Digital diarrhea???

cleverest use of alliteration I have witnessed in sometime.

The Thread

Coachella IDIOTS/DOUCHE BAGS

The biggest problem I had/have with Coachella was/is the number of IDOTS / DOUCHE BAGS that were/are in attendance. They definitely were not in the majority but their presents was very apparent and seems to be growing over the years at an alarming rate.

IDIOTS:

This year there were drinking fountains at Coachella that you could use to fill your water bottle which was awesome! The problem was that the lines were super long and the people in the line I was in were idiots. I waited in line for about 40 minutes watching these people trying to fill their water bottles. They were struggling with applying the right amount of water pressure to get the water in their bottle (Fg.1). It was not just one idiot.. Everyone was having this problem.

After 30 or so minutes of watching this, I just couldn't take it!! I had to walk in front of the line and explained to the people to move the bottle to where the water is "falling" rather than trying to have it go into where they were holding their bottle (Fg.2). The crowd responded with simultaneous "ooooh"s.

idiots.

DOUCHE BAGS:

These are the people who purchased Coachella tickets only to see The Killers, Travis Barker & DJ AM, and Steve Aoki and think they are super cool for doing so. Douche Bags are the ones that push through the crowd, stand directly in front of you, get all up on your grill and think nothing of it. These people are also the ones that break into your car and steal your friends iPod and jacket. They are the cancer that will eventually kill Coachella and the whole "indie scene" for everyone.

Douche Bags.

I do have friends that some might consider Douche Bags and some of them are really nice people (people I could/do have a pleasant conversation with on a regular basis) but are just unaware of how they come across as Idiots (pulling it all together ;)). I understand that they might try to get into performers like DJ AM and Steve Aoki in attempt to be less Douchey. I guess I'm just sorta bitter that we share some somewhat common interests (not a real AM or Aoki fan but they are involved with artist/music/stuff I am interested in) when a small part of the reason I am into what I'm into is to distance myself from Douches and idiots.

Paul Mother Fuckin' McCartney

Coachella last night was def the best live concert experience I have had to date.

Wrap your mind around this ---> I saw Black Keys, Franz Ferdinand, Morrissey, and Sir Paul McCartney back to back in that order, about 30 ft from the stage for less than $200 (hard to imagine anything could top this)!!

I could have easily thrown a rock at Paul McCartney if I wanted to (I actually really suck at throwing things so realistically I would have probably missed but anyone with average throwing skills would have hit him). He performed a TON of Beatles' songs and it BLEW MY MIND. The man is incredibly charming and pretty much all that you would expect from a Beatle.

I would go on but I am still in the "honeymoon stage" and would probably ramble on about things no one really cares about.

That's all for now :)

Paul's set list

Coachella

So I'm off to Indio for Coachella! Above is my tentative schedule (well the second part of it) via the Coachella application on my phone. I'm not quite sure how all of the features on the app work yet but I think it will all make sense when I'm there.

I would say check back for all of the awesome pics I take but I lost my camera last year and I don't want to risk having that happen again + its a real pain in the ass having to be accountable for my possessions in such an environment (not even gonna wear my glasses... going with contacts). Any pics I take (if any) will be on my phone and I'll prob just upload them on my facebook so you will have to check them out there.

Cant wait to see Paul McCartney!! I hear he mostly performs Beatles songs! (He and Franz Ferdinand (but mostley Paul) are pretty much the reason I'm going on Friday even though I think Saturday's lineup is the best)

Junior Boys

I love this band. I think you will(do) too.
They are def one of the bands that I am more excited to see at Coachella.

The new album is titled Begone Dull Care (its their 3rd LP) and it has leaked more than 2 months before its release date!! (someone fucked up)

The album is due to release in the US on April 7th via Domino Records but you can listen to 7 of the 8 tracks on hype machine

Here is an mp3 of one of my favorites off Begone Dull Care. Enjoy!
