Luckily for Coachella 2009 festival-goers, the powers that be moved the dates forward two weeks, so hopefully it won't be so hot. This is probably as early as it can get because spring in Coachella Valley is notoriously windy-not even counting this particularly bad "wind event" that occurred only a couple of weeks ago. One of this year's art exhibits is a giant mister designed by Ball-Nogues Studio in Echo Park, CA, called Elastic Plastic Sponge . It's 250 feet long and 25 feet wide [...]

Tinariwen We're 13 days away from this year's Coachella festival. I'm heading down on Saturday the 18th to enjoy the festivities. I'm looking forward to catching Thenewno2, Tinariwen and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's sets (schedule permitting). Tinariwen is a band formed in 1982 of Tuareg people who had been drafted into Muammar al-Gaddafi's army. They play in the Tishoumaren ("music of the unemployed") style, and sing mostly in the French and Tamashek languages. The group is know for their extraordinary guitar play. Thenewno2 is [...]

George Harrison's son Dhani starts a band with a terrible name and releases an album of vaguely psychedelic guit-tronica.
thenewno2 is fronted by Dhani Harrison, George Harrison's son. The band released their debut album You Are Here last August digitally and it is now being released "officially" in CD format as well.

No, this ghost was very much alive and would probably not enjoy being called a ghost at all. Through a combination of a new album and a rather meticulously designed photo shoot, for a brief moment I could almost imagine it was a different era and one of my musical idols was still [...]
