Although slightly lacking, it is Coachella nonetheless. The Sahara Tent is fairly weak, especially on Friday and Sunday. However, rumor is that Goldenvoice will be adding more acts in the future.

Every once in a while, up until Coachella, we will highlight various acts that will be attending the festival.

Some of the acts we are really excited for:
Paul McCartney
Franz Ferdinand
Beirut
Crystal Method
M. Ward
Thievery Corporation
TV on the Radio
Fleet Foxes
MSTRKRFT
Bloody Beetroots
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lykke Li
And much much more!


Hope to see you there!

Untitled Records/ Beck/ Animal Collective

Oh man.
I just found this amazing blog and I am completely excited about it. You should visit it. It has incredible amounts of downloadable music, and is just great. It is under our visit section. UNTITLED RECORDS. While you are at it...you should visit some of the other blogs in the section. Great sites, they may astound you.

I am also very excited about the finding of Beck's version of The Korgis' Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime on The Hype Machine. I have been looking for this song forever, because I did not want to have to buy the whole cd off of Itunes (what a rip off). So, seeing as I found it I will share the beauty with you all! YAY!!!



Wow have you guys heard the new Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion? Great stuff.
This is my favorite song on it. Trippy huh?

P.S. Take some time to just stare at the picture of the cover. It looks like it is moving!!! Click on the picture to see it better.

Life is Good

Don't you just love when everything works out the way you want to. It may take a stressful journey, but at times it all ends for the better. Life is interesting that way. It usually works out when people are understanding and accept the changes that life takes.

Setting: A taping of AMERICAN GLADIATORS
Ensemble: Gold Lame leggings and matching head band from American Apparel. Layering on top of that headband is one from target. Vintage gold and black sunglasses. Yellow short sleeve coat from Nordstrom. High waist shorts from Urban Outfitters.

Never take life for granted, because you never know when it will sneak up on you.

I'm really into this song lately.
Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses (zshare)

Slumdog Millionaire
















Slumdog Millionaire is hands down one of the best movies of 2008. The story is a tale through the life of a low-class Indian who is on the popular gameshow "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Because of how his life played out and the circumstances that he went through, he is able to provide answers to the gameshow's difficult questions. However, there is much more that lies beneath. Stories of love, friendship, and betrayal encompass the plot as well.

This movie was made the way all films need to be. For two whole hours I was completely engulfed in the film. It was entertainment at its finest, while still making you think and be aware of your surroundings. It was brilliant to say the least. I highly recommend this movie.
