The News as of 10/25


Coachella Music & Arts Festival

.....In Indio, CA, October 9th & 10th there was an awesome festival. The bands playing the 9th included: Superfurryanimals, Modest Mouse, Spiritualized, Breakbeat Era, Art of Noise, Underworld, Bis, Cornelius, Perry Farrell, The Chemical Brothers-Morrissey, Beck, and others, all in that Night! October the 10th included: Fantastic Plastic Machine, Gus Gus, Moby, Cibo Matto, Pavement, Ben Harper, Rage-Tool, and many others, all in one night. To me, that lineup was better than Woodstock '99. If I lived anywhere within 250 miles of that place, I would have been there! If anyone went please e-mail me about it. More info on Coachella 1999
