i guess it’s kind of difficult to keep living up to the standards from last year, or maybe i’m just over the bullshit. jack johnson as a fucking headliner? whoa, relax your fucking acoustics and break out your yearbooks, this shit is OLD. dan deacon, sure.. innovative, but that really just isn’t music you can ever listen to for more than thirty seconds. and he’s at coachella? stephen malkmus left the band pavement to prove that he can play guitar and make you feel like you’re riding in an elevator. is that what you really want at a festival? portishead however, will always be incredible, but let’s be real.. it’s the kind of music you listen to in the bath tub when you want to cry about being a woman, and the same boes for deathcab.
this year’s lineup is pretty bad. for me there’s maybe four or so bands that save it, with a few “eh” artists in there too. the best thing on this lineup is yo majesty, who will always be rockin’ the sports bras on stage and rapping about pussy. the cold war kids can sing to me about raging alcholism anytime they want, bonde do role can get brazillian and eat oranges out of each other’s pants anytime (for real, i’ve seen it), kavinsky is silly-awesome nintendo jams that i kinda wanna hear, and metric is probably one of the most beautiful blends of sweet songwriting i’ve heard in a while. emily haines is the shit.
