Coachella-goers: by now, hopefully, you've got yourself together. You're dressed, ready, you've studied the setlist, maybe you're even at the gates already. But, tragic as it is to admit, you can't be everywhere at once, so you've still got some tough choices to make. Well don't worry, we cover Coachella year-round around these parts, and that means we've already prepared a day-by-day breakdown of our top picks for unmissable shows– some headliners and some more obscure.

In a sense, the third and final day of Coachella is the trickiest for both the schedulers and the festival-goers themselves. With two straight days of desert heat, nonstop music, killer parties, and whatever, um, extracurricular activities you may be getting into under the belt, it may feel like a challenge to maintain a third full of day of music. But Goldenvoice isn't exactly going easy on us with the Day 3 lineup this year, having put together a collection of highly energetic, much anticipated acts that will challenge you to get your weight up for one last day and make the most of your time in the desert.

Holy crap, you guys, Coachella is one day closer than it was yesterday!

The blogosphere and social media platforms collectively took a giant shidoobee in their cyber panties yesterday afternoon at the announcement of the highly speculated Coachella 2012 lineup. Would the fact that this year's festival expanding to two consecutive weekends featuring the same lineup and set schedule preclude certain artists from being able to play? I guess we'll never know, but it doesn't seem to have thrown too much of a wrench in getting dope musical acts on the bill, even though Daft Punk and David Bowie are once again absent from the list (Goldenvoice, how many times do I have to ask you to make that happen?).

Facebook revealed perhaps the most prolific of changes to its popular site yesterday at a conference that all of the nerds dubbed "f8." There were panels all day to speak with the designers and programmers, and even Apple-like videos produced to walk you through the "new kind of profile" Timeline.  Add in a partnership with the buzzing Spotify music company, and well, we can imagine it was just about nerd prom over there at the Palo Alto FB offices this week. What was the point in all of this? Besides a couple hundred programmers getting laid last night, it was basically all done so that Marky Mark Z could meet his childhood idol, Snoop Dog. Hosted by buddy Sean Parker, check out more from the Spotify F8 Launch Party: More»

We've all had a chance to examine the official lineup for Coachella 2011, and therefore a chance to marvel at how we more or less nailed it with our early predictions. While some websites would be content to pat themselves on the back, we are not. Which is why I'm delighted to announce our next big scoop: early information and analysis on some huge special unannounced acts for each day of the festival. More»
