Coachella 2007 - Page 13

As Lisa said Gogol Bordello was the best way to close the day

We got off to an iffy start - Seeing the "Medic Tent" instead of the Gobi, Mojave, or Sahara, but NA was in good Company, the 105 temp had people dropping all over. So we took it easy.

Tilly and the Wall as a great surprise - who knew thier percussion included tap dancing?

Amy Weinhouse pulled a great performance, it's amazing to see such a voice come out of such a small body, I swear these is a 400 pound black woman hidden inside her somewhere

Of course, she had a drink in hand...

Rufus Wainwright appears to have stayed at the Beat Hotel - perhaps we can claim him as one of us?

Unfortunately the sound wasn't great, but his performance was fun. A lot more "queeny" in this venue as opposed to Hollywood Bowl where he played with his father...

I did catch Scarlet Johansen's bit with the Jesus and the Mary Chain, and even snapped this from the Jumbotron:

We caught a song and a half from the Brazilian Girls. Sabina had on this Hoola-hoop-reflector outfit that served as a portable spot light - I love this band - Between Interpol and Faithless, having also caught a few songs from each, this appeared to be the best show:

And although Gogol Bordello took the show, we did catch the beginning half of Bjorks set - but she was hard to see - my best effort:

This year the art has been spectacular - especially at night, which means very hard to photograph, but what's Coachella without giant arachnid robots?

And this year not only is there an extra day, there's an extra Tesla Coil!

That's all for Friday

Well we're in the desert - in our condo for the weekend. I think the place is bigger than our house, full kitchen and place settings for 6 - so if anyone wants to come play in the desert - call us we've got the room...

Having just seen Bjork on SNL...see Bjork!

Not Afraid · 04-27-2007, 10:39 AM

The Bjork/Gogol Bordello conflict is REALLY bugging me. I woke up singing "Not a Crime" I wish I knew when GB was playing again.

Tour dates. The closest they get in the next 4 months seems to be Ottowa.

Of course, I bet Dublin is nice in July.

I know I'm in the minority, but Bjork doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'd definitely check out Gogol Bordello.

Not Afraid · 04-27-2007, 01:07 PM

We're about to head out. We'll see what decision we end up making. This evening is filled with conflicts.

Not Afraid · 04-28-2007, 02:43 AM

Wow. WOW! What a way to end the day! We saw Bjork for about 6 songs the headed over to Golgo Bordello. AMAZING show! I blew out my ears AND my knee because I was jumping up and down over and over again. I'm not sure what they played first, but we got there just in time to hear Not A Crime, followed by Dogs Were Barking and then a ROUSING version of Start Wearing Purple. There stage show was a mass of humanity on stage - dub rappers, show girls with cymbols and a big drumb, the Hells Angels with the violen. I wanted the show to go on and on even if my body was screaming at me to stop dancing. Definately, that was this year's Daft Punk. Too bad they are going to France for a long time".

Other standouts of the day were:

a fantastic performace by Amy Winehouse. How does that voice come out of that tiny body?
Tilly and the Whale was a complete surprise as was
Digitalism.
Jarvis Cocker is soo wonderful. He opened with "Fat Children"" and it just got better each song.
Caught a bit of Jesus and the Mary Chain and Charlotte Johanson did join them for one song.
Peaches and Faithless were not favorites today but
The Brizilian Girls are still hot.

I started they day be getting dehydrated and needing a medic when we first got there. It was 105 in the sun and I was standing in it for quite some time. I didn't faint, but my eye went blind. I didnt know where Chris was and I was hanging on to my last bit of awareness using sheer willpower.Thankfully, it all came together an, after lots of ice on my neck ad some gatoraid, I was almost back to normal

Um, stay alive out there!

Prescription: one linen rectangle, water. Wet linen. Wrap around head. Enjoy your medieval do rag. Report back on the next batch of musical discoveries.
