coachellaaaaaaaaa

so of course the first day of my semester coachella releases the lineup for their 2012 set. and of course it's jam packed with people i would choke my grandmother to see.
and of COURSE it's FINALS time.
of fucking course.
there are times where, for as much as it's been shoved down my throat that post-secondary education is the best to get ahead in life, i just want to drop out for a year and do my own thing. i want to make a shit ton of money, and just exist. i want to bum around in nyny, do coachella, do bonaroo. do wayy too much peyote at burning man and trip fucking balls. i just want to be homeless. a drifter with a name, and a passport, but no where to be or go. nothing to do.
i want to be jack kerouac. worse than i have ever wanted to be jack kerouac in my entire life. right now. the degree will always be there. i'm not ready. i have the worst wanderlust.

but this is a music blog. i'll write more here for when y'all wanna read it.

let's dissect the 2012 coachella lineup, shall we?

black keys, high off of their el camino release (which i have yet to do a serious write up for... i have time finally so watch closely), who also recently announced an extension to their tour with the arctic monkeys, are sure to be the to see band this year. i've never seen em live, because i live in the fucking arctic circle and no one, i mean no one ever comes here. but i have absolutely no doubt in the world that they'll put on one of the best shows of this festival.
i have not a lot to say about cat power, explosions in the sky, dear hunter, and a handful of others that i would watch if i was as drunk as this guy.
really, this is how i would make my festival roster, and i'd fucking stick with it.
black keys, arctic monkeys, mazzy star, m83, frank ocean, black angels, band of skulls, kendrick lamar, sheepdogs (whooooooo canadaaaaa), RADIOHEAD, bon iver, david guetta, miike snow, fiest (gooooooo calgaryyyyyyy!!!!!) st. vincent, flying lotus, manchester orchestra, awolnation, AZELIA BANKS, a$ap rocky, childish gambino, the vaccines, we were promised jetpacks (fucking sue me), dragonette, keep shelley in athens (only if high), dr. dre & snoop, florence + the machine, beirut, the weeknd, GIRL TALK, gotye, araabmuzik.

then i'd pass out and die from exhaustion, happy that i FINALLY fucking saw coachella. now... to drop out.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaa just kidding. maybe next year.
