Glass Candy, M.Ward, and Blitzen Trapper have joined the ranks of... um... uh... sorry, I lost my train of thought when I saw these two words: Leonard Cohen. Finally, Coachella steps up and provides music fans everywhere with with an ideal environment to properly enjoy Leonard Cohen (in a smoldering hot field, shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of others, and minutes before Franz Ferdinand plays). Hmmm, perhaps I'll just stay home that night and listen to Songs of Love and Hate on the stereo.

But if you are going to Coachella—April 17th-19th—it's best you buy your tickets soon. At least for the first day, since the kids these days love their Beatles (with their cute hair and songs about hand-holding), and their Moz as well (with his cute hair and songs about hand-holding). Three day passes are "$269.00 +$3 charity + $9 facility fee" ($431? I can't add.), or individual day passes are "$99.00 +$1 charity + $3 facility fee." And since we are in a recession, Coachella's promoters are offering a layaway plan. Personally, I was just going to hop the fence and pin an "I.O.U." note to Amy Winehouse's forehead—she can't feel a thing—but layaway might be a better option.

Full details, and terrible Paul McCartney quote, after the jump.

"I have heard that Coachella is one of the greatest festivals in the world. I'm really excited to get out there and rock!" McCartney says.
