What is this, Woodstock '99? I mean my roommate got pink eye from the muck at Gov Ball this year. Not a good look, guys. Anyways, Alexander Stein and I navigated the treacherous grounds on Saturday in search of Lana Del Rey's boyfriend to no avail. At one point, I considered the tragic possibility that maybe the brown stuff had actually swallowed him whole, squashing any hope I had of ever seeing "My Michelle" live. Not only was Alexander much better prepared than I was, he wore snow boots, he also brought the talent. [...]
In 1994, when there were no Vines or Instagrams or Twitter feeds or blog updates to at least slightly numb one's FOMO, I watched MTV's coverage of the Woodstock re-up as a means to dull my anger about being born in the '80s. I was too young to go, and the dry, dirt-and-mud-free confines of my parents' basement were where I sat and watched it. It was aspirational. The mud didn't seem necessarily like fun, but with so many bands playing so close together, I could imagine braving the elements. Of course, at the time, I had no idea that [...]

Before we get into Saturday, let's not bury the day's big lede: R. Kelly joined Phoenix on stage to perform his biggest crossover that isn't from the Space Jam soundtrack, "Ignition (Remix)." Not quite the Daft Punk cameo folks rumored, definitely worthy of its own post. Which is here . Earlier in Day 1, in the space I will affectionately call EDM Town - where the electronic music tent is located - it was hard not to feel like we had been transported to another festival. Everything was a little more neon, everyone [...]
We know it is so hard to pick and choose who you are going to see when there are so many great artists playing at Coachella--alas as they are often playing at the same time! Our recommendation for Saturday is to chill out by the pool during the day to beat the desert heat, but be sure make it to the festival by 4 prepared for some serious dancing and fist pumping the rest of the night! Kill The Noise , Sahara Tent 4:20 - 5:20 PM ♫ "Dying (Ft. Ultraviolet Sound & [...]

I tend to romanticize the fall season. Sweater enthusiast aside, I find great solace in the season's shifting energies, the blotches of oranges and reds and yellows on neighboring streets, the way everyone's so adamant in "getting together," and how there's this overall appreciation for the macabre and supernatural. I usually attend at least one 24-hour horror movie marathon, I go through at least two bags of candy corn, and everything I eat or drink has something to do with a pumpkin. I've tried to explain why I feel this way, or give credence as to what the hell this obsession [...]
