Coachella 2011 - Sold Out

It only took a few days! I guess they were serious about selling fewer tickets this year.

Will they release more tickets as the festival approaches? I don't know if I care, as long as there is a DFA 1979 show in LA.

DFA 1979 at Coachella 2011??!?!?!??!

HOLD THE PHONE. I need to do some further investiagtion. The DFA1979 website hasn't been updated since 2006. SG doesn't have any information on his website. JFK seems silent on the issue as well (though, nice picture of Cactus Taqueria on Vine!).

From the vaults: my review of a Sebastien Grianger solo show.

Coachella 2011 already?!?

People are talking about it. PJ Harvey will allegedly be there, which is not as exciting to me as the fake poster with Talking Heads headlining on Sunday.



After last year's crowded fiasco, I am not so jazzed. I would go if I got a free ticket, or could buy a one-day pass, or if Goldenvoice assures me they will prevent the extra 15,000 people from attending each day. Thank you for listening.

Brief, Belated Coachella Musical Commentary

Miike Snow's fans were among the more irritating, but it was still a fun set.



Hot Chip was a good dance party even though they were on one of the big stages


Devo was hysterical


Major Lazer reminded me of the Sahara tent when I first went to Coachella in 2007. It was fun and rambunctious without being an entirely Bloody Beetroots-fueled rave. I saw a group passing around a bullet with no attempt at discretion. Party on.

Analogy

This guy : his sandals :: Mike and I : Coachella wristband



Eventually we all prevailed!

Not my imagination

Coachella really was way more crowded than usual.

I mean they had to make room for these people:

84 people have been transported from Coachella to the hospital this year. That includes drug overdoses, a broken neck, a private security officer who fell off his horse and a naked man under the influence of "unknown substances" who smashed out the windows of parked cars with his head before he was tasered by police.

Dude, I feel you

Leather shorts at Coachella

Are you kidding me, whowhatwear? Refinery29 is more reasonable, though no one wants to see me in another vest. I also like what they have to say about cute clothes for biking.

Also I am ready for some new sunglasses.

Suggestion to people selling Coachella tickets

Sell them for less than face value! If I wanted to pay face I could just buy from Ticketmaster. I know you don't want to lose money in this transaction, but that is not MP (my problem).

Coachella selling 3 day passes only?!!??!

How did I only discover this now?

Coachella 2010 Lineup

Friday is the only day that is really compelling for me, and Them Crooked Vultures are on at the same time as LCD Soundsystem!
