Coachella 2022

meanwhile Megan Thee Stallion

catching up on Danny Elfman’s set now and what a riot <3

Oingo Bongo songs and the Nightmare Before Christmas and the goddamn Simpsons theme out in the desert

The main event

I'm a complete noob on all things billie - what a weird juxtaposition: inside/intimate/headphone sound mix but on a main stage

It's beautiful isn't it

it is

oh lol Damon Albarn

Sorry “Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn” lmao. I forget how young Billie is sometimes

That was fun

"I'm sorry I'm not Beyonce, goodnight"

switching to the end of channel 3 for a bit for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu playing to the most random crowd lol

but yeah, the global #1 twitter trend right now is: 2NE1

Where they belong. <3

I have misgivings over 88Rising as a collective, but they are undoubtedly a great platform for upcoming Asian artists and their lineup today was decent.

Genius move finishing off with Utada Hikaru -> Jackson Wang -> CL -> 2NE1 surprise (though personally I would’ve switched Wang and Utada on the billing)

I did not recognize Danny elfman at all. Wow.

I turned it on and got Alec Benjamin, who is pretty weak sauce

Orville Peck was how I expected

Vince Staples

Tuned in to a couple guys named Duck Sauce and holy shit this is horrible. Can’t tell if they’re a troll act or serious.

lol

Duck Sauce are still a thing? Is LMFAO also on the lineup?

Vince Staples is also garbage. How the hell are these people popular? Suppose I’ve passed the age threshold to enjoy this kind of thing.

lol i felt that way after catching a few minutes of Louis the Child, who came on after Phoebe Bridgers on Friday. Terrible beats, absolutely no sense of buildup, no idea how they're billed so high.

Doja Cat

I want to see Belly but wonder if I'm even going to make it through Swedish House Mafia

So tired

what the hell is the point of a chat with thousands of participants

its just more like an IG verzuz chat or something.

xp: so you can spam "who the fuck is this washed-up Carly Rae Jepsen? We want Grupo Firme!" 1000 times

And "when is joji on?"

Living in Mexico I don’t understand at all the massive fandom Grupo Firme is having at the moment.

They have some sort of godfather pushing them into stardom.

I might have considered leaving this on while doing housework or whatever but it looks like they chose not to stream Turnstile, Nilufer Yanya, Molchat Doma, Code Orange, The Chats, Kim Petras, Spiritualized, Caribou etc etc So I guess I didn't miss much.

https://pitchfork.com/features/festival-report/coachella-2022-review-best-worst/

Pitchfork best and worst mostly focusses on what they considered best. They do blame some Coachella goers for skipping Turnstile

Their early evening set on Saturday was yet another successful iteration of this—successful, that is, in every sense except for the Mojave tent being only half full.

Guessing the writer(s) visited the artists they liked best although I would have upmost respect if they hate-watched a few sets just to include some fun vitriolic takes.

Had a great weekend. Caught one song from Arooj Aftab, did not end up seeing Nilufer Yanya or Koffee.

lefsetz saw this tiktok and now he has just learned:

Coachella is where follower poseurs go to create content for social media. It's all a capitalist venture propped up by the attendees.

a carefully considered retort:

well duh

also i don't browse tiktok, does everyone on there talk like that mushy mouthed person? had to rewatch the first ten seconds a few times just to sort out what words they were attempting to pronounce. one last observation: person on app that "manufactures fun" criticizes large scale event that "manufactures fun." person on app seems like the least trustworthy authority on "fun."

the thought occurred that it's just lef's deepfake tik tok avatar. though that's giving him too much credit, i'd wager.

whole post made me laugh a lot. thank you.

Having fun watching the Weekend 2 streams, helping with the FOMO after last weekend haha.

Wish I could have caught Koffee! This looks fun.
