Multiple choice

If there's any complaint I have about Lollapalooza it is the number of cruel choices we have been forced to make. Certainly, we're not the only people who have faced these conundrums, but I think they could have spread out some of the big names a bit more. Maybe this is inevitable with eight stages.

A few of the choices:
-Day 1: The Raconteurs vs. The Cool Kids vs. Bloc Party and Stephen Malkmus.
-Day 2: Broken Social Scene vs. Battles vs. Lupe Fiasco.
-Day 3: Today we face another tough one. Love and Rockets vs. Girl Talk vs. Flosstradamus vs. Gnarls Barkley. Cee-Lo and Dangermouse of Gnarls will win out in the end, but you won't help to wonder what was going on elsewhere. There is a chance we could catch the start of Flosstradamus' set.

Oh, and the granddaddy of all of the cruel choices also is tonight. Nine Inch Nails vs. Kanye West. NIN will also win out, but if the rumored Barack Obama appearance is true we may rue the day we chose Trent over Ye.
