I'm heavy on Saturday though, as usual, neither day can be compromised. Where's Radiohead? Aparrently Bonnaroo.

For those of you preparing for the festival, you have 12 weeks and over 80 bands. I'll try and post a song by a Coachella artist at the bottom of every post (they'll cycle quickly so download right away).

Coachella Artist of the Day (worth prioritizing or not? leave a comment):
Deerhoof - Wrong Time Capsule (mp3)
