they've finally announced the official coachella lineup and i am so very disappointed. i could not be less interested in seeing either Coldplay OR Nine Inch Nails. sure, they've also got a bunch of awesome bands like the arcade fire, MIA, gang of four, new order and the like, but i feel like i can see all those bands without spending a million dollars on airfare, hotel, etc. plus, the inclusion of roni size and josh wink on the lineup makes me feel like it's 1995.
sigh. anyway, at least local shows are still worth going to. on thursday night i (and about twenty million other people) went to the delancey to hear diamond nights and the "special guest," a lansing-dreiden cover band! ooh la la. it was an excellent show all around and the new lansing-dreiden songs are AWESOME. i've also never seen a line that long at the delancey, which bodes well for kemado.
and this week, it's arcade fire at webster hall and M.I.A. at the knit! hooray.
Thank god i'm not the only one dissapointed in this. NIN, Coldplay? These are the headliners?

I'm disappointed as well considering I've finally decided to go to Coachella.
I see last year you flew into the bay area and drove down. Know anyone who is driving from the bay area and back up this year?
