Going To The Country…

I’m heading to Coachella this weekend and would like to query you, kind reader, for any bands you may suggest. They have yet to release the set times, but the bands are listed here. (If you feel the need to say "Snow Patrol", go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars)

I currently plan on seeing:

Wilco*, Coldplay, Bauhaus, Weezer, Rilo Kiley, Bloc Party, New Order, Bright Eyes, Gang of Four, Black Star, The Faint, The Arcade Fire, Z-Trip, M.I.A., The Dresden Dolls, The Fiery Furnaces, The Futureheads

Who am I missing? [descriptions/reasons are nice]

Hopefully I do not OD on the "the" bands.

*Oversight corrected by Jeff  - Already planned on seeing them, but apparently my brain bone is not connected to my blog bone.

    Um, Wilco. Because they are hands down the best band there this year.

    Pinback. Would be interesting to see what a festival setting would do for/against their sound.

    Locust. Men in costumes!!!

    duh - don’t know how I left out Wilco. Locust? - Men in costumes — if this is as close as I can get to Gwar in the desert, consider it done.

    And I almost forgot: Have a good time, drink plenty of water before you go in, and take plenty of pix for the agorophobes.

    Not quite GWAR but definitely worth checking out.
