As is the case with any festival, the time will inevitably come when you have to pick between two bands you want to see that are playing at the same time.

This past weekend I had to make some tough decisions and pick one artist over another (and in some cases, over yet another). Since everyone’s musical taste is differs, some of you will disagree; leave your gripes in the comments and be done with it. Here are [...]

Thumpty-dump, thumpty-dump, thumpty-dump! Weaving through dense traffic on I-10, blazing past the gargantuan Cabazon dinosaurs and billboards championing musicians of all flavors (from the XX to Ghost BC), speeding by battalions of wind turbines is the greying asphalt that leads to Indio, CA - aka, the "out there" world of Coachella Music and Arts Festival . It's a wild sight once you're there: Ticketholders - fresh off the freeway from office cubicles and lecture halls - sport pasty complexions and keen, darting eyes. The air's filled with overheard chatter about the schedule, what kind of cute outfits everyone's packed, and whether [...]

Check out some of the videos captured below of the Day 1 Coachella performances   ;

What does it feel like when two worlds that seem so different suddenly weld together to create one brain crushing world that doesn't feel like your own at all? I can only imagine that it feels similar to the strangeness of breathing underwater. Not only the surreal idea itself, but the weirdness of actually being able to do it with your nose, sans gils. Sometimes, you encounter this feeling after a serious life event: death, end of love, a sudden move to a new place. The reality is that the brain despises change. That, and our brains try to multi-task [...]
