...or "Yes, the Suze, finally some Airborne Toxic Event news".
On first glance I actually vomited a little in my mouth when I saw the headliners, the choice of which are unfortunate to say the least. But thankfully nearly everyone else on the top half of the list ranges from 'interesting' to 'awesome'. This year does a fantastic job of covering just about everything, and as a bonus, their website contains 3-5 streaming songs from every single artist, so you can find out for yourself.
For the token festival black people, John Legend, Mos Def, and K'Naan are a more awesome than usual group.
From the weird reunions/holy shit I didn't know they were still alive group, you've got Sonic Youth, the Toadies, and the B-52s.
Linking all of these is dumb since clicking any of them will take you to to the full list with their info and sample songs, so just do that.
Hilariously white people dancing makes a strong showing with Ghostland Observatory, Girl Talk, and !!!.
You've got the usual indie contingent, of course, with The Decemberists, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, and Andrew Bird.
It's also better rock than usual: Clutch, the aforementioned Suze-approved Airborne Toxic Event, and Coheed & Cambria. Also Pearl Jam if you're into that snorefest.
I'll also give a personal endorsement to Heartless Bastards, who I saw open for Andrew Bird and were amazing.
Anybody great from the bottom half of the list? The only glaring genre missing is dad-rock, which really only gets Levon Helm, a big drop from last year's John Fogerty and Robert Plant
