So my schedule for today consists of J Cliff & T 'Strong, Death Grips, Madness, Pulp, Mazzy Star, EitS, Refused & Amon Tobin. Who am I missing? After the Greg Ginn comment I trust wonk the most. Agreed with womp, The Rapture and WU LYF were both excellent. Wallpaper was great as well, although they are starting right now. I also love M83 live, and I wouldn't miss the end of Swedish House Mafia.

mrlahey made us leave before the end of SHM because he was drunk and mad at their lack of lasers. We promptly turned around and sprinted back when the entire night sky lit up with them. Holy fuck that was impressive.
Also, daytime drunk sucks when temps are well into the 90s and above. I don't envy ANYONE at Coachella this weekend.

There is going to be a death this weekend. Jesus christ. That is too damn hot. That is getting to Bonnaroo temperatures.

Jimmy Cliff was so great. It kind of sucked that his was during the worst of the storm, but he was still fantastic. If you are up for a sexy dance party, check out The Rapture. They were one of the biggest surprises for me over the weekend. WU LYF was also excellent. EDIT: This is assuming you aren't a Sahara guy, because you don't really seem like one. If you venture over there at some point, Breakbot and Madeon were two of my favorite sahara acts all weekend Breakbot was a fantastic way to warm up the Sahara for me. I probably only spent about 20% of my time in there. My two Sahara faves were Breakbot and Morgan Page.

At least Bonnaroo has misting tents, a big fountain and that bigass slide for people to stay cool if they get too hot. Also, I'm not sure I can recall a Bonnaroo where the temperatures officially hit triple digits. - granted, 94 degrees with a humidity of like 85% does make it feel like it's about 115 degrees, so there's that.

That said... I'm still so glad I opted to go to Week 1 of Coachella - despite missing the chance to see the Braves play the Dodgers in Los Angeles on the Monday after the festival ended.

Coachella's probably a dry heat right?

It was 110 degrees in Palm Springs at 11am. Those poor souls.
And I was in front of Madeon in the airport security line. Kid looks like he's 12.

I'd like to plead temporary insanity and take back almost everything negative I said about Coachella. I got some sleep and now I really wish I was back in that desert. I will go again and if I could do this year over I wouldn't change much besides finding more of you lovelies and I would be somewhere else during Guetta.

Fogerty showed up for the Black Keys this weekend to do a Levon Helm tribute. Pretty cool. Did anyone see the Black Keys last week? I'm assuming no one showed up?

Okay, now that it's officially over and I've had plenty of time to process everything I witnessed, I think I'll recount my Top 5 moments from the festival... (Sans Hologram... nothing against the Hologram, but we've all seen that by now and there was so many more amazin' moments to share)
Favorite Moment #5... Feist with a full orchestra performing The Bad in Each Other
The final 30 seconds of this song was beyond incredible.
(And to keep this going for a few more days, I'll only post one video a day)

It's a shame it won't look nearly as good at Sasquatch since she has a 5:30 - 6:30 slot, but I'm looking forward to her set regardless.

K, I loved breakbot too... but whoever was singing the occasional song during their set was fucking awful. Cringeworthy shit.

DJ BITCH FIGHT! Second weekend Avicii got his set pushed back because against Dre and Snoop he had a super tiny crowd. Which resulted in all the sahara set times being pushed back 20 minutes. Which made Nero pissed off because they were promised a night time set. Errybodys pissed off. www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/52726/Avicii_cops_the_blame_for_Coachella_set_times_dramasMy friend was taking a breather from Dre and went to check out Avicii and said it was the smallest crowd he saw in the sahara all weekend. Good times.
