I felt it necessary to have their name in capitals in the title. Hopefully the capitals gave you an impression of their importance, of how much they stand out, of how much they ROCK. In the literal sense, and in the cool sense too. I was studying today for a ridiculous amount of hours and you know when you're just sick of everything on your music player even though you JUST put new stuff on it? I couldn't really decide what to listen to and then my eye caught The Black Keys . I haven't listened to [...]

The Presets consist of Julian Hamiliton and Kim Moyes based out of Sydney , Australia. Their most recent album Apocalypso released in '08 along with the kajillion of remixes they put out are great listens. The music itself is fast paced, high BPM, dark electronic dance with the fundamental digital synth hook to keep you on your toes. The best part of the Presets, IMO, is Hamilton's vocals. It's just one of those voices that are unforgettable, a marker of what's to come. Hamilton's vocals are dark, [...]

I really don't think I need to do any introduction to one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time. One issue I do have is how LOW PE is put on the Coachella poster!!! Third tier?!?!?!?! If anything they should be next to headlining or HEADLINING!!! But I guess the genres of scheduled bands around that time wouldn't be too fluid. But let's not forget Pemberton! When Death Cab's Ben Gibbard was like, "uh I think this is the only time in my life when I'll get to say this...JAY-Z everybody!"...or [...]

Junior Boys are a Canadian indie electronic pop band from Hamilton, Ontario consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus. They've released Last Exit back in 2004 and the critically acclaimed, and IMO, one of the best Canadian albums of the decade, So This is Goodbye in 2006. Their sound is smooth, and ambient. It's elegant rich pop and refurbished synths. Greenspan's voice lulls you into a conscious sleep, it's a voice that sooths the complexities of your day. It's a voice for those late nights. Junior Boys is late night music. It is top floor sky [...]

I don't remember which show this was...possibly Simian Mobile Disco ? Who BTW are working on an album coming out in 2009!!! THIS IS THE BEST YEAR EVER!!!! =) My favorite tent at Coachella, of the 5, that I can remember, is the Sahara Tent. Appropriately named, this tent is HOOOOOT like the desert sun not only because well, we are under the beating rays of the Coachella Valley sun, but also because this tent is THE party tent. The energy to dance for 12 hours straight is a prerequisite once entering because it goes NON STOP [...]

Who is that on stage...hmmm...oh yeah. PRINCE!!!!! (Best c'hella ever) Coachella is pretty much my favorite time of the year...the ENTIRE year. After all my hard studying (at perfecting procrastination), working 20-25 hours a week, and not to mention extra stuff like chillin' avec friends, alcoholism, seeing live shows, watching theatre, loving couchsurfing, and a whackload of other shit, the end of April not only signifies the end of term for me-and this year...GRADUATION!!! YAYYYYYY!-but also the 3 day mayhem of blessed heavenly live music delight of epic proportions--->>>Coachella!!! I think Coachella is [...]
