October is the half birthday between this years and next years Coachella, so of course I had to celebrate with a weekend getaway to the desert. The water shortage in California is apparent in the photos, as the golf course looks neglected and dry. Next year marks my 8th Coachella, and I’ve never seen the grass look so dead before. Below is a picture from Coachella 2011 that shows how lush the grass used to be.
Seventh year love affair.

Homegrown in sunny Los Angeles and playing Sunday of Coachella, Saint Motel is my current favorite. They have those dancey Grouplove or Capital Cities vibes that just makes me want to boogie! I hope they have another show in April because I’m afraid their set time at Coachella will be super early, and past track record shows I have a hard time rallying early on Sundays.
I don’t know how this duo slipped under my radar, but at least I found them before Coachella! Playing Saturday, April 11, What So Not is the collaboration of Aussies Flume & Emoh Instead. Although lately it seems that Flume hasn’t been touring under the moniker, I’m not missing this set in case there he shows up in April.
