Whoa..

If any of you are in the SD area and have $75-$140 to blow, check this out. The Coachella music and arts festival is a two-full-days concert ($75/day or $140 for both).

Day One headliners:
Radiohead
The Pixies
Kraftwerk

Day Two headliners:
The Cure
Flaming Lips
Belle & Sebastian


Daaaamn. I'm not even immensely into most of those bands, but throw in the attached film festival and art installations and... wow. That much palpably concentrated alternaemoartyboy pretension in one place... it just blows the mind. I hope there are surviors left to tell me about it when it's over.

I LURVE the new word "alternaemo" but I think it needs the æ ligature that you get in old spellings of "encyclopædia." That would make it sufficiently pretentious.

alternæmo

(On a hilariously geeky sidenote, that character in linguistics is referred to as an "ash" and so for a while I took to signing my first and middle names as "Emily æ." Does it get any more linggeeky?!)

Now is clearly the wrong place for me to admit how desperately sad I am that I don't have enough vacation time to go . . .

Dammit! Confusing the LJ with the internal monologue again!

waaah.

don't remind me. i would probably hate the other attendants, but i reeeeaaally want to see most of those bands, and though i wouldn't pay to see a cure only concert, i wouldn't complain about them being there either.
