If you can’t make it to Coachella this year, you can watch some great performances online.  AT&T will Webcast performances from artists like Autolux, Chromeo, Datarock, DeVotchKa, Architecture in Helsinki, Hot Chip, Animal Collective, Shout Out Louds, Sia, VHS or Beta, Slightly Stoopid and more.

The moment of truth has arrived. The Coachella schedule is public.  

I see a couple of hard choices for me personally (Deadmau5 vs. The Field, Gogol Bordello vs. Booka Shade, Portishead vs. Sasha & Digweed), but overall it’s looking AMAZING.  

What are the heartwrenching decisions for you? Leave a comment.

Last night, after a great Hot Chip concert, we learned that Yelle was in Seattle and headed to her concert at the War Room. We had a blast! Check out Yelle at Coachella 2008 on Saturday.

Brings back memories. We'll miss you this year, Baris. :'[

Of course you can listen to my online mixtapes "Best Dance Parties at Coachella 2008" or "Coachella 2008 Dance", but you can get a broader selection of music by listening to this online jukebox.

DJ's at Coachella

Coachella has had some world class DJ's over the years. Last year, I saw Tiesto, Benny Benassi and an amazing Paul van Dyk (and I missed VJ Mike Relm).

Coachella 2008 has a solid line up of DJ's. Here is my Top 10, in no particular order:

Fatboy Slim

Sasha and Digweed

Adam Freeland

James Zabiela

Junkie XL

Sandra Collins

Diplo

Deadmau5

Dimitri from Paris

Above & Beyond

I admit that I could have added Justice, Boys Noize, Para One, Sebastian, Kavinsky, Busy P, but... (a) some of them are more producers than DJ's and (b) a Top 15 or 20 is not a real chart, is it?

Dance!
