Kacey was great!

Blackpink's live performances can be patchy but they're kind of killing this set. A good show for K-pop's Coachella debut.

i mean not like it's a bunch of old nuggets from the early EPs or whatever, just all the singles from the new album :)

this band is so fucking good. love it if we made it is just fucking massive.

i swear they should just finish their albums, then send them to me to trim off 15 or 20 minutes every time, and then release *that*, and they'd be the best band in the world. as it is they're pretty darn close and they release bloated albums.
live, though ... killer.

The 1975 promoting Brief Inquiry into Janelle Monáe promoting Dirty Computer turning out to be a surprisingly cohesive twofer(Helps that I think something prior to The 1975 overran so there was very little time between the set streams)

Strong showing from the Childish Gambino set. We're clearly living in a post-Beychella world re: the camerawork these headliners get but Glover would have owned that stage either way.Also sweet to see Janelle giving him a pep-talk when they followed him backstage, after she'd shouted him out in her set beforehand.

that Childish Gambino set was pretty great, imo, though it was very clearly Beychella Lite. like he was aiming for the same sort of feel and scale, but he couldn't get anywhere near it, because ... welll ... she's Bey and he's not.
the song where everything turned red and he went out in the crowd and was singing in a different language (or gibberish) ... does anyone know what song that was (if it was a song)?

i interviewed the bassist for Weezer one time. he was exceedingly nice. i alwsays wonder what he thinks of this band, besides the fact that it's an excellent paycheck.
― alpine static, Sunday, 14 April 2019 04:00 (five years ago) link
like is he empowered in the least to have input on band decisions/operations? or does he literally show up when they say to show up and do what he's told to do? what about the other two guys that have been there since the beginning?

i'm sorry but yes this performance is pretty robotic and yes Rivers has to be the most desperately thirsty rock star ever but also this band can pull more perfect pop-rock songs out of their catalog than most.
― alpine static, Sunday, 14 April 2019 04:30 (five years ago) link
I agree with that. Really generic show but those songs are some serious ear candy

If anyone had any doubt about what a massive star BE is, this should put it to rest. The crowd is singing along loudly to every single line.

I had no doubt. And I like her stuff. She's great! But I'm afraid I don't quite get what it is about her that inspires such enthusiasm and devotion in such large numbers. (But that's OK, I am not exactly the target market, either.)

why not have Nikki come back out for The Light Is Coming?
― alpine static, Monday, 15 April 2019 06:56 (five years ago) link
Maybe she was supposed to, but said f that due to the sound issues? Apparently she couldn’t hear in either earpiece.I wondered at first why Childish Gambino didn’t come out for “Break Your Heart...” — they’ve been talking about that — but my guess is they’ll do it the 2nd weekend, when Diddy/Ma$e aren’t there.

A loud helicopter woke me up around 3:30am, and I was convinced it was one of those high-rollers flying back in from Coachella (maybe landing at Van Nuys)... sort of shook my fist, lol... now I don’t know why I was so convinced (but I’d still bank on that hypothesis).

It’s almost a fact by now that almost everyone at Coachella are there fueled by social media and the music is just background noise. If you’re in there solely for the music there’s 10 other festivals nearby where you can see the same artists for 1/4 of the cost.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 22:49 (five years ago) link
well, there obviously aren't, because of radius clauses. or on the other hand, it's a year since the festival and the new lineup of Soulwax haven't played the US outside of California.
