Coachella is still happening as I type this. This year's West-coast wassail--the same goes for SXSW '11--was (is) heavily filmed. The quality is great for a live stream. Coachella's YouTube Page featured a clean, organized webstream so viewers can watch multiple stages live. I'd call it a rather seamless production which has helped the rest of the world who couldn't make it to the show experience the huge line up of awesome bands. The video library is not actually complete at this juncture. But here are four videos from high and low profile bands.
Mumford & Sons is radio-friendly. A fact that is good for their success. What's strange is that they are me-friendly, too. I like their major label debut very much. Here is their first big, heavily censored hit, "Little Lion Man."
Health has a different kind of energy than the rest of this playlist. I imagine hearing it live is beneficial. I also wonder if Alex 1 knows about these dudes.
Broken Social Scene might miss Leslie Feist a little, but here they are thriving, attempting to make the crowd feel alive with energetic rock. I really like the simple, maybe-cliched-but-still-necessary-to-hear-every-once-in-a-while message at the end. Enjoy your lives!
The fact that Warpaint played at Coachella and I wasn't there makes me sad. I've continually listened to their album The Fool since I first heard it a few months ago. It's reallyamazingandImtryingtoavoidtalkingabouthowtheyreallgirlsandtheyrereallyawesomeandisntthatrarebutitshouldntbe. Here they perform "Undertow," a track no less great than the rest on the album.
