for being shit, I had a blast... the musical lineup wasn't what it was 8 years ago, but times change, music changes and I'm in my 30s now so of course the appeal wasn't the same. I do have to say I enjoyed hanging out in Palm Springs, which is strange because it didn't make much sense to drive almost 4 hours from one desert resort location to another desert resort location to relax.

When I saw her name I thought either no way she'd show up or wouldn't it be great to see what a train wreck she still is.

Paul McCartney? Are they trying to cater to the locals?

there are rumors that more acts will be added to the Sahara tent (possibly Orbital or Chemical Brothers or Basement Jaxx) and a bigger headliner for Saturday night.

I read an interesting article with Perry Ferrell a couple months back which pretty much summed up the state of music today.
His point was there is no quality control these days. In the current age of the internet and DIY everyone thinks they are musicians and it floods the scene with watered down music, half-assed rip offs and a sea of one offs. There are no more super acts that will be coming along that can sell out arenas on their own. those days are over.
This is totally true. More than half of the bands on that bill are just that. A mirror image of every other band.

I paid 30 (fuck you ticketmaster) to go see Wale at teh Key Club on thursday. Best concert of my life. Super small venue with a lot of talent.
I dont know if Coachella would be as cool since its so big. Wouldn't there just be a helluva lot of douches? I've never been but i might get free tix this year so who knows.

wow the lineup really runs the gamut, it goes from easy listening to VH1...

its a big festival, the promoters want to make money so they throw everything and anyone there that has a following in order to pack more people, that's all it is..
if you are on the right mindset with friends, you will have a good time, even with bands you don't care about.. who knows maybe you discover something new.
