haha, holy #### Ac/Dc on the polo fields. That is going to wail!

I've seen Drake and Mr. White before, both were great shows, but I'm not dying to see them again. Great undercard though.

Disappointed that King Kendrick won't be there. Oh well, FLORENCE!!!!

Lol, Steely Dan? Wat

Very solid. After being two years in a row I was going to skip out this year but that lineup has me thinking otherwise.

Pretty good lineup! Would love to see Drake and Interpol. Tame Impala again would be awesome. Ghostface and Raekwon!!!

I thought last year looked better. I'm pretty uneducated with my indie rock but not many names I recognize there outside of the headliners and EDM. I was hoping for more hip hop and indie acts that I know.

My List:
ACDC, Alesso, Lykke Li, Porter Robinson, Keisza, Pete Tong, Oliver Heldens, Jack White, Axwell ^ Ingrosso (lol so Angello ruined SHM?), Alt-J, Deorro, Milky Chance, New World Punx, Clean Bandit, Drake, Florence, Kaskade, Guetta, Madeon, Kygo, Odesza, RAC, Martin Solveig, R3hab, Dirty South, Cedric Jervais and Annie Mac

Flosstrodomus was the most annoying dj Ive ever seen fyi. Would not shut the #### up.

Anyways looks like it's decision making time...

Ryan Adams, The War on Drugs and Alabama Shakes are some awesome rock groups to check out. Man oh man, Run The Jewels is going to be INSANE!

Really excited for The Weeknd again.

I think I'll be spending more time in the Sahara this year. Barely was there last year at all.

Hahaha, oh man anyone catch Sloan on there?!?!?! SLOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a pretty underwhelming lineup in my opinion. Wonder if AC/DC will get their very own, exclusive stage as they have at some festivals in the past.

Steely Dan - I wonder if they will be doing other summer festivals.

Steely Dan, new Studio Album and Comeback Tour in 2015?

St. Vincent's long tour continues.

The last couple years have been awesome, but I'm underwhelmed by the lineup this year and that seems to be the general consensus.

I really hate to temper your excitement, but check out some recent live ACDC performances on youtube. They're horriawful. Like old man awkwardly panting into microphone awful.

It's beyond awkward at this point, and they've moved into relying on the "Who cares it's F'n ACDC!!" crowd to purchase tickets despite casino circuit-worthy performances, particularly vocals.

You sound like someone who's never seen them live. They put on a terrific show.

I know this makes me a jerk to complain about it, but can we please fix the thread title? It's had that spelling error for years now and it drives me a little more insane each time I read it.

Pretzel Logic: Understanding Why Your Dad's Favorite Band Is Playing Coachella

http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/632-pr...ing-coachella/

Like no other act at Coachella, Steely Dan test our musical intuition: discordance of music and lyrical themes, songs of transgressive creepitude set what passes for fardley 70's studio jazz to most milennials? It’s just that juxtaposition that makes Steely Dan particularly sinister. Lyrics about incestuous lechers, pedophiles, murderers, drug dealers and other low-down members of society feel more unsettling nestled into inoffensive music—a smooth sheen with an ickiness beneath. Steely Dan are, in fact, dangerous, edgy and cryptic, even (and especially) if its music doesn't sound foreboding. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker may be out-of-touch and casting from their prime, but they’re not boring.

There’s an artistic tension here. The way David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti use their music in films has these kinds of tense contradictions as well. Steely Dan is counterintuitive in that way. The Dan always gets brushed off as bland easy listening, yet their influence in indie rock--not exactly all pervasive--is easy to spot when it appears.

Let’s look past the sound and give Steely Dan more credit than just being Boring Old Men. They’re Dirty Old Men. They play just what they feel.
