The Blek Tour Diary
Rishu Singh brings us the behind-the-scenes photos from the Blek tour of Northeast India . It's all about food, travel, ammo and zutho.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg closed down Coachella 2012 with a sprawling set that spanned throwback G-funk, all-time gangsta classics (thanks to that 2Pac hologram ), stoner anthems (thanks to Wiz Khalifa and a blunt big enough to mellow out a rhinoceros) and new jams (like "The Recipe" with Compton's own Kendrick Lamar ). Eminem and 50 Cent showed up too, probably ranking the performance as the [...]
Feist chose Coachella to kick off her new tour, and she did so in grand fashion: she brought a full orchestra to back her on the festival's Outdoor Theatre stage, where she thrilled fans with Metals songs and her whimsical sense of humor. After playing "Caught A Long Wind", she mentioned as an aside that it was "an outtake from The Chronic ", a cute nod to Sunday night's massively tipped headlining performance by Dr. Dre (along with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and some holograms). The Canadian songbird's appearance represented one of Coachella's classiest sets [...]
Miike Snow attracted a massive crowd to Coachella's outdoor stage, where they pumped out slithery, high-BPM jams under an elaborate lighting rig that cast the oft-mysterious band in shadow. Huge applause greeted hits from their debut album, like "Silvia", but the crowd also seemed psyched for the trio's latest, Happy To You — and just in case, the band (2/3 of whom, of course, are Swedish producers Bloodshy & Avant) amped up their performance of new jam "Black Tin Box" by bringing out fellow Swede Lykke Li , [...]
"Coachella ... will remember this all my life!" Martin Solveig tweeted along with a picture of the jam-packed Sahara tent taken before his set during Day 2, Weekend 1 of Coachella 2012 . The "Give Me All Your Luvin'" producer was definitely getting love from the crowd with mixes of Calvin Harris ' "Feel So Close" . And while we were a bit surprised that Dragonette didn't appear on stage to lend her vocals to "Hello", the [...]
If you were lucky enough to fight your way through Day 22s Most Unruly Crowd gathered in the overflowing the tent last night (April 14) to watch David Guetta do his thing at Coachella you were treated to quite the set. The French DJ not only mixed Aviici's "Levels" with SNL performer Gotye's "Somebody I Used To Know" as well as fan favorites "Memories" , Sia collaboration "Titanium" and "When Love Takes Over, the upcoming V Festival performer also had a special guest [...]
Is waiting really the hardest part? The sense of anticipation for evening sets from Radiohead, the Shins, Feist and Bon Iver seemed palpable Saturday at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival , but the huge crowd were offered more than just time-killers leading up to those critical darlings. Tucked away in the tents were the likes of the Vaccines, Dragonette, Azealia Banks, the Head and the Heart and Buzzcocks, waiting to deliver a rush of blood to the head. And songstress Laura Marling and St. Vincent joined Feist to form a triumvirate of [...]
Frank Ocean may have silky smooth vocals, but his Coachella set was unfortunately anything but — technical issues delayed Ocean's eagerly awaited performance by a good 15 minutes, and sound troubles plagued him throughout. Still, he put on an intriguing set, beginning with an unexpected cover of Bob Dylan 's classic "Long Time Gone" before knocking out the his own swoon-inducing "Thinking About You". Ocean had another surprise in store too — his Odd Future colleague Tyler, The Creator joined for "Analog 23, off the recent The OF Tape Vol. 2 recording. But [...]
"Laying here awake in bed man. Can't sleep. I was born in CA and I've been waiting to play @Coachella my whole life," Wallpaper . frontman Ricky Reed tweeted prior to his group's first official performance at the music festival on Friday (April 13). But this isn't the Oakland quartet's first appearance at Coachella. Back in 2008, our SXSW Pray For Pop ac t was busted by the police for rocking in the music fest's parking lot. Ricky even joked earlier in the day via Twitter , [...]
Kendrick Lamar has spent the last several days helping to stoke the excitement for Sunday's headlining performance by Dr. Dre (strongly rumored to feature holograms of the late Nate Dogg, and possibly of Tupac Shakur). "People are going to cry", Lamar told Power 106 this week. But Lamar is no slouch himself, and helped kick off this year's Coachella with a punchy main-stage set dropping fluid verses from his Section.80 collection, including "A.D.H.D." and ""Rigamortus". (Fellow rapper Childish Gambino — aka Donald Glover — was seen rhyming [...]
Who: James on the main stage In 3 or Fewer Words: Glad you're back. Memorable Because: The least ballyhooed of the U.K. veterans to invade Coachella this year, the Mancunian septet showed why Britpop never gets old. Singer Tim Booth kicked off the set by beckoning the muddy skies with a shout of "Come on thunder!" and then proceeded to deliver a 50-minute tour de catalogue that ended with fans onstage dancing to the hit "Laid." Booth waded into the crowd on "Sit Down," the second song, singing first from the [...]
It was a good day for hoodies, hot chocolate and huddled masses on Friday at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio. A day that began under sunny skies with temperatures in the 70s turned blustery as a mid-afternoon storm front blew through, sending temperatures plummeting and pelting festival-goers with intermittent cold rain. Maybe it was just another Friday 13th, or maybe the big guy just gazed down and saw too many crimes against fashion, but the skies cried and Coachella shivered and whined. Girls who who started the day in [...]
Everything's coming up Nicki Minaj . The raptress already has the #1 album in the country, and now the "Beez In The Trap" artist can add Adidas to her ever-growing list of endorsements. (If you remember, Nicki sported the athletic company's logo on her cheerleading uniform during her cameo in Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin'" video .) Between promoting Pepsi , launching her OPI nail polish line and being the face of MAC Viva Glam , she might dethrone Jennifer Lopez [...]
Miley Cyrus has been turning heads on the red carpet over the last few months thanks in part to her chic (yet age-appropriate) style, but mainly it's her super fit bod. Guess the pop star isn't looking to keep her fitness regime a secret, as the 19-year-old was spotted leaving Pilates class in West Hollywood on Thursday morning (April 12). But not everyone is pleased with Miley's new figure. The tattoo-loving singer took to Twitter recently to respond to claims that her recent weight loss was due to an eating disorder, saying [...]
Madonna isn't letting her recent 86.7% drop in album sales get her down. Not only does the timeless diva now have a Jean Paul Gaultier Diet Coke bottle designed in her likeness to celebrate, she's also got the launch of her new Truth Or Dare fragrance line to focus on. The pop icon arrived at Macy's Herald Square on Thursday night (Apr. 12) looking absolutely flawless in her black Dolce & Gabbana dress as she met and greeted the lucky first 200 customers. Check out Madonna as she strikes [...]

One Direction has already conquered North America — with a Billboard #1 debut , an upcoming treatment on Glee , and an SNL gig — so, next stop Australia! With so much going on, the fivesome was able to steal some downtime while down under and enjoyed an afternoon of fishing, boating and relaxation on Sydney Harbour. Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson even tried their best at catching some waves at Manly Beach. (Guess that threat of a [...]
