Last Monday is officially know as the most depressing day of the year but we’re having none of it. In a squirt of good news, Coachella announced its desert stomping lineup for this year’s festival. While we’re almost half a world away, the three-day April festival in the Cali desert looks damned tempting.

Girls, Beach House, Sunny Day Real Estate, Echo and the Bunnymen, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Miike Snow and the Dirty Projectors would be on my list. Who would be on yours?

Three day tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am (PST) for $272 (around €192) plus service fees.

To coincide with this Friday being Good News Friday, we’re kicking off a new feed collecting our upbeat posts plus curious things we find on the web.

And when we started to roll out the Bright Side feed, we thought we’d roll out separate feeds for our different topics. So if you’re a politics junkie, you can avoid the toilet jokes we plan to write in The Snug.

Here are the subscription links:

Bright Side – Good news from our feeds
Ireland – Irish news and current affairs
World – News and current affairs from around the world
Liveblogs – Liveblogging events that we host or help on
The Snug – The off-topic, fluff stuff that you guiltily read
Culture & Living – Movies, music and cultural bits

Oh yes and you can still subscribe to the full Election.ie feed too!
