This year, they had a wonderful lineup (although some of my favorite bands that I expected to be there weren't, it's all good). When I found out there would be a live streaming of the whole festival on YouTube, I was psyched- no I was ecstatic! As much as I wanted to clear my schedule and stay home to watch the show, I had to do a bunch of errands and go to school. I still got to see a bunch of the acts that were posted on YouTube. The only act that I really wanted to watch, but am still unable to is The Strokes. The quality of the vids uploaded are so horrible I can't hear the sounds properly. If anyone finds a decent version, please let me know!
One of my favorite parts of Coachella- or any event at all- is seeing what everyone decided to wear. I was excited to see which celebrities attended. There are those people whose styles are always Coachella-ready. People like Isabel Lucas, Whitney Port and, Coachella veteran, Kate Bosworth are one of said people. Then there are those people who go all out during the festival, like this girl in a bikini. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it!
Coachella shouldn't just be about the huge flock of celebrities that attend it (Really, do these people even listen to these bands?) or the things the people choose to wear (although they can be quite the spectacle). It's about the music! I was really thrilled to see Mumford and Sons, Crystal Castles, Robyn, Warpaint, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club, Foals, Kanye West and Ellie Goulding.
My favorite act was definitely Kanye. Even if he isn't my favorite artist out of all the ones there, he gave the best performance. The set was amazing, the dancers were wild and he was a beast when he performed! Never expect anything less from Kanyesus.
Warpaint was adorable! I love these girls, I have a thing for all girl bands. If you haven't heard of these ladies, you should definitely check them out. They are brilliant.
Foals & Mumford and Sons were so good that I decided to download their videos to my phone. Marcus is amazing and I kind of fell in love watching him sing on stage. And then there's Jack Bevan, the drummer of Foals. Ah, ginger musicians are my weakness (see Alex Trimble). Every Mumford and Sons song was great, but my favorite was Little Lion Man. I love it when a band starts a song and they start the first riff (is that what it's called?) and the crowd recognizes the songs and they all scream in unison. That's probably be the most exhilarating part of a song IMO.
There are fabulous ladies that I was glad to have caught on the live stream. Robyn and Ellie Goulding were fantastic! Ellie has the most amazing voice! She's a goddess. She looks amazing in what looks like what I wear to go to sleep. How do you do it, Ellie?
If I could just watch one show out of all those in the lineup, I'd probably pick Crystal Castles. Alice Glass is amazing. Look at this bitch stage diving with a broken foot. I wasn't able to catch the live stream so I had to watch the shitty YouTube uploads and there were very few of them. From the few videos that I had seen, I can tell it was one hell of a show! There was this part where the whole place looked like a rave! Fucking Crystal Castles, yo!
UGH COACHELLA, SOMEDAY!!!!!!!!!
Let me leave you with this video that will leave you with eternal LOLs.
