First off... I want to say that Xanga sucks. No one ever comments. Now I remember why I like Livejournal way better.
ANYWAY: Coachella was awsome :] Donald Glaude at 4pm was rockin out. That man is sooo crazy!!! I loved it! We saw Thursday for a while and baked in the 110 degree heat. haha. Drank tons of water. That was cool. I think I spent about $30 on water. haha
When the sun went down, Coachella became BEAUTIFUL!!! it was about 80 degreess, the grass felt wonderful on my barefeet, they had lights beaming into the sky in the shape of a pyramind so when you looked up they all came together...the lights were shining through the palm trees and music was playing in every corner of the field. It was really cool.
We saw Adam Freeland at Sunset. His set was amazing. He played a breaks version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the crowd just went nuts. He dropped Rage Against the Machine and that was it. I swear I thought the crowd was going to spontaneiously combust or something hahahah. He turned the crowd from electronica buffs, and breaks fans...into a fucking metallica concert in a matter of seconds haha. That was so sick.
Then about 6,000 people piled into the tent to see The Crystal Method. They just blew me away. They were unreal. It was like a spiritual experience. The vibe was sick, the music was intoxicating...just amazing. Them and Basement Jaxx both were live, and not Dj'ing which was just...ya. awsome.
The Basement Jaxx...jesus. I wish all my friends could have been there to experience them. They had live singers, live band, turntables and computers. Not to mention a huge screen pulsing to the beat, in the background, with people dancing n shit. They closed with Where's Your Head At and the whole crowd was dancing their nuts off. I wish I could verbally explain to you how amazing their show was. But I just can't...They dropped You Used to be my Romeo, Red Alert, Where's your Head at, and a remix of Seven Nation Army mixed with In Da Club... holy shit.
AdictionGrand: fuckkk AdictionGrand: did you see basement jaxx int0xicatedxluv: holy shit int0xicatedxluv: they were FUCKING INSANE! AdictionGrand: omfg AdictionGrand: wow int0xicatedxluv: OMG. seriously AdictionGrand: serious shit AdictionGrand: i couldnt believe what i was seeing
that outta give you some idea of what you missed!! :P haha
We tried to see The Cure, but there were 40-50,000 people in front of the stage and we coudnl't even hear them from way back where we were. I've never seen a crowd like that in my life. SO we went and saw Paul Van Dyke and the massive rave that was going off in the tent haha. It was actually pretty cool. Reminded me of old days. Paul was a clean Dj, but I wasn't really impressed with his stage persona. especially after seeing all the other acts just rockin out all day. He looked bored.
HIGHLIGHTS: Basement Jaxx Crystal Method Tanning Skipping hours and hours of traffic as we were leaving. we're sneaky! Brian, Mel, Ariele, and Larissa. Good times. <3
LOWLIGHTS: Guys in skirts. wtf? People rolling around in the grass? huh? haha The heat. holy shit it was hot. Being sober all day. The crowd in front of The Cure The dirt! ew. Missing Atmosphere (FUCK!) and Le Tigre :{
It was a good day though. I'm really glad I went. Thanks to the girls for making me go!! I had so much fun :D I feel bad for the people that couldn't go. HOnestly, that was a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. <3333 Pictures to come later!!!!
