Maybe i’m going to sound like an old fart, but I just don’t get the new music at Coachella.
Most of the bands are comprised of pissy-pants youngsters whose style sounds like some junior high band emo nerds starting to learn how to play their instruments.
I guess the “big” headliner is radiohead this year. But most others are unheard of groups that are below the radar of interest.
I suppose my consternation is the same as '60’s hippies questioning heavy metal metal music evolving into the '80’s.
I’d love to see Jeff Magnum. There’s plenty of other decent bands there too but personally mostly the sort I’d rather see in clubs than at a festival.
Radiohead are crappy live. Neon Indian and M83 are good festival bands. Explosions in the Sky are good. Bon Iver’s last album was brilliant, but don’t know what he’s like live.

I feel ya man. Most of these bands look like a buncha hipster faggots straight out of high school haha music these days is pretty darn sissy. That said, Band of Skulls is a good band! wouldn’t mind seeing them again. Plus gotta love M83!
Coachella scored a coup this year with Amon Tobin’s Isam live show…

the tupac thing they did was crazy. if you haven’t heard, they did a 3d hologram of him singing with snoop.
Hahaha! It didn’t even register this morning when my co-worker asked me if I went to Coachella to see Tupac. I just told him “No, I don’t care about that stupid hippie-fest,” totally missing the fact that Tupac has, of course, been dead for over 15 years.

I keep imagining all the people out there tripping balls trying to figure out what the fuck they were looking at…
He’s moonwalkin’ like a mofo . . . just slidin’ and glidin’ on that stage.
That is super badass, though!
Ok… so let’s do predictions now…
who is going to be the first dead artist to tour the world as a hologram?
???

If it’s “World” tour, I’d say MJ is favored followed by Beatles.
If it’s strictly a US tour, Whitney has second place with a chance to take the lead, simply because her fresh corpse still has momentum.
Abba 4th. Ramones . . . no way (but would be great to see conflicted aging punkers fighting over whether this is a complete travesty and insult to the Ramones or a beautiful tribute).
Damn you emseaeye you beat me too it.
I thought Elvis immediately!!
this shits all over those silly laser shows… sorry dj pon 3 but you have your work cut out for you now!! a beam of light that makes a cash register during pink floyds Money aint shit compared a beam of light that can replicate a dead star all the way down to their genitalia outlines on their holographic clothes. see about 2:10 on sick steves link.
Late,
grmpysmrf
that tupac isht is crazy.
I guess it’s an appropriate time to bring up this song:

I actually used to manage that band right after their first record came out. I was pushing the underground/college radio angle, but they naturally wanted to go the clear channel big rock star route, so we parted ways. They had some really funky tunes, but they also had some songs that were clearly Creed songs with new lyrics. In the end, the local big money alt-rock station put this song on a compilation cd and gave it heavy rotation, ensuring the band died a one-hit wonder. It’s really kind of funny how far and wide people know this song, they all kind of wish they never wrote it…
Is it a real hologram or is it the common trick to creating a holographic style image where you project something onto a mirror that reflects on a pane of glass?
I’m not sure what the technical definition of hologram is, but that image just looks amazing. I’m so surprised with how “solid” he looks. Usually a hologram is faint and ghosty and you can see right through it. But this Tupac is righteously solid looking.
I thought it would have been cool if Snoop messed with the audience by walking through Tupac or chopping at him with a sword.
hahahha this shit was sick!!
I’d love to see Jeff Magnum.
I’m sorry, but that can’t be a singer/musician.
It is obviously a PORN NAME.
Read a headline that Gerard Butler fucked someone in a port-a-potty while at the event. Don’t know what to think of that.

Please find that so I can put it on my wall as the greatest headline ever!
