dafunk back to the punk come on...
-
please dont talk about Coachella, my heart is heavy this weekend, as i am not going....
-
Ahhh the last two years at this time I was getting ready a morning flight to LAX.
Not this year :(
-
I was all set on going, then I saw the lineup (actually, in all fairness to the lineup, I was sort of holding out to see what bumbershoot had....then I saw....then I wish I had chosen coachella, lol)
-
I have been the past 2 years but am missing this year. Heading to Lolla in August instead.... not sure if that was a good decision or not.

I think it was the right choice.

2 years ago this time, i was in the process of driving out there. i think i spent the night of the 27th in albuquerque after driving 13+ hours 2 straight days.
that was a fun trip.

It's just another weekend, just like the last five years at this time.

I hope so. I am however suffering thorugh a major case of withdrawl. Even though the music was not quite what I was looking for this year in Coachella there is just something nice about being in the valley.... o well maybe next year... and another year without In and Out burger... how sad.
-
Yeah, I didn't think I'd care that much this year, since the lineup doesn't really impress me. But now seeing the schedule (http://www.coachella.com/06times.html) posted, I'm starting to feel very nostalgic for this time last year.
Oh yeah, and In-N-Out....now I'm really sad :(
-
Sunday looks much better, there's at least 5 bands/performers I would like to see........Saturday it would only be one.
-
I saw this year's schedule and have to admit that I'm happy I'm not going. I'm way more excited about seeing Belle and Sebastian and the Shins at the Hollywood Bowl!
-
I really just want to be in Indio again. The schedule just reminded me of last year, and trying to plan out my day. If I was going this year, I'd be pissed that Editors, YYYs, Digable Planets all overlap.
...and She Wants Revenge gets to close out the Outdoor Theatre.

Secret's Out
Coachella has had acts who've packed a lot of bodies on stage -- the white-robed wonders of the Polyphonic Spree, the myriad musicians of Belle and Sebastian, costumed crazies with the Flaming Lips and a passel of Perry Farrell's dancers all come to mind. Gnarls Barkley is making that group photo a tough assignment too; Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo have 14 backup musicians.
And this just in: Gnarls Barkley's is playing a "secret show" (well, maybe not so secret now) at 7 p.m. Friday at the Roxy. It's free. It's first-come, first-served. Let the line starting forming on Sunset Boulevard now.

Just got back this evening. There were many great performances, but the highlights for me were Massive Attack, Daft Punk and The Dears. One of the biggest surprises for me was Wolfmother. I could barely get in the Mojave Tent, but what I saw was great. Others that I really enjoyed: My Morning Jacket, Mates of State, Giant Drag, THe Octopus Project and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
-
did Giant Drag pack a big crowd?
-
(hi, katie)
daft punk was beyond brilliant. i thought about selling my day 2 ticket and chilling at the pool because i knew everything would pale (it did, although massive attack & seu jorge were great).
when those four gongs at the beginning of "aerodynamic" came on...then it went directly into "one more time"... i will probably never again experience a more live/louder concert crowd than that moment. that tent absolutely exploded.
if you have the means, fly out to spain or belgium and catch them. it will be more than well worth it.
i'll try and put up some pictures soon..

Why would they boo the best performer there?

im sure a few people booed but most of the 30k that stuffed the sahara tent and its outside surroundings were going hysterically apeshit.

Reportedly, she was 20 minutes late and only played six songs - mostly newish ones.

Were there still way too many women sporting those Asian paper parasols? I always found that most disconcerting -- even more so than last year when everyone donned their Gram Rabbit ears.
