BLUR MATH
90% of Coachella attendees know one Blur song
Only 40% of that 90% even know it is sung by Blur. The other 60% know it as that WooHoo song that gets played on car commercials and once every two weeks on the crappy alternative rock station in their city.
Blur can headline, sure, why not, Coachella can pick whoever they want. But virtually everybody will be at something else. All the other "weak" headliners at least had songs that your average American knew. Jack Johnson sucks, but I bet everybody at that festival knew Flake and Bubble Toes. Killers? Weak as shit, but they had 4 or 5 legitimate hits by then...Somebody Told Me, Mr. Brightside, When You Were Young, Are We Human or Are We Dancer, etc.
I think it's silly to book a headliner based on an impressive legacy they established a decade ago on an entirely different continent. Nobody in America knows Blur. The argument isn't about how good they are, I dig them, great band, great legacy across the pond, but you throw something even slightly interesting in the Sahara and the Mojave and the main stage will be dead empty if they headline. If they are a strong sub, then you just shut down the outdoor and the set will be full, like Pulp last year. But you can't tell me that if Pulp had Black Keys spot, and the other options were Explosions in the Sky, M83, and Afrojack, that most Americans under 30 (a large percentage of the Coachella audience) wouldn't have chosen one of those acts.

"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."
