So, uh, Blink came out and played a set totally unexpectedly. That was pretty fantastic. Matt Skiba filled in just fine, but it was definitely a little weird without Tom. Still a blast. We'll go ahead and do a Tom song
Alright, missed a few days, and I think we've exhausted the Coachella theme... so let's get into Weenie Roast! Man, it was a fun fest. We'll start off with the first act I saw... Lukas Graham. Whatever your opinion of '7 Years' is (I dig it), this guy/band has talent. This one's a little homage to 'Hard Knock Life'...
Lukas Graham - Mama Said
ps - looks like anthony kiedis is ok after the hospital scare...glad to hear it.
I made no effort whatsoever to see 'ol Sufjan because I thought he would bring out the boring, but everything I read after the fact said otherwise. It was supposedly one of the best sets of the fest. So now I have my tix to see him at the Bowl in August. Boy better not disappoint. This song is so damn beautiful.
I actually had no interest in seeing the Pickups (tough timeslot and I saw them several months ago), but I just really dig this song. There's at least one song (if not more) every album that they just absolutely knock out of the park.
Another Sunday act I missed because I couldn't get there in time. The first time the Coachella bus system has ever failed me. This girl kicks some ass.
Probably the band I'm the most bummed to have missed. Just scheduled too early on Sunday. As you can tell by the spelling of "you", this is not, in fact, of Kelly Clarkson.
Hadn't really ever heard these guys until I started listening to Coachella playlists in the weeks leading up to the festival. So very much wish I'd gotten there early enough on Friday to check them out.
The Front Bottoms - Laugh Till I Cry
ps - oh yeah, i never made any comments about the draft. i guess that about sums up my thoughts.
