Dig, if you will, the picture: three days in the desert, 100-plus degree temperatures, and a Saturday headlining date with His Royal Purple Majesty (or whatever he's calling himself these days). Coachella 2008 has cooked up an impressive, indie-leaning roster: Friday night belongs to the Verve, Aphex Twin, and Alison Goldfrapp's chilled-out new tunes. Things get heavier on Saturday when M.I.A. beats up the desert along with Cold War Kids, Death Cab for Cutie, Portishead, and a late live set from Prince. If you're still alive by Sunday, catch '80s synth kids Chromeo, Spiritualized, Sia, Gogol Bordello, and Roger Waters.
