Coachella 2011 Lineup Announced!
Man – its been ages since I’ve written a blog, partly because my site got hacked about 6 months ago, and also the launch of my new clothing company, LA vs THE WORLD
I’m just so damn excited to write this review I don’t know where to begin. This is the one time of year every music lover salivates all 365 days over. I’ve already heard some people complaining that this years lineup isn’t that strong… GET REAL. What do you want — every single dope act known to man to be on the playbill so that you miss 3/4 of them because they are all playing at the same time?? This is what happened last year at Coachella 2010 — the strongest lineup to date. I am more than satisfied will the 2011 Coachella lineup. Thank You once again Goldenvoice!
As hard as is it to do, I’m going to break into consideration the top lucky # 7 acts of each day — cause let’s face it, you’re at the parties all day long and frankly you’re probably not even going to see 7 shows a day!
Having said that, all the aforementioned acts will be accompanied by their most revered songs, and a link to a video of it to get yo ass pumped up! I will also name the day’s awards — which I will call…. Well lets just name ‘em afterwords
I call this the “I’m excited to write a blog about who you should be excited to see at Coachella this year!” blog post
