So thoughts on Coachella are that it wasn't that great. I obviously did not go but if I am just going on who played versus other years, this was a weak year. I think this is largely due to the fact that the promoters were trying to get the festival in New Jersey off the ground. Coachella needs to step it up next year and I will for sure go. I am a little upset I didn't get to see Prince but otherwise oh well, I was more upset last year when I didn't get to see LCD and Arcade Fire. Until then I can not wait for the Pitchfork fest, I am not paying $200 plus for Lollapolloza no matter how decent the lineup is. That is all it is, decent. I will be see most of the second tier bands on a given night in LA. So there is a little rant for you all.
