Here it is, folks: The first fake wish-list/line-up for Coachella 2011.

Now that Coachella set times are FINALLY out, we can map out our weekend without tearing our hair out. So which days are we running across the Empire polo field to catch 10 minutes of which act?

We know what you're experiencing right now. The thrill of getting on the road to Indio is too much to stomach (perhaps its made you barf already).

It's been a whole year! KROQ announced just this morning the full line-up for their 2011 Weenie Roast, and the roster--as usual--is a nice little mix of the mainstream with the not-exaaactly-mainstream. Headliners?

[Mental Notes] Riley Breckenridge is back to blogging
We're still not sure about Playground Festival. While its lineup has a strong hip-hop component (Game, Lil Jon and Big Sean), the rock bands on the bill are comprised of acts that were big in 2008 (Bravery, Panic! at the Disco and Shiny Toy Guns). It seems totally overreaching that they're callin ... More >>
