Coachella!

April 28, 2007 – 12:12 pm

No, I’m not blogging yet. But I guess I am, though only to show you a few of the sights and sounds of Coachella 2007.
Here’s a link to the Flickr set.
Here’s a link to my movie page, with some nifty little clips of Faithless, Benny Benassi and the “Do Lab.”
More to come.

Coachella Rumor?

January 22, 2007 – 9:31 am

Stereogum reports that yesterday, Golden Voice, the promoters behind the Coachella Music Festival, made a certain number of three day passes available for $200. The discount code, apparently, was ‘Roxanne.’ I know there are no lineup confirmations (though people seem to think David Bowie is dropping in) but with the recent news of the 30-year [...]

Weekend of Music

April 29, 2006 – 7:26 am

There was this quiet desert town once. It had a Main Street. It was on a major trade route to the west. It was warm and it was peaceful. And above all, it was quiet.
This is how it’s gonna look today and tomorrow:

I’ll see you on Monday.

Coachella Schedule

April 28, 2006 – 7:35 am

Coachella 2006

April 18, 2006 – 11:36 am
