→ Coachella Lineup Is Released, Rumor Mill Comes To A Grinding Halt…
First things first.
The Coachella lineup was finally announced! (I’ll refrain from using the nine additional exclamation points I’d like to stick behind that.)
The Friday headliner is Paul McCartney, Saturday is headlined by The Killers, and The Cure round out the last headlining spot for Sunday.
To see the entire, completely official lineup in its entirety, visit the Coachella website.
Glasvegas managed to nail down a spot on Saturday.
Cheers to that.
The Coachella festival begins on Friday, April 17th and runs through Sunday, April 19th.
→ The Gaslight Anthem take on The Late Show…
New Jersey band, The Gaslight Anthem, are on their way to becoming a big deal so if you’re the dude who likes to get in on the ground floor with things, now’s the time to assert your allegiance to this band.
In addition to playing a Sunday gig at Coachella, they’ll be on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight (which is Friday).
Letterman airs at 11:30 pm on CBS in most areas, but be sure to check your local listings.

I’m so happy the Coachella lineup was finally announced. All of my thoughts have been owned by the possibilities surrounding their ten year anniversary line-up. All of my food began to taste like Coachella.
I feel like I just got my life back.
