Coachella 2009 - Day 1 in Pictures
photos by Darren Kim
"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]More pictures from Coachella Day One, below...

How did Moz get so pudgy if he's been veggie for the last few decades?

How does no one have any pictures of Leonard Cohen and Paui McCartney?

pretty cool that Ghenghis Tron got top play this one. That has to be the hardest "metal" band they ever had, at least that i remember (tool don't count)

1. Oberst never really "had it".
2. Morrissey is 50. Tubby yes, but veggies can easily get that way too. Lots of Vegetarian junk food.
3. Macca has a stricter policy on who can photograph him
4. Crystal Castles are fucking shit! Go work at a coffee shop and fuck off already.
5. I like how ATM machines are the first feature under Franz Ferdinand

what's the fucking point of going to Coachella if you aren't at least going to check out Ariel Pink?
