Everyone wants to be a musician or in a band, right? And because of that – it is why we have so many bands existing that we have never ever heard over. However, if you’re at Coachella or any other music festival, you wouldn’t be caught dead not knowing who a band was. Jimmy Kimmel caught a handful of liars over at the festival who acted as if they knew the bands that never really existed. What’s worse is that these fake bands have ridiculous names…The Obesity Epidemic? Really?

Coachella: Dream Vs. Reality
Every year when Coachella rolls around, I can’t help but feel a little bit envious over the friends that are actually there basking in the sun and listening to the best acts of the year. It doesn’t help that I’m just at home streaming sets (that aren’t even actually live) from their YouTube channel and avoiding the downpour outside. Life, right? When I think of Coachella, I think of it as the best music festival that I’ve never been to. In comparison, I feel like it’s not even in the same category as Sasquatch, Block Party, or Bumbershoot. Instead, it feels like a dream where bloggers get invited to host parties, camping is not all that awful, and celebrities are EVERYWHERE.
However, maybe I”m wrong. I’ve never been so I don’t know. RYOT News lays it down for us.
Dream: Chicks think they’ll look like fresh goddesses straight out of an Urban Outfitters ad.
Reality: Mud, sweat, and bodily fluids

Coachella From Your Couch

I’ve pretty much come to terms with the fact that I may never attend Coachella. It’s a sad fact, but it’s the sad truth about my bank account. Luckily, I’m not alone. Thankfully, the organizers of the festival understand our woes and have once again allowed Coachella to be streamed live. So um…that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend starting at 3PM on Friday on their YouTube channel. I know it’s not the same experience and that this year I’m not even watching it for research on booking artists and purely just for enjoyment, but it’s music nonetheless and it is simply what I love.

Vintage Coachella
Coachella 2000 – the Coachella festival that almost happened, but then in the end did not. Can we just marvel at this lineup for a second? Look how tiny it is! But also check out the big names. Spice Girls?! It’s interesting because Coachella had a stellar lineup and great success in 1999, but then for some reason 2000 got canceled – maybe due to financial reasons? We’re not so sure.

Coachella 2012
Bring on the music festival season! The first lineup for spring music festivals has just been released and I couldn’t be more excited even though there is not a chance at all for me to attend. The life of a poor college student right? As always, Coachella doesn’t disappoint and even though I won’t be attending this year, I know that someday I will and fingers crossed – it will be because it’s part of my job.
I could care less about some of the “Electric Dance Music” buzz (that’s right, I’m refusing to call it EDM,) but there are some acts under that category that I wouldn’t mind seeing.
In case any of you were worried, your blogger behind Yow Yow will never be a rave girl.
