So of Co = BOC, Ellen Allien/Apparat, Cassius.

Goldcoast gets my vote for Day 3 alone. M83 with LRD, Saint Etienne and Nightmares on Wax? GORGEOUS!!

East side, west side, where you at...

I think I like her because she's truly awful. It's a guilty-pleasure type thing. I'm sure she sucks live.

I'd suck anything to see Mr. Oizo, though!
...

Can't correct you--just offer my opinion:

Entroducing is still one of my favorite albums ever.

That said, watching Shadow spin live is absolutely NOT like experiencing that album (or any of his...

Mmmm, churros...

Sorry. Had to.

Thanks for the info, you two.

I definitely understand! I am the I-10's bitch on a daily basis.

Ever listen to Jonathan L.'s show on KUPD? Anyone? His program is the saving grace of [what's left of] radio for me...he was my...

Thanks so much.

Hollywood Bowl or bust.

What, you don't like drinking at 6 a.m.? Geez!

I'll be at Tortoise tonight and VNV Friday. Hope to see some of you there.

Balls.

Amon Tobin - Pirahna Breaks

No way, LJ is great!

My pick would be a reunion tour of Afghan Whigs. I can't even imagine how sweet that would be (or how much whiskey I'd guzzle).

And Throbbing Gristle...I would die happy! ...

Loved that one. Pretty soundtrack, too...

Next month...

6/1: Young Americans @ French Kiss (Phx) OR
6/1: Fixmer/McCarthy @ Das Bunker (LA) TBA
6/4: Client @ Amoeba (LA)
6/6: Clutch @ Marquee (Tempe)
6/8: Night for...

Uffie.

I vote for BoC, too, please.

Please, PLEASE go see VNV when they play near you. I've only seen partial sets of them before Coachella, but their performance on Sunday really blew me away. Great energy and Ronan is one of the...

THANK YOU!! Surprised nobody else mentioned this.

Three-day Coachella seemed to go by just as quickly as two-day Coachella. I am in favor of prolonging the Coachella 'weekend' any number of days. :)

He was perfectly cheeky and I think it was one of the best crowds at the entire festival. Thoroughly enjoyable! I'd LOVE to see him do some low-key Pulp songs next time 'round...

I thought Shadow was great. He was an excellent choice for that time slot. 'Midnight in a Perfect World' couldn't have been a better finale to such a great day!

I wasn't appalled by anything as I...

Looks like I'm driving to LA in September...unless there's any chance of another Phoenix show.

That is excellent!

I know its been mentioned in other threads, but Air vs. Manu Chao was pretty fierce. Air was still very enjoyable, but wasn't quite as atmospheric with the bleed from Manu. ...

VNV Nation
Richie Hawtin
Interpol
Digitalism
Tie: JAMC/Jarvis Cocker

I reserve the right to change my mind after I actually sleep more than 3 hours. :)

Wow, at least you have the energy to type all of that! Thanks for a great review. After reading it, seems like you and I were on opposite ends of the festival grounds the entire time...but that's...

I missed !!! but was pleasantly surprised by the 15 minutes of Klaxons I saw. Lots of fun!

I had a few, but I, too, was most pleasantly surprised with Jarvis Cocker's performance. I guess I expected him to be a little more somber. What a showman! I only wish we'd been able to enjoy a...

VNV Nation. Nearly lost my mind. Closed with "Beloved." INCREDIBLE!

Definitely. Saw 20 minutes of their set and it was one of the highlights of my weekend. Everyone having a good time and smiling--the way it should be. Met a few great people over there. I love...

Wish she would've been in the middle of one of the Rage pits.

*whew* I couldn't agree more.

Right. He must've been one of those shirtless bastards destroying all the arena fencing next to Lot 6 and screaming "Raaaaaaaaage" at midnight. That was pretty cool. Can't wait to pay more for...

I wonder how disoriented we'll feel [after its over] staying in one tent that long?

I do, however, reserve the right to run and see 10 minutes of Ghostface.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

What about damning the man?

If you're driving west on the I-10, you may want to stop at a gas station in AZ to fill up before you cross over the CA border (into Blythe). You will save at least 25 cents a gallon. I usually...

I'll bet Towa Tei smells good, too... :) *sigh*

Doesn't that say enough? No, they aren't the greatest dj's I've ever seen, but anyone that wears boxing gear and can get the crowd going is a-ok in my book. :) They really are a lot of fun (and...

Did you fill out a change-of-address form at the post office when you moved?
If so, the forwarding process can from 3-14 days. If not, the tickets will be returned to Ticketmaster and that can...

I liked that design better. Much easier to get a decent view of the stage.

Thanks for the great pics!

I know, I know... But there's a botanical rescue there and a pretty decent little Mexican restaurant. It's better than Blythe...

I always fly solo once I get to Coachella. My pals always want to see different artists than I do, so we meet up maybe once or twice throughout the day and find each other at the end of the evening. ...

8 days away...oh my God! I can't believe it's almost here!!!

Thursday: road trip to Indio! Loitering in Quartzsite and Palm Desert before meeting up with pals in Palm Springs -- all my Coachella...

Excellent! And I like Dansko and Born...but my favorite manufacturer right now is Earth. They have negative heels which are really nice on your back and arches. You can usually find them for a...

The dinos are a couple miles west of the windmills [off the I-10] in the Cabazon area. I've never actually stopped to see them, but maybe I will this month. ...

That would be so great! He's one of the 'ones that got away' for me--I have always wanted to see him live and have had something catastrophic happen at the last minute to prevent that.
...

No Clutch people around here?

They are so good live. :) I was happy to hear Jonathan L. play a cut off the new album the other day.

That would be AMAZING! We were just talking about their last show here and how much fun it was.

Quicksand, too, yeah! Good memories...

Really?! That would be heavenly...

Mmmm hmm! Backatcha. Really excited for LCD Soundsystem!

And VNV Nation... :o

Ooooh I wanted to see that but I was at Modified for Joy Electric. It was lovely!

I'll have to try for the 22nd and hope a few people show up. ;)

I agree that Ladytron's performance last year was lacking. I really like them, but was disappointed by how awful the Witching Hour material went over. They didn't seem into it at all. I thought...
