out before in front of a stage, but I can't imagine doing that all day. So much to see and eat!

Yeah, 4 or 5 in the afternoon you will be hitting all kinds of traffic. If you can't leave earlier, it might be best to wait until after 7p and then head out to Indio. The traffic should be much...

Good God. I couldn't get past the first couple of sentences. PLEASE go back to school and make yourself useful. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Black Keys vs. M83 vs. EITS

This is bad but I'm also annoyed with most of Saturday. Looks like I'll be jumping from stage to stage.
I'm hoping the powers that be might change a few things around...

I regret missing Leonard Cohen's set. Traffic was a bitch that day and I could almost hear him sing the last song as I ran over to catch Ghostland Observatory.

Saw them last year at Bonnaroo and I watched their Coachella '11 performance on the webcast, but I'm still looking forward to seeing them this year. I love El Camino.

Never heard them play Creep live. Don't need to hear it.

I've gone to Coachella by myself for years. I even drove to Bonnaroo from Philly alone and the instant I was at the camp, made friends with my neighbors. Its too easy to make new friends and trust...

Garbage and The Stone Roses please.

I have to agree. I was also a fan of the fried calamari a couple of years back but I didn't see them in 2010 and last year I was on the east coast and went to Bonnaroo instead. They had Spicy Pie at...

I missed this thread! I love this time of year!

I agree about fixing scheduling screwups. That would be advantageous.

I can only handle one weekend in my old age.

Wow! This is just nuts!

It took an hour but I got weekend 2. I don't know if the computer is just picking at random or what, I logged on right at 10am.
Hang in there everyone! And don't worry, if you're buying tickets...

Kanye West
Black Keys
DFA79
PJ Harvey
Duran Duran

Cold War Kids were pretty awesome too and I'm sad I passed out before Scissor Sisters came on.

I wanted to see Dillinger too but I had such a great spot on the rail for SSSC and TCV, I'll just have to catch them the next time.
I thought they were pretty good. I love Boots and Tom Morello is...

Love that shirt.
I hope this thread comes back next year!

1. Them Crooked Vultures
2. Faith No More - set was too short
3. DEVO
4. King Khan and the Shrines
5. The Specials/Muse

If I was lying down I would have passed out from boredom. They had no energy. I'm sorry I wasted my time trying to catch a little of their set.

They were boring. But they probably should have been on the main stage with such a big crowd watching.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was disappointed in them. They needed more percussion or something. I left after about 3 songs. I was really looking forward to their set too.

You'll be fine. I've camped alone in '07 and it was a lot of fun. Although the drum circle might get tiresome by Saturday night.

Last year I left the hotel around 3:30 on friday and got into the festival about 3 hours later. That was the worst traffic I've seen. The two days after that I left around 2 and got there in 20...

A message to you, Rudy

TCV = QOTSA > Foo

Josh Homme is a golden god!

They always suck.

I was there too. I lasted about 10-15 minutes. So disappointing.

I also have a Panasonic Lumix, but its a TZ3. Takes the best concert photos ever. Just buy the fastest disc you can get.

Aww! Wish I was there!
Please come back to LA! Please come back to LA! Please come back to LA!

This sounds good to me.

Hopefully FNM will play over. 50 minutes sound like a lot of set up time to me.
Damn, I should have gotten a ticket for one of the Warfield shows.

The conflicts could be a lot worse. It just means I'll be jumping around from stage to stage, especially on Sunday.

I've see a few laptops in the campgrounds. I wouldn't bring it but if you feel the need to be connected... You can rent a locker to stow it during the show.

Yes, two wristbands and no, its not worth it, unless all you want to do is look for celebs and sit in a shady couch all day. I did it last year and it was okay but won't do it again unless I get a...

You still have to buy festival tickets to get in. The VIP tickets are just to go into the VIP area with the shade, toilets with running water and bar with liquor.

Thanks for bumping this. I'm really looking forward to next weekend!

Come back on Tuesday! Sheesh!

I actually think Jay Z is a good headliner. Who knows who he's bringing to play with him.

I concur with the ones who said don't come if you don't like the lineup. Just go away and come back when...

I would have been sad if they were off the lineup.

Sad but true.
