Debbie Harry at Coachella

I still love Debbie Harry; still bored by Arcade Fire.

Coachella Recovery

Sorry for no Coachella report, but the weekend was exhausting, and I got sick from breathing so much dust and jasmine (I’m allergic), that I’m just now starting to come up for air again. The weekend was great, though not life changing. Lots of really good music: MGMT, Gossip, Raveonettes, Thom Yorke, Jay Z, Muse, Aterciopelados. Felt like I missed as much as I saw, but that’s how it goes each year. I’ll try to write more later, but first, I have a thesis to polish and final papers to write. And a book review.

Deadmau5 Head

I sort of got a sneak peek at deadmau5’s Coachella stage set for the LA Times. We talked for a long time; I’ll share some excerpts next week. (Warning: The article subhead is wrong; he’s from Niagara Falls, Canada.)
