Music everywhere
all right, i went to coachella. It was (forgive my language) FUCKING awesome.
I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. This huge polo field with like 7 stages, but not regular stages... There were tents, as well. Between these stages there were lots of artistic installations. Like 200.000 people were walking in there under a 130oF sunheat. Yeah, that's mojave. Hot and "musical". I saw pretty much stuff that i had never heard before. Like the MSTRKRFT, wow, some DJ i might say. Another great surprise is Klaxons. These Brit youngsters blow the stage out with their dirty guitars and loud shouting, great songs (i 've already got the CD.) Css, the brazilian folks there were good too, specially when they played a L7 cover song. Red Hot Chili Peppers were outstanding. Frist because they are, in some way, part of my young adult life (I heard the chili peppers a LOT from 18 to 25) I know the blood sugar sex magik album by heart (Although they did not play my fav from this CD, power of equality) well, they were AMAZING. Tapes'n'Tapes were great discovery also. Air were delayed by 50mim so i had the chance to hear only one song. And the great attraction for my was !!!(chik chik chik) I knew them before coachella, but live the band grew 10 times. The main vocal was dancing like a insame man. The other players were frantically playing as though they were hypnotized by the place. AMAZING xperience.
As soon as i get the pictures in my computer, i will post them here.
Next year, COACHELLA again!!!!!!!

-- MSTRKFT is the solo project of the bassist from the now-defunct Death From Above 1979, possibly my favorite get the (excuse my language) FUCKING lead out of my veins record.
-- !!! was my favorite performance of Coachella back in 2004, along with Broken Social Scene. They rawk it hard on stage, especially with so many instruments.
