Woke up to an explosion of blogs about the announcement of a reunion of the post-hardcore band At The Drive-In, followed by the announcement of punk band Refused's reunion and now the ultimate with the official line-up of Coachella 2012 in which the two bands are a part of (which also makes up for the fake poster I posted months ago).

My Coachella Wish List:

The Black Keys, Swedish House Mafia, Refused, Arctic Monkeys, Afrojack, M83, The Rapture, Madeon, Alesso, SebastiAn, Neon Indian, Breakbot, Feed Me, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Kaskade, Miike Snow, Sebastian Ingrosso, Feist, Martin Solveig, SBTRKT, Kasabian, A$AP Rocky, Kaiser Chiefs, Childish Gambino, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, At The Drive-In, Florence + The Machine, Avicii, La Roux, The Weeknd, DJ Shadow, Calvin Harris, Nero, Dada Life, Porter Robinson, Santigold, Flux Pavilion, Gotye, Zedd, and Morgan Page. To name a few...

Anyone have a spare plane ticket to Coachella I could use?

Shit just got serious for this year's Coachella. 2 big reunions for 2012 namely At The Drive-In breaking their 11-year silence (announcing a reunion via a cryptic tweet) and I just found out that they're getting a Refused reunion too! Crazy! This news just intensifies my depression of not being able to go! Here's what the group had to say about the reunion...

Says Refused:

We never did The Shape of Punk to Come justice back when it came out, too tangled up in petty internal bickering to really focus on the job. And suddenly there’s this possibility to do it like it was intended. We wanna do it over, do it right. For the people who’ve kept the music alive through the years, but also for our own sakes. 

We feel that you deserve it and we hope the feeling is mutual. 

See you in the pit.
