This is usually my love letter to coachella, this yeah im pretty sure is my last.. so here is my farewell letter. You will be missed.

So going into it, I knew that this years coachella would not be my favorite. The lineup was mediocre at best. But it was going to be my first coachella with my super friend so I was looking forward to that. Usually I spend about 3 months looking forward to the festival and not this was the first time that I was not feeling that, in fact the opposite..I had to be reminded repeatedly of the special first. It was also albie's first coachella and my first coachella with paul and the first coachella in 2 years that frank actually came. So in theory should have been an amazing time. WRONG!!!

In fact everything that could go wrong did.

First a fucking stunning house was booked in January, then wednesday, not even a full 24 hours before we are supposed to leave they call matt to say that the house in "uninhabitable". Um wow. Then they inform him that they have another house that is "better" that we can stay at instead. We did end up with a place to stay so we arent completely upset but its not the place booked in JANUARY!!! (you can real a full review of the house at franks yelp page here: http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=27SO9ha7WaKRydWkjeeXtA

Friday morning we all wake up at a reasonable hour and start drinking fruit smoothie cocktails. I might have to say that was my highlight of the weekend.. MMmmMM were they yummy. It was rather hot me and matt jumped in the pooll. During that time frank and paul and albie start getting ready and to our delight we find out...joy  NO HOT WATER!!! And we all know you have to take a shower before going inside.. Whatever at least the shower didnt sober us up. We leave to go and get there without any real problems except that no one is selling tickets (and we didnt buy them beforehand).Wah. Whatever they have a ticket kiosk now,  problem solved. New problem, they are pretty much the ugliest tickets ever..Oh well as you will learn this is a not a memory i want to hang on to. They didnt check us at all when we got in which was really awesome except that we didnt bring booze with us!!! Whatever.. So Friday was the day I thought would be the worst. Paul Mc Cartney and Leonard Cohen, I mean I can appreciate them, but I NEVER EVER EVER need to be anywhere where they are playing. The people that came for them were really disgusting and funny at the same time. I cant really say much positive about anyone that was playing on Friday.OH I take it back White Lies were actually really fucking stunning. We get in an head to my home away from home aka the dance tent. We get in during Steve Aoki's set(BARFFFFFFFFFFFFFF), which I didnt want to see, but paul didnt change his clock so told us it was the wrong time. Felix da Housecat was gross, just like the last time I saw him. Then we tried to smoke our first joint and first off are they too sticky so they dont stay lit(we did manage to work it out durning white lies though), then a fucking rent a cop comes and makes albie put it out.. and gets really dramatic. Hell no, now I understand that weed is not a cigarette but come on now, you are at an outdoor music festival. Whatever. The day goes on and for the first time since I have ever been, it actually wasnt that hot. Franz Ferdinand were super cute actually they might have even been my highlight for Friday.  So now we are at 2 out of 5 and some long beer breaks in between. After that we were all supposed to meet up again before ghostland at the etard spot so it took a while to meet up so me and matt went to n.a.s.a for a minute and seriously every other moment was cute. Yet another disapointment, we did however get to hear a minute of money so it was all good.... then there was disaster that is Morrissey. I have always prided myself in my hate for him and I now realize that I was not just being a hater, he does indeed suck. I am not even going to go there with what he said Im sure enough people have done enough hating. After that we caught the last minute of peanut butter wolf who also sucked. Then we all met up again for the final time of the night, and all together again for the presets. We have all seen the presets together and I have seen them too many times, but to see them at coachella was something I was super excited about especially in my favorite place in the world, the sahara tent. Actually this was the one thing I was really excited for on Friday. Unfortunately they were another huge disappointment. They completey wrecked (and not in a good way) if i know you and are you the one. It was way too crowded and there was basically no room for us to dance together, and then the crazy guy stomping all around stomps on my fucking toe. What a great way to end a great first day.

We get back to hell on via lazo and drink some more and somewhat try to sleep. We all wake up again at a reasonable hour and drink mimosas and then jack and cherry pepsi on the way to the festival. We missed some people that we wanted to see but managed to find a meet up spot and then split up again. Para One was ok, he might have actually been my first time dancing in the fucking dance tent so far, and for anyone who knows me that is not right at all. Saturday there was a lot of gaps for me and matt, but whatever. So after a lot of sitting and waiting we head over to glasvegas who dun dun dun.. dont show up. So now our 2 plus hour break turns into 4 plus since we werent feeling surkin. I really couldnt tell you what the two of us did that time,because our joints still wont stay lit, but somehow we managed to kill all that time and had just enough time to swallow our fun and then head to junior boys just before they had time to hit us. And hit us they did yet somehow junior boys still managed to unimpress. Up next was glass candy and then gang gang dance so we werent leaving for a while. We swallow some more fun and then its time for Glass Candy. Glass Candy were fucking stunning and we all danced our asses off. So sad that not until saturday at 10pm does coachella finally start getting good. This has never happened, and to be honest I cant say that Im suprised the way that this year was going. Now its time for gang gang dance and all of us are floored, i think I only managed to stand up and dance for one song and we swore there was a crazy stage show going on, which apparently wasnt. Hahaha.. well at least saturday ended good.  Oh I completey forgot, at one of our endeless breaks frank lends this guy a lighter who smokes us out with hands down the best weed ever. I seriously love you, whoever and wherever you are.

Now its sunday and we only have one day left. We spend the beginning of that day being nasty to each other which is kinda killing my day already and Sunday was the day I was excited for. I blame this on the lack of sleep that me and paul and matt had or didnt have rather. We again missed some people we wanted to see but did manage to score some mushrooms in the parking lot. Sunday was the hottest day of the festival so maybe not the best day to be that on one that early.. but whatever we survived it. Lykke li was fucking amazing but at the wrong stage at the wrong time. Then after we took the best pic ever, and got told we were a cute group of friend. Ha i love heart shaped chocolate mushrooms. Matthew Herbert made it ok that Hercules didnt play since he managed to make antony and the johnsons halfway tolerable. By this point we are all really on a bomb one and its time to start heading to the yeah yeah yeahs who never disapoint. They almost did because miss o said last song and they hadnt played heads will roll yet... but by the grace of something they played 3 more songs one being yes you guess it.. Heads will roll!! After that we split up again and were going to meet up again before the kills. We somehow manage to meet up again, watch their amazingness together and try to spend the rest of the night together. After that was yet another disaster..groove armada who djed one of the worst sets I have ever seen. Maybe its a good thing I wasnt at the dance tent most of the weekend. Cez finds me just before etienne de crecy for what I was sure would be the highlight of my weekend. The cube lights up and we run to the front.. for the fucking disapointment of a lifetime. Seriously look up videos elsewhere and compare.. shit looked like a 4 year old put it together. I think we even managed to leave early and get out in good time.

By this point there is generally a song..no an anthem of the weekend. This year there wasnt one and I am honestly glad, that I dont have to think of this weekend ever again. Now usually after all this I think to myself.. if it wasnt for the music I dont know what I'd do. This year changed to if it wasnt for my friends i dont know what id do. I am pretty sure that this will be my last coachella and im super glad I spent it with you.

..so this was it, the show I have been looking forward to since before it was even announced to be a show. With a very heavy heart I regret to inform anyone who cares that it was one of the most disapointing shows I have seen. She was amazing just on mute, and we all know that mute is not cute. The troubador is my least favorite venue, probably ever. The sound is fucking shitty and its way to hot and gets way to crowded. Last nite was not an exception by any means. Only during paris is burning could you actually hear her voice while at any other moment any singing you did hear came from the crowd. Dont get me wrong it was super cute to be in a room full of people who care like I do, but I did come to hear her sing not a karaoke version with her and her band on instruments and the audience on vocals. Heres to hoping next time her mic is on and that she can finally set me on fire.. even though I was feeling her cute outfit i just wish she could have seen mine.






..oh and to the guy screaming paris is burning behind me.. yeah im still deaf.

..its time again for the post coachella blog,and this year I'm pretty sure I will have that 3 day weekend on my mind for a long time(probably until daft punk or next year to be honest). This was the first year that coachella was 3 days,and I think that was the best idea ever since you wait and wait for that weekend to come and then when it finally does it just flies by so fucking fast it gives you whiplash. This year still went by fast but not as fast and you can't ask for more than that. Unless of course you have some amazing friends with you,which I also had. Then there is of course the fucking music which is why we all go in the first place,despite the ridiculous heat they make us party in. This year was no exception in the heat category,total scorcher in fact, but I didn't mind one bit.

When we arrived on thursday and checked into the house and hit the store we started drinking right away and just having a really good time together. The drinking continued all weekend long and when we left friday we were all pretty drunk,luckily we got there just in time to catch digitalism which was my fucking favorite way to start out at coachella ever. They were beyond amazing especially since I was expecting them to dj not play live stuff. I love moments like that where you weren't expecting it and it just totally sweeps you off of your feet. After that I split up from joe because peaches was taking way to long to start and I wanted to see felix da housecat instead. That didn't really work out and I then lost joe and spent the majority of friday alone until about 8 or so when I ran into my girl alex. I was actually really irritated the majority of friday because I was having to much fun in the pool being a drunky and forgot to roll some joints so I only had one for all day,which I was defintely saving for bjork. Somehow I managed to met up again with joe and chris right before bjork then also ran into my two lovlies the matt's who were kind enough to give me a brownie(thanks guys love you!!!). So we go to watch bjork together, I was excited to see her, but what she ended up giving us was totally unexpected and completely renewed my love for her,sorry that I lost it for a minute lady. I was actually silent the entire time in a fucking trance like state not even able to speak or really move,but dance I sure did when given the proper beat. (Sorry nic for not writing you back more frequently,she was just that good.)The fucking music machine that the guy who was playing with her will probably be talked about for years to come. If you have any info on what that was get at me,since me and all my boys are going to chip in on one.

Saturday was going to be my dancing day,I knew this ahead of time that after hot chip I wouldn't be leaving the dance tent. I rolled the proper amount of joints this time so there was no irritation on my part. We made it just in time for hot chip who are always amazing live, but this time while they were still amazing, just wasnt one of my highlights because it was so crowded we had to be outside of the tent and not inside, and it's very rare for that to still be ok and fun. MSTRKRFT was next and as usual they fucking killed it. Chicago chris and I made our way to the front and were hardcore getting down. Fucking fantastic. They played so many amazing tracks, but the best moment was when they played their remix of justice's d.a.n.c.e... that was seriously the best remix I have ever heard from them,and then throw in the mix that (they are claiming) was the first time anyone had ever heard it and you have to somehow feel a part of something great when that happens. Next up was some walking around walking in the maze getting wet by the water dancers and catching the end of busy p & dj mehdi before justice were to begin. I don't have enough words to describe how great justice were. Apparently this was their first time playing a live set and I feel honored and privileged to have been there. It was non stop fists in the air and jumping up and down. I had to miss !!! which makes me really sad,but we sat outside the tent for a minute so at least I got to hear some songs. Next up was lcd soundsystem who were really good but I was kinda irritated again and that point due to some stupid shit, so I didn't really fully enjoy them. I finally met up with nic and ceaser again and we fucked shit up when the rapture played who were the best that I have ever seen them. Playing first gear is the perfect way to end any evening. But then it got better we got back to the car and were waiting for kevin and donnie and the guy a few cars down was playing homework and me chris joe and chris all danced there in the dirt for about an hour,which in all honesty will always remain my favorite memory of the entire weekend.

Sunday is always a rough day because you know going into it that its going to be over after this, and you have to wait a whole year again but you have to make the most of it and that we did. We got there in time to see soulwax who were more amazing than usual and the one I have a crush on seriously needs to impregnate me asap. Then we headed over to css with donnie and kevin who i keep forgetting to mention,and love with a passion. We were really far back and chris wasn't feeling it so 3 of us moved up to the front and actually managed to squeeze our way into the middle of the front with plenty of room to dance and actually hear them with good sound,which made chris happy and all of us dance. We did some more walking around and eating before heading over to air,which was sadly the disappointment of the year. It's not the bands fault that they were 40 minutes late(at least I hope not) but being that they were their set was then cut to only 6 songs and ended right as they were getting really amazing and joe asked me to fucking smoke!!!! Next we went to ratatat,j ust me and joe this time the other chris's were watching damien rice, for what was seriously one of the most passionate performances that I have ever seen. I have seen ratatat a few times already but this one tops the cake for sure they were all crazy dancing so was the crowd it was just perfect. Then we all met up again for spankrock and by the grace of some higher being we met up with donnie and kevin again for our final danceoff. Spankrock were so good that it hurt to be standing still,literally. Nic was stuck somewhere else but I managed to get him to come over for the last track and then we all left together trying to beat out the rage crowd didn't have much luck,then also didn't have the easist time finding the car. But we finally did and that car ride home will always hold a special place in my heart as will this entire weekend. I have never danced so much in my entire life and now seriously don't ever feel like walking again, but instead just dancing from place to place. Who wants to join me??

Thanks t joe,chris,nic,chris,ceaser,kevin,donnie,brad and everyone else I'm forgetting about for the best weekend ever. I can't wait to do it again next year.

was without a doubt this years coachella.this was by far the best coachella yet and in all honesty i dont think there can be one that will top it.. daft punk were beyond amazing and my life will no doubt never be the same. mylos dj set was insane.metric made me loose control.those were my top 3 the rest was also amazing but nothing can top that i wish madonna was on that  list but thanks to paul oakenfold for blowing out our speakers.we couldnt really hear shit ..we got into the groove anyways though.also amazing were:scissor sisters,jamie lidell,audio bullys,louie vega...but what i found most amazing this year was the good times spent with friends new and old and realizing just how awesome the people that are in my life right now are.

this will not turn into another one of my endless praises for mr price. but good god even she says "without you this record wouldnt have been possible". i love madonna anyways,yes i know im a fag, but working with him on the whole record was prolly her best move to date. i dont want to hear.. any of the hate..its just pop music meant to make you dance.. so shut the fuck and dance already.
