Coachell 2009 Line-up announced

[Kevy Baby]

I will admit to never having to been to Coachella, but Paul McCartney just stands out like a sore thumb.

Don't get me wrong, I LIKE Paul McCartney, but that seems akin to have Rob Zombie play at a Christian music festival.

Should be interesting.

I'm reminded every year just how out of the loop I am musically when I look at the lineup. Though I do see some familiar names (not not just McCartney).

I love some of the band names!

Hey GC, can you make a trip back to see Miss Winehouse?

Roger Waters was a HUGE highlight of last year's show.

Band that have me excited:
Conor Oberst
Black Keys
Ghostland Observatory
Crystal Method
M. Ward (sort of)
Fleet Foxes!
Dr. Dog!
Blitzen Trapper
Peter Bjorn & John
X
Groove Armada

Peppered across all 3 days, of course. I don't know what's going on with work and vacation time. As a cost cutting measure they've said they will be revising vacation accrual, possibly suspending any new accrual. We won't lose any time we already have, but it makes me hesitant to take days off. But then, I've got quite a bit saved off, so a day or two isn't huge or anything.

Shepard Fairey is listed, the guy who did the Obama poster. Wonder if he's got a music act, or if he'll just have art there.
