I am severely depressed. I was so stoked about buying tickets to Coachella today when they went on sale...until I realized the concert dates are April 16 to 18. The thing is I'll be in California traveling for work that week, and that trip ends exactly on April 16...in GILROY, which is a good seven-hour drive away from Indio, which is where the three-day festival will take place. There's no way I'll make it. Well, unless there's a miracle waiting to happen. We'll see.
Anyhow, I was checking out the lineup today, and it looks wicked awesome: Muse, Jay-Z, MuteMath, Thom Yorke, MGMT, Sia, The XX, LCD Soundsystem, Deadmau5, Kaskade, Hockey, Passion Pit, Hot Chip, Spoon, De La Soul and my personal favorite, Whitest Boy Alive. That one actually stings pretty bad. They've never performed in the United States, as far as I know, and I'm going to miss it! Ouch.
To check out the full lineup, go to the Coachella website.
So, just for you, I spent the day downloading various tracks from artists on the Coachella roster this year. Here's a little taste...
And if any of you out there are miracle workers, keep me in mind ;)
Jay-Z - Moment Of Clarity
Little Dragon - Twice
Delphic - This Momentary
Flying Lotus - Tea Leaf Dancers
Sia - Buttons
De La Soul - Stakes Is High
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move
Klever - Kryptobounce
Muse - Map Of The Problematique
Wale - Pretty Girls
Kaskade - Everything
She & Him - Change Is Hard
Whitest Boy Alive - Fireworks
MGMT - Electric Feel (live @ Coachella 2008)
Do yourself a favor, and just download them all and burn a CD. Rock it in your ride this weekend. You won't regret it.
