Coachella, officially the biggest music festival in the country, is just a couple of weeks away. It's gotten so big that organizers decided to do the festival two weekends in a row this year. The first will take place on April 13-15 and the second on April 20-22, and if all goes well, both weekends will feature roughly the same lineup -- Radiohead, The Black Keys, Dr. Dre, Bon Iver, At the Drive-In, and tons more.

But it's certainly not the only festival in town. Bonnaroo will go off in June, and Lollapalooza lands in early August. It's not always easy to find the perfect lineup within a reasonable distance, but if you keep your eyes peeled there's bound to be a festival out there that can whet your musical appetite. And if you simply can't make it, digital streaming is becoming more widely available, so you can witness the magic on your own terms, in your own living room.

When you have a moment, make sure to take our 10-question music festival Quick Poll and fill us in on your festival-going preferences. We'd love to hear from you!

    I don't tend to spend a lot of time on my phone at a festival, it would seem like I was not relishing the opportunities in front of me. I do however log on to Twitter/Facebook on certain days to find out about secret sets, and unannounced things happening. I found out about Radiohead, Pulp and Them Crooked Vultures secret sets at two different festivals on the day. It's a good tool to use during the festival, but don't let it distract from your experience.

    Hearing how others have become obsessed with Twitter and wasted their life away tweeting every move and thought, and knowing how obsessive I can be with Social Media, I have avoided Twitter like the plague.

    I DEPISE the whole process of trying/competing to buy tickets through TicketMaster and how expensive every step of the process is I don't even bother anymore. Worse if you have to buy them through second sellers.

    Why wasn't there a choice for OTHER or NONE OF THE ABOVE? I know of some artists who won't allow cameras or video recorders to be used at their concerts. Besides, the quality of the pictures and videos taken at various venues and then posted on YouTube usually have such terrible quality, they're not worth saving for posterity's sake. Most of today's music festivals have artists and groups suck. You have to sit through a bunch of crapulous bands you don't like before getting to the group(s) you really wanted to see. The festivals in America pretty much suck big ones. The best rock concerts, if you like hard rock and metal, are Rock am Ring in Germany and many other venues in Europe. Monster Magnet and even bands like Metallica, when they go on world tours, play most of their concerts in Europe. None of the music festivals in the U.S. interests me enough to pay to see them.

    And what do I use most at concerts and festivals? Well, I usually start out by using weed, then I like to throw in some acid and crystal meth for good measure. Good times...

    NONE. I take pictures and that's it. Why the hell would you be online during an awesome show other than to check in, and you should do that when you're in line, not while watching the show.

    I really don't use any of these at a concert because I paid money to be there. If I wanted to be on facebook that badly, I could have stayed home.

    Actually, I'm lying. I don't use any social media at a festival. I'm there for the music, so I'm not going to waste a bunch of time on an electric device when I should be soaking up the experience. I'll blawg about it later.

    I just said "tumblr..." because I wanted to ask:

    What do you mean by "using" these websites at concerts and festivals? I mean, why go in the first place, if you're not there to party and enjoy the show?
