Coachella speculation

The big deal about Coachella this year is that either New Order or David Bowie might be playing. However, Goldenvoice isn't announcing anything yet, and there's no word when they will. The only bands that I know of to confirm are Rilo Kiley and M83, who confirmed, strangely, on the back of a sticker that came with my recent order from Aquarius Records.

Pollstar, as usual, has a rumors list up and going, but it doesn't include M83, so who knows how reliable it is. If you didn't want to search, also tipped are Franz Ferdinand, Nine Inch Nails, Iron and Wine (I don't really think that's likely, but we'll see), Bright Eyes, Jimmy Eat World (gross), Wilco (I'd say likely after they bailed last year), Death From Above 1979, and Dogs Die in Hot Cars, amongst others.

I received in the mail today the following albums, which may or may not make it here in some form:

Thalia Zadek - Trust Not Those In Whom Without Some Touch of Madness (Thrill Jockey, 2004)
Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid (Kranky, 2001)
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops I (2062, 2001)
Oren Ambarchi - Grapes From the Estate (Touch Music, 2004)

Oh, it's a feast. I'm looking forward to it.
