Paul Tollett, the impresario behind the annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival, has heard the millions of voices crying out in terror, and is looking to suddenly silence them. Yes, there's still no lineup announcement. But, in the tradition of positive thinking, that's not a bad thing--its a good thing! Here's him, via the
LA Times Pop & Hiss music blog:
"I know everybody is going crazy, but we're not stalling, we're still
working on the show. Everything we do is in service of the show, not in
service of the
announcement of the show. Believe me, we're
excited to tell everybody and we want to tell everybody, but the show
is still being put together."
Don't worry Coachella fans; we will be serviced. In the meantime, enjoy the cool picture up there that I took of Tilly & the Wall from 2007's Coachella. Look at how much fun that looks! Those were the days. Those days. In 2007. At Coachella. Ah, memories.

Maybe it's time to band together and boycott Coachella. They're not the only game in town when it comes to music festivals, anyway. GV's attitude towards its dedicated fans sucks. Maybe if they had a bad year because very few people came, they'd change their tune, as it were. Screw Coachella. There's Langerdoo (Miami, FL), Bumbershoot (outside Seattle), Bonerroo (TN), one in Minnesota, Sasquatch, many others. So, if we all just say, "Screw Coachella" this year, maybe they'll think twice before they jerk their hardcore audience around again!
