Johnny C:
Two bands out of Regina, Geronimo and Sylvie, are also playing. Both are quite excellent. If you were a fan of Jade Tree band Despistado back in the day before they broke up, members are involved in each.

Carlyism:
Spoon and Thurston Moore?! Awesome! Too bad I live in California.

I could go to Coachella, but the bands playing this year don't interest me much (except for Animal Collective, Islands, Metric, Murs, and a few others). Jack Johnson headlining? Seriously?

valley_parade:
Sam, you better at least get to Asobi Seksu.


Anti-Flag? Are they even fucking relevant anymore?

Scandanavian War Machine:
no. no, they aren't.

but the rest of that list looks pretty damn good.


edit: what the hell is this thing!? i just skimmed through the whole list and found at least a hundred more bands i'd love to see that you didn't mention. this can't be some sort of festival can it? there are way too many bands on that list.
