this is going to hurt - this is going to feel good 

Coachella, Damn.... overwhelming/awesome/HOT.

Saturday was more of an ordeal - driving, sunblock in the eyes, not so many bands i wanted to see. Death cab were awesome but played exclusively stuff from Transatlanticism and The Photo Album except for Photobooth. It was cool to see the Transatlanticism stuff live but i would have liked some older stuff too - i liked the janitor outfits and Chris Walla being excited about Kraftwerk - The Rapture totally kicked ass too. Dancey and fun! Definitely great to see live. I was impressed by Electric Six too - they were totally rock and roll.

Sunday blew my mind. One awesome show after another. Broken Social Scene were totally chill - one of them proposed to his girlfriend on stage which was very cute - even though i'm not generally into that sort of thing - as long as no one proposes to me onstage i can deal.

Oh my god - Atmosphere was *hot* - I can totally see why so many girls want to get in his pants. So fucked up, horny, angry, amusing. It was so hot out that the records kept skipping and they threw them into the crowd. The mental picture of Slug walking around the festival thinking about going back to his hotel and masturbating fiercely was priceless. Also how badass is it that he liked Broken Social Scene and rapped about Elliot Smith!

Sage Francis was awesome as well - i loved the druid costume but it was too bad he didn't have a dj - that would have really been nice.

Belle and Sebastian - super chill and nice, polite, quiet - i half-napped.

Prefuse 73 - bad ass and people were totally grooving to it - including a cute couple who were getting their freak on - there were old people there too which blew my mind (hopefully i will be as hip when i'm 50)

Bassment Jaxx - I had the absolute most fun at Bassment Jaxx - i expected it to be cool but I was so into it - totally blown away and dancing like a freak the whole set. Gorrillaz! Big black women soul singers, bondage, mind blowing video show.

I felt very in the know that I could totally identify most of the between set music. Not that it was super obscure but they mixed it up a fair amount. Lots of Def Jux. I do love the indie hip hop - go backpack rappers!

All and all a totally overwhelming experience. now i am going to go home, study and sleep like i was in high school again.
