We’re just having fun, we don’t care who sees.

Where do I start?

It feels like almost a relief to be back on the East Coast, only because I’m willing to admit that I probably could not handle another day of Coachella. It’s a beast of a wild time. This year we were able to expand our camping group to 20+ different people and there’s no telling what next year will be like.

If you haven’t noticed, the festival scene has exploded as of late. I can’t turn my head around without hearing of a new event packed with a slew of artists waiting to wow you. Each one is entirely different from the next, varying in genres, tiers of artists, camping vs. non-camping; these things have seriously evolved. This is where the music industry is going.

During the phenomenal Radiohead set on Saturday night Thom Yorke said it best, music is about being together and the sense of community we have at these things. To me music is extremely personal, it performs as the soundtrack to my life, a constant ebb and flow. But being in the middle of a sea of tens of thousands of people all consumed by the lights, synths, and strong percussion; it really felt like something else.

As Coachella is one of the only places I will completely keep my phone off and separated for days at a time, I won’t be giving you the minute-by-minute timeline of what I was doing. I will give you some insight on who I saw after 3pm those days though, and trust me, that heat was brutal in the campgrounds before the sun went down. Continue reading

She will go down with her ship like a good captain.

I haven’t dug much of the Cold War Kids archives but their track, “Audience,” off the 2009 Behave Yourself EP is one I can spin constantly.

Hand claps, sunny guitar riffs, and light breakdowns pair oh so well with my mild March day. And good news for you all, I’ve just updated a cool 120 which means a new set of free songs are ready to download. Go on, get yourself over there.

Audience – Cold War Kids

Straight-forward indie-rockers, Yuck, spent a good portion of last year making themselves largely known and appearing on many “Best of 2011″ lists.

By way of London, you would have never guessed with their lo-fi guitars and mimicking American sound. It took me a bit to actually sit down and listen to the band, perhaps it was their off-putting name but now that they’ve finally found a way into my iTunes I’m even more excited to get to Indio in April. These brits bleed some heavy 90′s influences and that alone has already won me over.

Get Away - Yuck

The Wall – Yuck
