RE: [Orb] (Non-Orb) Coacheela!!! Who was there???

Man it was hot! During the day most of my energy was sapped by the blazing sun, but once the evening came I was ready to rock. My highlights of the festival were !!! and Broken Social Scene, both proved that it's not about how popular or cool your band is, but the energy and honesty that is brought to the performance. Turns out me and my buddies knew one of the members of LCD Soundsystem (who were very good as well, kind of dance punk thang in the vein of the Rapture) so she got us back stage to the comfy chairs and free stuff, which was much appreciated. On the main stage Radiohead gave the stellar performance we've come to expect from this outstanding band, the Pixies were great too, but having seen them in a 1000 person venue days before, watching them from half a mile away just couldn't even come close to comparing. In the DJ tent DJ Icon spun some nice breaks (where I also met up with Gavin), Adam Freeland kicked some major ass dropping the Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right to Party" (complete with "Impeach Bush" scrolling across the screens) to wild cheers. Kraftwerk was good too, but I was a little disappointed that they were using laptops instead of vintage synths, I think analog sounds would have but the music part of their performance over the top. I also caught solid sets (or at least parts of) by Beck, Air,Prefuse 73, Mogwai, Danger Mouse and Kinky. The only truly weak set I saw all weekend was The Cure. Overall the sound was "thin", the drumming boring and the keyboards almost non-existant, not the lush sonics that I remember from the old albums. But at that point we had seen way too much killer music to even begin to complain. Overall Coachella provides a musical experience like none other (at least in States) and should be experienced at least once by all music lovers, hope to see y'all there next year!

I mean Eno could pull it off, but that was 30 years ago or more.

i have been re-listening to some MP3's i downloaded to ye olde work computer, and ... 1. What is "the 7" mix"? there are some scans of an old cassette in the folder i downloaded, but at times it almost sounds like "From a Distance" is going to start up.... 2. Alan Evil's A Capella version of "Little FLuffy Clouds" will give me nightmares. curse you Alan Evil! 3. Gel-sol posted a live show he recorded on 4-9-04, and it's pretty good. like the new stuff. when are you gonna drag your ass down here to ATL? it's only 9 hours away..... 4. who is responsible for "The Passage of Time (BBC Live)", which is apparently a Peel Session and which will also give me nightmares, in that it features an audio transformation of Gandhi into Hitler. whoever is responsible for that little thing should either be flogged or awarded a some sort of prize -- i cannot tell if it is good or evil. 5. man, the list has been quiet of late. what's up with that? PJK please don't hate me because i can't type..... --- All the cool kids are doing it: HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org

Thanks for posting this. I havent heard the whole thing, but it doesn't sound bad. Am I looking in the wrong place, or have they just not bothered to update the tracklisting? If not that's pretty damn lazy.

(Non-Orb) Coacheela!!! Who was there???
by Gavin Miller 04 May '04

Hey all, I made it through 100+F temperatures and saw some great live performances. I also met Jason Hicks at the very first performance I went to. He was a brave soul- drove in from Portland he told me. Anyways, It was amazing! Broken Social Scene was the festival highlight for me, followed very closely by the Pixies, !!!, and the Cure. Unfortunately missed Mogwai and Radiohead because of scheduling conflicts... Anyways I'm in LA for the week and will probably go see Muse, Snow Patrol, and maybe The Fall while I'm here.
