Coachella 2011 Lineup Finally Revealed!

Let's get real, people. I am not truly and honest to god-ly not saying this because I am trying to undermine anyone, but people who say Coachella's lineup this year is sub par, do not know half of the artists playing. Sure, some of the headliners might be too mainstream and all you pretentious people only look at Arcade Fire or Kings of Leon, and think to yourself, "What? Sex on Fire? Lame."

But really give a listen to those below. I am not talking about that indie-folky-hipstery band called Mumford and Sons or Animal Collective or even Ratatat (Hey, have you heard of this song called "Seventeen Years?). Nosaj Thing, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Titus Andronicus, Breakage, Mount Kimbie, Daedelus, Delta Spirit, Two Door Cinema Club, The Radio Dept., SBTRKT, Mary Anne Hobbs, Best Coast, Angus and Julia Stone, Phantogram, HEALTH, Trentmoller, Delorean, TOKiMONSTA, Tallest Man on Earth, Foals, Joy Orbison, Klaxons, are all bands/DJ's that really will be worth spending all that X-Mas, B-Day, Jew-Day $ on. They are too underrated to be the big, bad, and bold in-your-face font that catches your attention, such as my boy Kanye (Bro-yay?), but just as talented and worth seeing. The lineup this year, really more last year and even the year before, embodies every aspect of good music out there.

Here is the full lineup my friends -
