I would give my left pinky to see this turn into another War on Drugs/Mark Kozelek situation. U2 guitarist The Edge tells Rolling Stone (emphasis mine):
The band that I liked at Coachella was Cage the Elephant. Their commitment to the performance really blew so much of the other stuff away. They really did own it in a way that few other artists did. Broken Bells were great, and Skrillex's thing was pretty cool. Pixies were on, that was good to see them. And I love Outkast. Some of the more strange hippie stuff wasn't that great. Neutral Milk Hotel, you know them? If you were sort of one of the faithful, you could sort of get excited about it. It didn't really have a universal appeal at all.
Confidential to Jeff Mangum: If you wanna fire back at that beanie-wearin' butthole exclusively via Homedrone, I am very down. HMU.
