Lollapalooza Lineup Leaks

Thanks to Chris for pointing out that Brooklyn Social Ski Club (who I haven't read enough lately -- ed., point proven) has the official Lollapalooza lineup. The lineup, and my initial thoughts, below:
Pearl Jam, Daft Punk, Ben Harper, Muse, Iggy & The Stooges, Modest Mouse, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, Satellite Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, The Roots, Patti Smith, Kings Of Leon, The Black Keys, Regina Spektor, Spoon, Lupe Fiasco, TV On The Radio, Pete Yorn, G. Love, Paolo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, LCD Soundsystem, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Silverchair, Femi Kuti, Yo La Tengo, Hold Steady, Jack's Mannequin, Stephen Marley, STS9, MIA, Slightly Stoopid, Blonde Redhead, Sparklehorse, Sean Lennon, !!!, Blue October, Son Volt, Motion City Soundtrack, Polyphonic Spree, Peter Bjorn & John, Silversun Pickups, CSS, The Rapture, The Wailers, Roky Erickson, Tapes N Tapes, Heartless Bastards, The View, The Cribs, The Fratellis, Ghostland Observatory, Tokyo Police Club, Rhymefest, Soulive, Cold War Kids, Annuals, Fields, Electric Six, Jim Noir, Elvis Perkins, Sam Roberts, Black Angels, Charlie Musselwhite, Aqueduct, Juliette & The Licks, Dios, Viva Voce, David Vandervelde, Los Campesinos!, Chin Up Chin Up, Ryan Shaw, Colour Revolt, Satin Peaches, Illinois, Arckid, Mickey Avalon, The 1900s, Bang Bang Bang, Bound Stems, High Class Elite Carey Ott
Bands that excite me: Pearl Jam (never seen them), Iggy and Stooges (awesome), Interpol, My Morning Jacket (one of the best live acts around), Patti Smith, Spoon, CYHSY, Yo La Tengo, Hold Steady, Blonde Redhead, Heartless Bastards, The View (yeah, right), Tokyo Police Club, Elvis Perkins, David Vandervelde, Son Volt, Silversun Pickups, Sparklehorse.

Decent but not great: Peter Bjorn and John, Muse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Roots, Black Keys, TVOTR, Fratellis

Smaller acts I'm looking forward to catching: Illinois, Bound Stems, Annuals, Sam Roberts, Aqueduct, Fields

Acts I will be running away from: Ben Harper, Satellite Party (Perry and Nuno), Snow Patrol, Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini, MIA

Acts I'm glad are playing because they'll attract crowds away from me: Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, CSS, The Rapture (notice a trend?)

WTF?!?!: Silverchair, Juliet and the Licks

Can't they just go away now?: Polyphonic Spree

Edited to Add: The official list is out, and there's one more big name -- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists! Kick ass.
