like I said rarely.. The Black Keys blew up so much in popularity in last 6 months that they probably made an exception.

That tends to be true, Ro, but didn't the Black Keys play last year too? It seems weird that they're headlining to me...

Best Coast and Sleigh Bells played last year, they rarely have bands back the very next year. No Doubt were always shitty.

I for one cannot wait for people born in the 90s who have only ever heard "Fade Into You" to complain about what a letdown the Mazzy Star set was, totally too soft and draggy for a massive outdoor festival crowd, etc.

I sort of imagine that the temptation for the people in charge of Coachella is just to constantly dangle enormous sums of money in front of legendarily estranged ex-bandmates and see what it would take (and then laugh cruelly when it's discovered how much more cheaply, say, Jay Farrar or Damon & Naomi would come than Tweedy or Wareham).

Also: what "RF" said.

No Doubt is not shitty. You're shitty.
