Coachella 2014: Indie Band Playlist

It's that time of year again! Here are 22 indie bands you should check out on those delicious two weekends in April. Obviously you're excited about Outkast (even though you only know four of their songs), and you're planning on Arcade Fire, Beck and all the obvious shit. What about the obscure dreamers at the bottom of the Coachella poster? That's why I'm here, friend.

One note: I hate YouTube commercials, so I tend to select videos with low view counts. This means some of these tunes might eventually get deleted. Just in case, here's the original track listing (which also fits neatly on your typical CD-R if you wanna buy the songs and support the artists like I did).
