    Honestly I'm indifferent about it.

Keeping in mind how a lot of musicians tend to be kind of flaky...I would hate seeing the acts differ from one weekend to the next. Even if they guarantee it will be the same you know there might be some variety due to circumstances...logically it makes perfect business sense...they have everything set up to go and it will make Coachella more profitable and more sustainable over the years as more people come.

    All I know is that I will still be going.

    8 days of coachella ,could be epic ,that means we get to see twice the amount of bands if we go to both gigs and there will be no more conflicts ,im happy as long as the line up dosnt suffer because of it

    It's fantasy to think that both weekends will have the same exact artists. Between the two weekends, I'd wager almost half of the artists will be different.
    04/10 Modest Mouse
    04/11 Jessie Ware
    04/14 Beardyman
    04/16 Sigur Ros
    04/17 Purity Ring
    04/17 The 2 Bears
    04/18 HTDA
    04/18 SMD
    04/19 Booka Shade
    05/03 Bonobo
    05/25 Azari and III
    05/29 CHVRCHES
    05/30 The xx
    06/10 Beth Orton
    07/26 The Postal Service
    8/2 & 4 Phish
    8/9-11 Outside Lands

    It's interesting to me that as the hours pass after the original announcement, people are becoming increasingly positive about the news. I think initially the percentages were like 75% against the double weekend format, and then 70%, and as of right now it's down to 66%.

    This either means:
    1) Negative people are more likely to answer polls quickly, or
    2) Reaction is shifting as people have a chance to digest the information

    3) the sample size is not large enough for the results to be statistically significant.

    Ha, I thought about that Tom. But I figured that a 9% shift in a sample size of 94 was probably significant. But hey, I haven't taken a class in (or for that matter used) statistics in like 10 years, so please correct me if I'm wrong. And also remind me how to calculate it, because I sure wish I remembered.

    This is pretty much the worst Coachella news I could have gotten. If the lineup is the same both weekends then it loses it's appeal by being repeatable. If the lineup is different then you risk picking the wrong weekend. And for those that travel to attend and are still financially recovering from 2011 this is very short notice to commit money again. I agree that it becomes commercialized and far less special to see a canned pre packaged series of acts a second time around.

    4) correlation is not causation.

    Don't leave me hanging! I've spent all morning trying to remember my very rudimentary statistics. And failing miserably. Z score? Chi square?
