Song of the Day #719 - and i fell for motion picture lies

To be perfectly honest, their live show didn't really work.  But I still got some love for this one...

Strangers You Know - Smoke and Mirrors

ps - i want a milkshake

Song of the Day #718 - we are made of our longest days, we are falling but not alone

Lauren Mayberry is so damn adorable.

CHVRCHES - Make Them Gold

ps - already their fourth song to make the cut on here.

Song of the Day #717 - you got me talkin' in my sleep

She's got such swagger.  Saw about half her set...wish I'd seen more.

Zella Day - Hypnotic

ps - i just bought a turntable...i'm such a poser.

Song of the Day #716 - oh, this might hurt a little, this might hurt a lot

Kings of Leon comparisons aside, these guys write some nice tunes.  Just pleasant all around.

Moon Taxi - Morocco

ps - i definitely feel better today than i did today last week...

Song of the Day #715 - how you like my stylin', bruh? ain't nobody stylin', bruh

On to Saturday... to me, the weakest day of the fest....but still lots of goodness.  We'll start with the most amped up set of the day...what a blast.

Run The Jewels -  Close Your Eyes (and Count to Fuck) (feat. Zack de la Rocha)

ps - saw that de la rocha actually came out in weekend 2.  slightly jealous.

Song of the Day #714 - and then you take it all away

Oh, of course I saw Ellie.  Don't be silly.  I originally wanted to go with something newer, but she just crushed it with 'Figure 8' at the fest...

Ellie Goulding - Figure 8

ps - current female pop heavyweight rankings: 1) CRJ 2) Ellie 3) KP 4) TayTay 5) everyone else

Song of the Day #713 - put your hands up and do your dipsy and dropsy

Have to admit I haven't listened to The Kills all that much over the years, but I've heard numerous times about their killer live shows and the bad-assery of Alison Mosshart.  I was not let down one bit...despite strong winds and sand/dust blowing everywhere, they rocked so damn hard.  Bravo.

The Kills - Doing It To Death

ps - i'm sure weekend 2 is so much worse than weekend 1. losers.

Song of the Day #712 - ​nevermind the odds, i'm gonna try my luck with her

Got ditched by everyone for this one, but man, they were a good time.  Love this tale.

Lord Huron - Fool For Love

ps - finally feeling like a real person again...can i go back tonight for weekend 2? please?

Song of the Day #711 - swear to the moon, the stars, the sons, and the daughters

Sadly didn't get to their full set, and I'm not sure the sound in the Mojave tent was doing them full justice, but I'm still obsessed with their album.  Was extremely tough to pick which song to go with...  I think I'm gonna have to go with the album closer.

BØRNS - Past Lives

ps - seriously, i just spent 30 minutes trying to decide...

Song of the Day #710 - turn your doubtful eyes back onto you

So we'll keep the Coachella Friday vibe going...  Had to do some fighting to get to the fest early enough for RDL, but so glad I did.  Great live presence.  Need to catch this guy at a smaller show.

Robert DeLong - Jealousy

ps - still not sure i've physically recovered

Song of the Day #709 - i was searching at the speed of sound

Just so smooth...  and not in a Rob Thomas/Santana kinda way.  Must've listened to it at least 8 times on my drive into Indio, but he sadly didn't play this one (nor my other favorite off the new album),.  Hopefully next time!

M83 - Road Blaster

ps - pretty sure another new M83 track will get on here before i'm done reminiscing about coach

Song of the Day #708 - and it keeps coming, till the day it stops

The undisputed champs of Coachella... Cannot stop thinking about it.  SO. DAMN. GOOD.

LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great

ps - get ready for tons of coachella tunes... such a great weekend.

Song of the Day #707 - it's in my heart, it's in my head for you

Would've bet money that these kids were British, but I would've lost...they're, in fact, Aussie.  Cool story, bro.

DMA's - Laced

ps - happy half day good friday!

Song of the Day #706 - running wild, trying to set myself free

Loved this dude's first song, Headlights.  That one was more piano ballady.  This one's more upbeat and dancey...and a winner, too.

Tor Miller - Carter and Cash

ps - i'm tired.

Song of the Day #705 - mama, take me back again

Pretty surprised this hasn't broken out.

firekid - Magic Mountain

ps - coachella tickets have arrived!

Song of the Day #704 - it is my repetition disposition

This one definitely stood out at their show last week.  Just get up and dance right now.

St. Lucia - Physical

ps - seriously. st. lucia is hella fun live.

Song of the Day #703 - if you're gonna do it, then do it right

Just begging for radio airplay and that chorus is right out of the Foo Fighters songwriting manual...

The Wild Feathers - Overnight

ps - basketball basketball...maybe i can actually watch half the games today.

Song of the Day #702 - you signed up, you gotta participate

They have another song!

Big Data - Business of Emotion (feat. White Sea)

ps - texas fight!

Song of the Day #701 - i'm a whole lotta, show stoppa

Such attitude.  Sing it, ladies.

Muddy Magnolias - American Woman

ps - not getting to watch most of the tournament games is devastating.

Song of the Day #700 - i'm not crazy cause i take the right pills every day

Always like to do a throwback hit (or in the case of Ellie, pop gold) for the centennial songs...  Jimmy will do.

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

ps - was really really hard to pick which song i wanted.
