Coachella 2009 - Day 1 in Pictures

Morrissey

“Coachella exists in two time zones: the event itself and its digital afterlife. The second zone, on cameras and blogs and Twitter and video-sharing sites, comes a heartbeat after the first, like a rockabilly slap-back echo. In its 10th year now, Coachella has been the music festival for the most technologically advanced teenagers-to-young-professionals, sniffing around the alternative mainstream. Even when the music doesn’t present an argument they haven’t heard before, they’re controlling their own media representation of it; the act of listening is almost immediately contextualized into their own lives.” [NY Times]
