A link-heavy addendum to a review done a couple issues back. Japan's terminally mindblowing Cornelius is finally coming back here! Among other things, this will include a desperately waited for release of his amazing Sensuous (and I'm man enough to admit that I got that from pitchfork) on April 24. ... More >>

Every other blog is posting it, so why can't we? Prince covers "Creep" at Coachella, people clap. Hurry and view it before Prince's ultra-vigilant people tear it down from the internetz.

So who wouldn't want to find a way to get in without, you know, paying? Our local community radio station KUCI may have your (free) way in, as long as you don' ... More >>

So, I love Morrissey. I've seen him four times now, and each instance ranks among the happier moments of my life (yes, I know how lame that makes me sound, what of it?).

I've been to one Coachella and that was in 2003. Although the motive behind the hellacious trek from Long Beach to Indio was to see the first Stooges gig in nearly three decades, I ended up witnessing something way cooler than a shirtless Iggy. Elephants. You heard me. I saw a train of circus elepha ... More >>
For real this time.Back in April, Welsh family band Los Campesinos!, the dudes behind 2008's excellent We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, were scheduled to play Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa the day before their Friday Coachella gig.

...Without the annual tradition of the fake, overly ambitious Coachella poster? (Actually, we'd venture to say this might be the most realistic fake line-up yet--how many times has it been rumored that the Smiths are reuniting?--but you know: Perchance to dream, etc.)Stay tuned for news of the re ...

The sweetly optimistic "Remy the Rat" from Disney's Ratatouille is simultaneously the sardonic, sneering voice of killer comic Patton Oswalt. The Geek God brings to the stage an extremely well-informed, yet hilariously awkward, humor reminiscent of Lewis Black and John Hodgman. He's only glad to cy ... More >>

Beth StirnamanCoachella attendees staying classy during Day 1 of 2009That's right. No space left for car and tent camping.

That meant no clusterfuck at the gate, and a wait in tr ... More >>
