FANZINE

Well even though it’s––what?––his 3rd Coachella now? and Coachella has an unspoken policy of always having different bands, I have to say Morrissey was the best last night.  He’s like my generation’s Elvis or something, and unlike “the King” he’s stayed fit over the years, and proved it with his usual shirt removal at some point in the show, after he got grossed out by the smell of burning flesh. “I hope that’s human,” the long time vergetarian said referring to the aroma of various barbecue drifting through the desert air.

Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen also rounded out the great older team, and among the younger hits were Los Campesinos (pictured above), who heartily closed a set with Pavement’s “Box Elder,” the lyrics of which include the must be bellowed lines, “I’ve got to get the fuck out of this town.”  Speaking of which, I’d write more this morning, but gotta get the fuck out of this hotel and over to the polo fields so we don’t stand in as long of lines as we did yesterday, our mistake for arriving a bit on the late side.

Ran into bud Brandon Stosuy from Stereogum last night, which was cool.  I’d recommend hitting their site for more detailed updates today.  Okay gotta roll…  Check Robin’s or my facebook today too if you know us.
