No falta nada. Mañana miércoles, a eso de las 8AM, se abren las puertas de la Worthy Farm, lugar donde desde hace 40 años tiene lugar uno de los festivales musicales más importantes de europa: Glastonbury Festival . Este año se conmemoran 40 años de música, colores, lluvia y barro, en show que partió como una junta hippie y que derivó con los años en uno de los espectáculos musicales más destacables del orbe. Este año, rotarán por más de 40 escenarios, medio millar de bandas que animarán una fiesta que [...]
As much as I enjoy geeking out by building best-of album lists, song lists are infinity more interesting. A song is a high-wire act: one slip, one faulty step and you've got a mess on your hands. Albums, almost by their very nature are more forgiving: great albums still have awful, awful songs. So a list of the best songs of a period tend to be more inclusive of different types of talent. Quite a few of these bands here don't have enough of it to sustain an album (yet?), but they have enough to absolutely crush one. So, culled [...]
Special Thanks to Tony Feria and David Aronson of Zombie Vinyls in Miami for the Artwork Here it is...Ear Blessings' list of the top 25 songs of 2010. It has been a great year in music thus far and we had a lot of difficult choices to make, but we have put together a great collection of jams that are all "Can't Miss." The rundown of artists include popular names such as The National, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, Gorillaz, and Broken Bells, but there are also some bands that [...]
To put this into perspective, my first two records were purchased in 2003. They were the Gorillaz' debut and Stereophonic's third album. I only started to listen to electronic music over two years ago, with Soulwax's incredible documentary Part of the Weekend Never Dies . Rap and hip-hop, for me, has only been around for about a year. So to say my musical journey is still at its start, is an overstatement. The list will be indie rock dominated and slanted towards the end of this decade, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I was originally [...]
Voy a romper dos reglas de oro. Uno, voy a hacer una selección de las mejores canciones de un año que no llega ni a su mitad. Dos, las voy a ordenar en estricto orden de prelación. De todas formas es extraño lo de este año. Suelo complicarme mucho la vida y en general las bandas nuevas no me provocan mucho interés. Claro, a quién engaño, siempre termino escuchando los mismos discos y las mismas bandas , una y otra vez. Este año me he descubierto apretando repeat cuando termino de escuchar algunos [...]
Coachella 2010. Wow. What a great year. Like my flatmate was telling me today, at Coachella and other great festivals alike, you just start imagining strings connecting all of us. Strings of bodies from all over this world bound and connected by music for this magnificent weekend each year. Coachella is a world unto itself. This weekend is filled with good music, vibrant energy, worldly generosity and with the help of drugs or not, there is this feeling of inexplicable happiness, indescribable joy and overwhelming emotion when you're with all these [...]
The only thing I love more than actually going to Coachella is reading the everlasting banter on various blogs that precedes the festival itself. I will say that the Coachella crowd (on the web) is one of the most condescending, self-righteous and very hateful groups of people I have ever seen making fun of each other anonymously. That is to say anybody going to Coachella understands that this festival is the cream of the crop, offering the finest in mainstream and underground music, so [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Despite award-winning sets by Atoms for Peace (feat. Thom Yorke ), LCD Soundsystem , Hot Chip and Muse -- and solid efforts from dozens more -- Gorillaz closed out Coachella 2010 by being the one band that, quite simply, no one could top. In all fairness, in order to reach such great heights, they did have a little help from their friends. Former Clash members Mick Jones and [...]

Last night was pretty rad...and more on that later. But for now, there are bits to be beasted and there's no stopping us now. Double numbers today...so everyone gets a high 5 and a "how do you do!" And this awesome news... LCD Soundsystem [...]
Ed. Note - We had to change the title of this feature from The Indie Music Filter in order to avoid confusion with another web site. Actually, this title works with our graphic and conveys our irreverent view of the indie music scene just fine. Cool beans! Albums That Make Us Wish The Format Wasn't Dead [...]
The video shown above is Animal Collective playing a live version of "My Girls" at Coachella in 2009. ------------------------------ -------------------- This year's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival might have a mogul - rap patriarch Jay-Z - on the marquee, but the lineup is still a model for recessionary times. Nothing on the roster announced this morning feels like a coup or a matter of huge debate. There's no baby boomer icon to fluster Generation X purists, and no surprise post-punk reunion (Pavement announced its reformation last fall) to fulfill the dreams of the same crowd. [...]
Tickets go on sale today at 10 AM for Coachella, one of the largest music fests to take place in the nation.

(Radiohead, possibly?), Vampire Weekend, Them Crooked Vultures, LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, Tiësto, Faith No More, Deadmau5, David Guetta, MGMT and Public Image Limited. The festival takes place April 16 to April 18 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, the same grounds where the festival started in 1999. [...]
The lineup for Coachella 2010 has been announced and it is nothing short of stunning! Muse, Phoenix, She & Him, MGMT, Florence and the Machines, Gorillaz, Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit, Echo and the Bunnymen, Major Lazer, Gossip, Spoon, Julian Casablancas, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Talvin Singh and, most importantly, Jay-Z! JAY-Z! If you haven't heard [...]
Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival (April 16-18, 2010) Yes, I know the Coachella lineup is "old news" already, but I gotta post it anyway. The "top of the bill" headliners at this year's festival include Jay-Z, Muse and Gorillaz , who are all fairly uninteresting to me, but should help put some asses in the seats I suppose. In terms of supporting acts, Coachella's depth and breadth is pretty much unmatched once again. Really outside of SXSW, you don't see this many quality [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK The news that Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is set to make an appearance at this year's Coachella festival has started rumours his all-star band featuring Red Hot Chili Pepper 's Flea will be backing him. The Californian festival, which is scheduled to take place Apr. 16 - 18, will be headlined by Jay-Z , Muse and Gorillaz and will feature performances from LCD Sounsystem , [...]
The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival announced the 2010 line-up this year and it isn't too bad. Granted, anything short of a Smiths reunion is underwhelming to the apathetic masses, but overall, this youth-and-indie focused oasis in Indio looks as strong as in recent years. After a few years of "established" headliners, the show will feature headline performances from younger acts including Gorillaz, Muse, Jay-Z, Thom Yorke, MGMT, Hot Chip, Spoon, Vampire Weekend and LCD Soundsystem at the very top of the bill for the three-day concert that begins April 16 at the [...]
Coachella lineup was announced today. Looks pretty damn good if you ask me. Now to figure out if I can go. enjoY! Pavement - Frontwards
