Hella COACHELLA '09

Well, the title says it all...Coachella '09 was awesome!
The Mother Ship came, it saw, it conquered, and it packed it's bags and went back to L.A.

A lil run down of who we saw.

Friday started w/ We Are Scientists, The Airborne Toxic Event, Los Campesinos, The Hold Steady, The Ting Tings, Crystal Castles, The BUG Featuring Warrior Queen (surprisingly really really good!), Ghostland Observatory (off the hook!), Beirut, Morrissey, and Paul McCartney.
Saturday started w/ Blitzen Trapper, Amanda Palmer, Henry Rollins, Zane Lowe, The Bloody Beetroot DJ Set (AWESOME!!!), TV On The Radio, DJ AM & Travis Barker (again, surprisingly really really good!), M.I.A., Jenny Lewis, The Killers, and Atmosphere to close out the night. Slug is a lyrical genius. Absolutely love him and have been waiting a long time to see him get down. Wasn't too impressed w/ the set list, but I'm not gonna complain too much.

I have to say I was really into most of the DJ sets in the Sahara tent. That tent was totally rockin!!! It was dance party central and it was so GOOD!!! I ate so much shit while we were camping and hanging out there all weekend, so it felt good to dance and burn a few calories of the nasty goodness I was ingesting :) I will say, I love a Spicy Pie!!! There was some damn good and fresh pizza comin' outta the ovens at Coachella this year. I didn't even feel guilty eating it that's how good and fresh it was.

A bit bummed I couldn't stay for Sunday's line up...Mexican Institute of Sound, Friendly Fires, Okkervil River, Lykke Li, The Gaslight Anthem, Peter Bjorn & John, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Perry Farrell, and of course The Cure just to name a few.

Man oh man there were so many other great acts that I didn't even get to see. Too many schedule conflicts!!!
Next year I say, next year. There will be all 3 days of concert going, and there will be a grand old Mother Ship, and an extra day off from work. I'm so exhausted, but it was all so worth it!!!
