Oh, fuck. I just looked at my wall and somehow my posts yesterday were set to be viewable only by me. Haha, and I'd gotten a bit pissed that there was absolutely no reaction to any of my posts last...

They knocked the whole wall down. And Dylan, you missed out -- I had 2 free tickets and put one up on Facebook. Even mentioned you in the thread. :nono

I'm so glad I went last night. I thought...

Jen's gotta work & I'm travelling out to Georgia for my job. Neither event was planned when the show was announced so I'm glad I didn't buy tickets when I had the compulsion to. :-/

I've listened to it 3.5 times now (2.5 today) and am in love with "Give Life Back to Music," "The Game of Love," and "Instant Crush." "Giorgio by Moroder" is growing on me but I'm still not wild...

I enjoy the album. I liked "Something About Us" and "Digital Love" perhaps the most off Discovery, so this isn't a total surprise. "Touch" is by far the weakest song on the album and "Giorgio by...

I didn't get home in time to watch the Heat/Bulls game but the highlights sure made the Bulls out to look like fucking thugs. Are they trying to emulate the Bad Boy Pistons?

The only time I was near one of those pits was for Kurt Vile on the Outdoor Theatre. Aside from seeing stuporfly in there, the only notable person was Chloe Sevigny, who was wearing an ugly dress and...

This is fucking great.

That's cool, man. Thanks for the set list. How'd you manage to get VIP? Were you just chilling with Prince's crew or do you know somebody?

What time did you get there? Are you going tonight? I...

Vine seems like one stupid fucking app.

$65 for early tickets? Oof. No, thanks. (Although I would like to see Deep Dish again, even if it's just half of them. Have fond memories of tripping my ass off and dancing to them in the Sahara...

YESSSSS. That should totally be the weekend you & Cara come out to Phoenix. That venue's great. Phoenix in July is going to suck but we'll mollify ourselves with beer. Lots and lots of beer.

I'm especially fond of Common (I presume) being identified simply as "mmon" because the moron didn't think to proof the spacing prior to publishing the poster.

We saw a guy right in front of the sound board get pulled out by security, he was so fucked up on drugs. They ushered him into the sound board enclosure and he eventually collapsed. They called the...

It felt like an uneven performance to me. I've seen them 4 times -- this was the third time at Coachella and the 4th was in a fairly small venue, which was the best performance of theirs I've seen....

Not sure what time doors are but I wouldn't expect them to go on before 9:00, especially with YACHT as the opener. How far are you from the venue?

Dylan: I'm very tempted to go to weekend 2, at...

If this is true (and I'm assuming you're simply speculating unless some insight was revealed on a Modest Mouse message board), that's fucking moronic. Because everyone knows that a band's die-hard...

Their drummer & singer ain't too shabby, either.

Why the fuck did your friend HAVE to go to the locker at that time, and why were you dumb enough to agree to go with him? Even if he didn't take his sweet time, that's a stupid way to blow at least...

I only mentioned 2, not 3, and the 2 I didn't mention didn't interest me, hence why they didn't factor into any decision-making process vis-a-vis staying.

We didn't necessarily leave because of the dust. It was annoying but we could've stuck around to the end of the night if there was anything really that compelling for us to do so. I wasn't all that...

I did the same thing but I don't regret seeing OMD. They were fun and a lot of my friends were there, so it was a great way to end the fest.

Hindsight being 20/20, we would've opted for Sparks...

Ditto. Also anxiously awaiting SMD, New Order, and OMD.

Yup. Not anywhere near as bad as the 2 Chainz crowd but I was really surprised that so many people were there for them considering they still haven't released their 2nd album. We saw how bad it was...

Reminds me of the Animal Collective apologists in 2011.

Don't feed the troll. Ignore him like Zafocaine.

It was fine and I'm glad I got to see him for about 30 minutes, but it wasn't anything too remarkable. I was happy he drew such a huge crowd -- would be great if that was parlayed into a repeat...

Agreed. I said the same thing to the people I carpooled with as we were walking out one night. It serves a purpose during the day when they're spraying people down in the heat. At night, they can...

1. New Order
2. Blur
3. Simian Mobile Disco
4. OMD
5. Savages

Yeah, their sound seemed muted and they only seemed to exhibit a great amount of energy intermittently. I don't know if it could have been due in part to where we were -- right next to the A3 speaker...

Loved them in 2011 but going from Blur to How to Destroy Angels is going to be necessary. Just bought tickets to see them in Phoenix next Thursday instead. Love Coachella acts playing in my city NOT...

The only time I saw New Order was the final song ("Can't Get You Out of My Head" intro for "Blue Monday") at Coachella 2005. I've become a huge fan of theirs in the intervening years. I've been a fan...

The only year I had to make an excuse (as opposed to simply requesting the time off) was 2010. We had vacation blackout the entire month of April due to training on a new program we were rolling out...

This was my favorite set of the weekend, made all the more fun by your & your wife's presence. Can't wait for a repeat in a couple days! Happy birthday!

I so hope they don't conflict with New Order or Moby. Those are the only two acts who Sigur Ros will lose a conflict to. And of course they're playing where I live on the Friday of Coachella, so...

Where were you? We hung out on the rail in front of the sound board. Our days of being in the mosh pit are past us. I enjoyed the Black Lips more this time than when I saw them at Coachella last...

What show were you guys attending? And also, you look like a member of the Black Lips. Not like you belong in the band but literally like the second guitarist/vocalist (the one who apparently...

Fuck it, I'm just going straight to the venue from work. Gonna try to park at the Marquee.

It's blind loyalty. The Thunder are taking the #1 seed and they'll demolish the Lakers in 4 games.

Amy is right, I'll be at Phoenix. I'm going to be at work till at least 6 that night. Anyone want to grab a bite to eat beforehand? (Doors at 6:30, show at 8, but I'm guessing Phoenix doesn't go on...

Holy shit, I just got a message on Facebook from the Marquee Theatre that I won free tickets to the late show on May 1!!!

Holy shit, dude, how short are you? Not goofing, genuinely curious.

Go to Bestival! The Knife, Elton John, a bunch of other people, and more importantly, a fair number of us are going to be in attendance.

The performance may have been more refined but the element of surprise and the energy in that tent that came from it being their first show in nearly a decade (what was it, 7 years? close enough)...

I would if it weren't for the fact Jen has TWO shirts that say precisely that, one of which she has already worn to a show, and I get enough grief from her when I order the same thing she does when...

If I can get my hands on a camera, do you want to develop a pilot with me, with you as the host?

That's generally identified as being a sound a dog makes. He's expressing his displeasure with the quality of their music.

Pfft, no. I don't give a fuck.

That's cool that the two sets were different enough to make you feel it was worthwhile. I'm not at all surprised that the crowd was more obnoxious for the later show -- the longer you drink, the more...

Oh yeah, I think I need to buy my Foals ticket still. Thanks for the reminder.

Nice seeing you, Mark and Mark, at Jeff Mangum last night. Timestretch Mark, thanks for the seats on the bleachers....
