beat scene

the street scene lineup landed with a big thud today, as people came to the realization that muse is actually headlining one night of the festival (i'm actually a fan, but muse as headliners?), no big hip hop names are in the lineup (thanks del mar, your new lily-white street scene hosts!), and g-love and special sauce are actually in the top half of the lineup list.

actually, spoon was not in the earlier listing i saw, and coupled with air and editors, there's a few good reasons to go. but not nearly enough for $120. in fact, the drop-off from coachella, which i unfortunately missed this year, is remarkable, given the mere $25/day price difference.

very disappointing, but not surprising...
