Going to Coachella '08
So I'm planning on wandering onto the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, CA, this April and overload on 3 days of music and spend each night in a tent amongst the great unwashed and unsober and unquiet. Below are the bands lined up for the festival: those in bold are the ones I want to see and those underlined are those I really really want to see:
* Roger Waters (Dark Side of the Moon) * Portishead * Jack Johnson * Kraftwerk * the Verve * the Raconteurs * Death Cab for Cutie * Love and Rockets * My Morning Jacket * Aphex Twin * the Breeders * Justice * Cafe Tacuba * Fatboy Slim * Spiritualized * Tegan and Sara * Goldfrapp * Serj Tankian * the Swell Season * Sasha & John Digweed * Gogol Bordello * Rilo Kiley * Chromeo * the Streets * Dwight Yoakam * M.I.A. * the National* Metric * Hot Chip * Cold War Kids * Animal Collective * Kate Nash * Mum * Slighty Stoopid * Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks * Above & Beyond * Danny Tenaglia * Pendulum * DeVotchKa * Booka Shade * Simian Mobile Disco * Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings * Murs * Stars * Flogging Molly * Mark Ronson * Redd Kross * Dimitri from Paris * Battles * Turbonegro * Autolux * Aesop Rock * the Field * Les Savy Fav * Scars on Broadway * Linton Kwesi Johnson* Midnight Juggernauts * Islands * the Cool Kids * Does it Offend You, Yeah? * Enter Shikari * Sons & Daughters * Minus the Bear * Sia * Calvin Harris * Holy F*ck * Spank Rock * dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip * Boys Noize * Black Kids * Diplo * Junkie XL * Black Mountain * Adam Freeland * Annuals * Cinematic Orchestra * Santogold * Jamie T * Jens Lekman * Kid Sister with A-Trak * the Teenagers * John Butler Trio * Duffy * I'm From Barcelona * Vampire Weekend * VHS or Beta * Deadmau 5 * Carbon/Silicon * Manchester Orchestra * Dan Deacon* Erol Alkan *Architecture in Helsinki * Man Man * Sandra Collins * Yo!

One of the head-scratchers I'm facing is the fact that Gogol Bordello will probably play at the same time on the last night as Roger Waters. I've seen Gogol twice and they are bloody amazing, but 'Dark Side of the Moon' is such an iconic thing ... but would it be the same if I were stone cold sober while taking it in (a distinct possibility)??? Decisions, decisions ... HELP!!!
