Heading to Coachella? Think that Coachooser thing is gay? Your OCD like me? You just happen to prefer your Coachella set list in pastel colors?

You have come to the right place. Every year I put together a nifty little coachella spreadsheet that makes it easier to make split decisions while dehydrated in the dessert. If you know Excel, each worksheet is a day, and if printed in landscape it should fill up a sheet of paper. So enjoy, and see you at the fest.

At 4AM (oof) Thursday morning I will be on my way to my 5th consecutive Coachella Music Festival. You would think by now I would be used to the 100+ degree temps. I don’t think you can ever get used to that. This year I opted for a condo rental (with a lazy river!!) instead of the normal camping, so hopefully that should help. Waking up at 6AM in a 90 degree tent doesn’t make for a a very energized festival-goer.

To celebrate Coachella, as well as the official start to the music festival season, here is a “little” mix I put together of some of the bands playing this year. The mix is in the order the bands will appear at the fest. We will be sure to report back on the fest as soon as we get back.

UPDATE: Due to being strong-armed by “the man” we had to take down the mix. If you really would still like it. I’m sure i could think of something.

And as much as i am looking forward to Roger Waters…his 2 and a half hour set is really screwing me up, since Justice and Chromeo play during that same time. Some tough decisions will have to be made indeed. As always during coachella.

Weak lineup my ass.

Prince has been added as the Saturday headliner. Prepare for the purple one to melt my face with purple rain. Cheesy, i know, but lay off…i’m excited.

quote of the day from my girlfriend: “i hope he wears ass-less pants”

UPDATE: Here is one of my favorite video’s of Prince at the rock n roll hall of fame induction ceremonies, doing the guitar solo in a rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. Amazing stuff at the 3:30 mark:
