Too far, especially after a full day of whatever you'll be doing. Last year I cut out halfway through The Shins to make it to Indy for The Vaccines/Arctic Monkeys (what an incredible line-up,...

Tonight's Brooklyn show streaming on NPR

Yeah, saw last night. I'm hopeful - got two shots at it, OSL and HFC

Svo Hjlott and Vaka for me. Won't get either, but still would be very happy with this setlist.

I wonder if they break out Untitled #7 on the 12th, it being a cemetery and all... :)

Hi-Five! (see the same thread for weekend 1)



Exit Music is pretty much the only thing that I regret about not being there for by only going to W1.

Fantastic set. Really enjoyed it. A perfect thing for you weekend 2 goers, as you seek out some noon shade at Gobi to some chill good music.

I think for me, personally, SBTRKT was the most disappointing. I like them/him alright, but not to the point of cutting out of Bon Iver to catch their whole set at my friend's urging, which was a...

10 to 2 is the curfew, I was told by security people. Left Lot 5 at about 9:50 on Sunday.

Well, her (not their) debut album is universally acclaimed, including top and near-the-top placements on some reputable ATOY lists for 2011, so based on that the sky's the limit, I guess.

I thought EMA was pretty good. Certainly more engaging than when I first saw her open for Wild Beasts last year. Being familiar with material also helped, I guess.

We got stuck at the slowest-moving line, because the security dude was really taking his job seriously. That included finding weed in a car two in front of us and (per his own words to me) scaring...

FYI - No shade at Do Lab this year.

Weird Fishes Arpeggio

I am excited to be saving a couple of grand with no SF trip this August to see this shitty lineup.

Well, they are one of my very favorite bands, and while the set was really short (even with going 4 minutes over and pissing off the stage manager), for me it was, pound-for-pound. Looking forward...

It didn't fly, as it was anchored to deth, so it snapped instead.

That was the epitome of bad scheduling. Mojave overflowing for Gotye (although half of the crowd left after they heard the radio song), and NOBODY next door at Gobi.

Great set, except I'd take "I Spy" over that long-ass opening. I'm 100% certain that's the song they cut because they were running out of time.

Lot 5 shower situation was completely fucked up. Thankfully, I was fully prepared for shower bullshit, so I was quite content with bio-wipe body shower, and a pressurized misting system goodness to...

Went to Explosions, and not regretting it one bit. But then again, if I hadn't seen M83 in January, and won't again in 3 weeks in NYC, it may be a different story.

Clean out the nozzles with a needle.

After 20 years of living in San Diego, I've learned that nowhere do people bitch about the weather more than where it's just about as close to absolutely perfect year round as you can get. I guess...

Cooler days don't necessarily mean appreciably cooler nights. If it's cooler due to a cloud cover, the clouds trap the heat, and the nights may be just or nearly as warm.

Boourns, that looks too good to be true, as far as conflicts for my wish list are concerned

Wild Beasts, of course.

Pretty much

No glass, remember?


The very top of the canopy is 10'. The awnings when set parallel to the ground come at around 7'.

Yeah, an area rug is definitely gonna make into my campsite as well.

If you go through other camping threads, you'll see that a lot of people go just canopy/no tent, and are quite happy with it. ...

I'd say not advisable. The canopy is really heavy with all the extra metal parts, so you'd probably have to pay through the nose to check it in, and it may be a little too long to fit within the...

Did some more prepping today, with shade cloth and tarp arriving. Only did one side, but gives you an idea.

It's not a great album, but for me personally "Leaving New York" ended up being a real favorite.

See signature

Thanks! I kinda like it too :)

Two reflective tarps with shipping was about 30 bucks from Harbor Freight Tools.

I also got this shade cloth (...

Did a practice run over the weekend. Took measurements for shade cloth and reflective...

Not at all, I would say, particularly being that Hayden Thorpe's falsetto is the polar opposite of Tom Smith's baritone. Tom Fleming does sing in a baritone, but his is not as powerful as Tom...

But he closes with Don't Look Back in Anger, which he did sing in Oasis, and that is all that should matter to you anyhow.

I am so fucking in love with this band.

Weekend 1 - Godspeed, only because I haven't seen them before, and saw Bon Iver only a few months ago. Weekend 2 - probably Bon Iver, unless everyone raves about Mangum so much, I feel like I can't...

Must have a female in the band? And there I was fully convinced that Radiohead is hipster trash...

I don't think there are too many hotels in that area, but if you can find one, that would definitely be a good thing. I was actually staying with friends near Berkeley, and they gave me ride back...

People were definitely moshing at their show at the Palladium last year, but that was the only one of 5 of their shows I went to last year when this was the case.

I can sign my name to this post with only the following caveats:

- this won't be my first year at Coachella
- my "illegal cab" with other people wasn't a van, but a Town Car, as far as I recall...

And the Pisco Punches they were making at the Barbery hit the spot perfectly.

A bit of useful/useless trivia that kinda ties into this Bon Iver/Radiohead conversation. Other Lives who are playing Friday opened for Bon Iver last year, and they are opening for Radiohead on...

Just great, instead of a 5 minute Wild Beasts/Metronomy overlap, now I get to miss half of Metronomy's set. I so hope it's not the case.

As much as I'd love it, not happening, they're touring Europe starting 4/21.

There would be from me, but after seeing them 5 times last year, I'm just more excited for songs from some of the others that I've seen only once or haven't seen at all. Plus, I tried to keep my...
