We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
IF I were going with my good friend from Georgia, here's what I'd do.
Friday: Rural Alberta Advantage, !!!, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Odd Future, Tame Impala, Cold War Kids, The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Nosaj Thing, Gayngs
Saturday: Trampled by Turtles, Tallest Man on Earth, Delta Spirit, Cage the Elephant, The New Pornographers, Bright Eyes, Mumford and Sons, Animal Collective, Raphael Saadiq, Daedelus. (I'd wouldn't go see Arcade Fire since I'd be seeing them at Roo)
Sunday: Good Old War, Phosphorescent, Menomena, Angus and Julia Stone, HEALTH, DFA1979, The National, Chromeo, PJ Harvey, Kayne West/The Presets
Every time I feel bad about not going to Coachella I see that everyone plays for 30-45 minutes and feel better about it. That being said have fun guys looks like a great weekend.
Eh, if anything, I think sometimes Bonnaroo lets bands go for too long. There's no reason anyone in the world needs 90+ minutes of Jack Johnson, or more than an hour of G.Love, or SCI, or more than 10 minutes of Neon Trees or Lotus. Some of the newer, younger, up-and-coming bands out there don't have a ton of material, so it's often painful to watch them try and stretch their show into something it's not.
Still not as painful as finding out Leonard Cohen played for 45 minutes. I like long sets assuming I can find something I want to see. What they do certainly gets crappy artists off the stage faster, but it gets the good stuff off faster as well, and cuts down on the possibility of a "legendary" show.

It's kind of shocking to see that bands like The Black Keys and Mumford & Sons only get 50 minutes. I understand only giving 30-45 minutes to the early bands, especially since that's all most of them really need. But it's weird to see the big names not getting much time. The Black Keys will get nearly double that amount of time at Hangout and Bonnaroo, and they're not billed any higher on either of those lineups.

I feel pretty much the same way. And yeah, Leonard Cohen playin' fer such a short time is just sad.

Not checking out Leftfield? That's one of my top 3 acts of the whole weekend.
That's a pretty rough conflict, but I'd have no problem skipping PJ Harvey for Leftfield... rare act, and one of the best electronic groups of all time. But, I'm sure PJ will be great.
Good nuts or bad nuts? I don't know a thing about the stages.
Sahara tent is the rave tent. Roo needs one of these in a big, big way. unlike your standard festie tent, this one is fully decked out with front to back lighting (ceiling / a bit on the sides) that gets integrated into the performers lighting...
enjoy - all that are attending this year. if you are driving in - remember, leave REALLY early. traffic is a real bitch.
I usually lurk the Coachella boards during the time the line-up and set times come out. The one thing I noticed is that the folks over there don't do any mock schedules at all. You would think that since the festival doesn't release the schedule til a few days before, people there would be more prone to that.

DON'T MISS WIRE.
PJ is also a super rare act.
I was under the impression that PJ Harvey toured the States a fair bit more than Leftfield. But, you can't go wrong either way... It'd just be really hard to steer me away from a Leftfield set.

What are you talking about? There are three separate huge mock schedule threads, broken up by day:
