I will be gone this weekend for Coachella, so no blog updates. I will, however, update my Twitter, which you can follow below:

In case you haven’t heard, the set times for all the acts at Coachella have been announced and luckily for me there are not many conflicts with my dream schedule. I will have to choose between Morrissey and Beirut (leaning toward Moz), which will be tough, I’ll have to leave The Cure early to see Throbbing Gristle, and I will be forced to stand through Conor Oberst’s set to get a good spot for Leonard Cohen, but all-in-all I can’t complain.
My new schedule:
Friday-
We are Scientists 2:50-3:40
The Black Keys 5:20-6:10 (leave early for…)
Conor Oberst 6:10-7:00
Leonard Cohen 7:30-8:30
Morrissey or Beirut 8:30-9:30
Paul McCartney 10:00
Saturday-
Drive-By Truckers 3:40-4:30
Amanda Palmer 5:00-5:50
TV on the Radio 6:25-7:15
Booker T. 7:30-8:20
M.I.A. 8:55-9:45
The Killers 10:25
Sunday-
Brian Jonestown Massacre 4:00-4:55
Antony and the Johnsons 5:25-6:15
Yeah Yeah Yeahs 6:15-7:15
(the rest of) Paul Weller until 7:50
My Bloody Valentine 7:50-9:00
The Cure 9:25
(leave about an hour or so after to catch…)
Throbbing Gristle 10:10
Yusuf’s new album is available for preorder on Amazon with a release date of 5/5/09. To promote the new album, Yusuf will be playing a small number of shows in North America, including Toronto, LA, and New York. No further details are yet available.

My adoring fans,
It regrets me to inform you that I will be away from home the next three Sundays, so I will not be able to update my Top Five Albums series during that time. I will be on Catalina Island the first two Sundays and then at Coachella on the third.
But do not fear, I will think of something worthwhile to put up instead.
