Here's my list right now, not sure how workable this will end up being (* = must see, CAPS = super must see)
Friday: Blur*, Stone Roses, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, Modest Mouse, Grinderman, Dog Blood, HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS, Metric, Japandroids*, Divine Fits*, Foals*, THE SHOUTING MATCHES, Four Tet, tnght, Earl Sweatshirt, Polica*, Youth Lagoon, Purity Ring*, Palma Violets
Saturday: PHOENIX, The xx, Sigur Ros, New Order*, Grizzly Bear, Moby*, Yeasayer, Violent Femmes*, Simian Mobile Disco*, Spiritualized, 2 Chainz, Janelle Monae, Danny Brown Wild Nothing, Booka Shade*, Pusha T, 2 Bears
Sunday: Nick Cave*, Wu-Tang, PRYDZ, La Roux, James Blake*, The Faint, Dinosaur Jr*, omd*, Tanlines, Paul Kalkbrenner*, Disclosure*, CLOUD NOTHINGS, Julio Bashmore*, Kurt Vile, Ghost
If any of you miss the Shouting Matches you're an idiot. The EP is incredibly awesome.
Need to find that EP. Would love to see this show.
I'll try to upload it when I get home tonight. It's weird, it's really hard to find but it's out there. I'll make it easy for you. Honestly, it sounds like a little more nuanced version of early Black Keys, but with less sludgy blues and more slide guitar.
And here's my current "want to see" list, though I won't make half of these I'm sure:
Friday: Blur**, Stone Roses*, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse*, Jurassic 5**, Grinderman, Dog Blood, How To Destroy Angels, Passion Pit, Band of Horses, Beach House, Local Natives, Of Monsters & Men, Infected Mushroom, Japandroids*, Divine Fits*, Johnny Marr, FOALS**, the Shouting Matches**, Four Tet**, Aesop Rock*, Alt-J**, Jello Biafra, TNGHT**, Earl Sweatshirt, Polica*, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Purity Ring, Youth Lagoon, Lee Scratch Perry, Jamie xx**, Beardyman*, the Neighbourhood
Saturday: Phoenix*, the XX, the Postal Service**, Sigur Ros**, Hot Chip**, Grizzly Bear*, Moby, Yeasayer*, Violent Femmes, Simian Mobile Disco**, Spiritualized**, Puscifer, Richie Hawtin, Dropkick Murphys, 2 Chainz, Janelle Monae, Wild Nothing, Booka Shade*, El-P*, Pusha T*, the Evens, Biffy Clyro, Theophilius London, Bauuer*, Guards, Savages, Shovels & Rope, Vintage Trouble
Sunday: Vampire Weekend*, Wu-Tang Clan**, Eric Prydz, Tame Impala, the Lumineers, James Blake**, Gaslight Anthem, the Faint, Dinosaur Jr., OMD, Roni Size*, Father John Misty, Tanlines*, Jessie Ware, Disclosure*, Cloud Nothings**, Parov Stelar, JEFF the Brotherhood, Kurt Vile, Ghost B.C.*, Deap Valley.
Sunday is clearly the weakest, though there are still more acts than I can hope to see. There are more acts I want to see Friday than any other day, though pretty much everything on Saturday falls in the "can't f*cking miss" category.

I love Yeasayer but I really wouldn't waste my time on this current show. Especially if it's conflicting with something you REALLY want to see. They "reworked" some of the older/better tunes and they just don't do them justice. It's really disappointing. Just play the damn thing as it was written, please.
I bet Four Tet conflicts with Blur or at least overlaps.
That Bauuer set is going to be a disaster Saturday.
Usually I hate the whole "I really wanted to see Artist X but now they're too popular" thing, but in the case of Bauuer, I kind of agree. That set is going to attract a TON of bros and broettes just there to hear "Harlem Shake" and do really sh*tty versions of a dance that isn't even actually the Harlem Shake. I kind of hope he plays it right away and everyone leaves, but that won't happen. I love his material, even "Harlem Shake," but the experience might be awful. Based on how he's blowing up though, I wouldn't be shocked if he got a pretty prime time slot, so there will undoubtedly be something else awesome going on that I can check out.

Probably early evening, around 4 or so. When I saw him, Harlem Shake was one of the last tunes he played. Really wish I could hear how amazing "Yaow" and "Iced Up" will sound in the Sahara. shiz is gonna rock.
Jealous of you guys seeing TNGHT too. That one is gonna be insane.

I happen to think the newest Yeasayer album is criminally underrated, and their first album is my least favorite. I have a feeling I'll like the show - if the older tunes sound anything like the way they were performed on their live album, I'll be happy.
I could see Four Tet closing the Mojave, so who knows on that. One of the mocks over on the Coach boards has Blur going before Stone Roses, but each getting about the same amount of time (I think 90 min for Blur, 70 for Stone Roses), with Four Tet closing elsewhere. If that happens I'd be pleased.

I liked Fragrant World too, but I was in love with Odd Blood (and those are the tunes that were "remixed").

How do they remix the Odd Blood songs? I love that album too. Big fan of the new one, but Odd Blood has that perfect marriage of being funky, different, and catchy. I haven't gone back to Fragrant World as much because its a little "darker," for lack of a better word.

I haven't been in a few years but it will be great to be back on the polo field. They used to not have in and out for anyone but campers but I think that has changed. If not, camelbacks are a great OK now. It will take forever to fill em up at those darn stations though.... cr****

They do allow in and outs. The water pressure at the water stations is pretty good so I don't think camelbaks will cause a problem. Especially since people will only need to fill up one thing, instead of fumbling around with multiple smaller water bottles.
This is great news!!!
Also, I would caution anyone on buying the bottled water there, if possible. I got very sick after my first Coachella, and I think part of the reason may have been their bottled water practices. They keep the bottles in large ice filled tubs, from which every single customer then fishes out their bottles...so before long, the bottled waters are floating around in an icy dirt and cootie soup.
So if you buy bottled water onsite, at least dry the bottle off before opening it.
Last year I brought in a nalgene and used the water filling stations and didn't get sick.

I just noticed Panda. Have I met you? I was a (the lolz) on a vegoose board. Went all three years. As a doggie once I love Coachella, that's why I don't get into the which is the best festy .... cr****

Last year after getting hassled at security for my camelbak, the event staff supervisor was nearby and stepped in. They insisted I leave it at the gate with a big pile of others that were confiscated. They said I could retrieve it later.
That was absurd. Those bladders are expensive, I was not about to just throw it in a pile, even with my name on it. I went and spoke with the police officers that were standing nearby about the policy. They were nice and understood, and AGREED with me that it was a ridiculous policy. I begged for them to allow me to take it back to my campsite.
With a "cmon guys" sort of nod from the police offers, the supervisor allowed me to leave the area and return to my camp. Before that, I went to the main customer service station to speak with actual Coachella people.
I told them that I respected that they had rules to follow, and I respected that they were obligated to enforce certain policies and procedures. I further said that I would like to respectfully and humbly submit an official complaint against this policy, because it really puts those in harms way and makes them risk hydration. We had a laugh about it.
I am glad to be one of the many that spoke up respectfully and without malice, this policy change is definitely a "Win!" from all angles. So thank you to everyone else that said something, or wrote an e-mail, or tweeted, etc.
By the way, I never actually returned the bladder to my campsite. Just got in a different line and went back in.

Eh, I disagree with this sentiment. I saw them in Austin when they came through last September and absolutely loved their show, including the little changes they added. Their stage setup was pretty sweet as well. Obviously it depends who they're playing against when you make the decision to check out their set or not, but I wouldn't just write them off.

They only played two songs from the first album, 2080 and Summer. They also played Tight Rope (off the Dark was the Night AIDS benefit album), which was a great surprise for myself. I was able to grab the set list from the show, so hopefully it gives you an idea of what they've been playing recently.
I've seen Yeasayer 3 times so far and I've still yet to hear Red Cave, probably my favorite song from them. Fingers crossed for next time!
Edit: Reagan's Skeleton was awesome live, definitely one of the highlights of the show.
