Before I get started, I just want to shout out to Lern for fixing my Internet. It feels good to be blogging from my own house again. Anyways, let's get started with festivals as there were some big announcements this week. The biggest would be All Points West (Coachella East).

Too bad this YouTube doesn't capture last night's monologue, when Michael Buffer (random yes, but for the record he was out there for some other comedic reason) introduces Black Mountain as "weighing in at a combined 762 pounds."

Anyway, Amber's shaker and fricature is so perfectly '70s, and this stormy, stoney "High" is so Sabbathy awesome it hurts.
