Suggestions For This Year's Coachella Theme Song

[Wheres the beef?]

It started in 2007. Right about the time when I'm getting off the 10 to Jefferson and it starts to sink in that Coachella is not far away. And especially coming in at night when you get to Avenue 52 and the spotlights are calling you in. I like to have a soundtrack to that. It's usually Coachella related.

What say you? What's a good soundtrack for 2009? Can be a song or an album.

ima be bumpin to Nothing to Worry About by PB&J

[iloveorangejuice]

Human - The Killers

[im so indie]

This is actually harder than I thought it would be, but I came up with:

The Black Keys - 10 AM Automatic
The Beatles - Get Back
Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood
M. Ward - To Go Home

I'm the same way with this, kb. I remember listening to Californication in '07 (cliche or not, it was spot on), and last year it was Oracular Spectacular. I'll probably have Swoon on this year.

Other good ideas for this year:
The Cure - Underneath the Stars
YYYs - Hysteric
Band of Horses - Detlef Schrempf

I think that Illumination by Thievery Corp is the theme song for this year.

Last year was "In Ghost Colors" on the way in. I'm also thinking "Swoon". Has to be good hot-afternoon drive music, right?

For some reason "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack" by Liars is the one giving me the Coachella jitters this year. I guess it might be more appropriately a song you'd be listening to when you are saying goodbye to Coachella, but hem.

How about a nonchalant come hither Mr. Sexecutioner. At any rate I do "travel across the desert to me you with a smile".

[comedeysal]

[sfx monger]

Chemical Brothers - Midnight Madness

There's something about this song that makes me feel like I'm breathing fresh air. Its the first song that plays on their myspace, and when you look at their tour dates you only see one, it says: Coachella Festival - Apr 18

When I listen I envision a montage of crazy fun shit, everybody smiling and dancing, pure bliss

I think there are two theme songs every year:
1 for the Sahara peeps, and another for everyone else.

[Jremy]

For the Sahara peeps: "Comin' Back" by Crystal Method


And for everyone else: "Strawberry Fields" by The Beatles

[Amneeziac]

The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends
