Stephen Malkmus @ Coachella

Mr. Malkmus's old band, Pavement, is one of the few remaining first-tier holdouts not to reconvene for Coachella. The quieter reunions this year were those of Swervedriver and Love and Rockets; the more significant one was Portishead, reunited after 10 years, which played a mesmerizing set on Saturday. (The main stage at Coachella in the evening is one of the glories of concertgoing in America: enormous sound, ample space, desert air.) [NY Times]

@Dylan: You mean "What a baked guy!"

At the very least he was baked; homie frontman was spitting crazy talk between songs.

Stephen is a self-satisfied arrogant twit, and the pictures basically reflect that. I mean, 'Vanessa from Queens' is a funny song, but jesus he's the most annoying douche around.
