Trying to catch up today on Coachella reviews from the weekend, since my Friday-Sunday did not allow much of any time at all for online webcasting of the event...

I think the funniest (ie somewhat sad) item about the weekend was this item from Paste Magazine about the Fleet Foxes set (which was drowned out by other nearby stages' competing music action):

Fleet Foxes (7:25 p.m., Outdoor Theatre)
"It's almost guaranteed that the Fleet Foxes' lovely brand of vocally-charged Appalachian folk would have been a staggering success on Saturday night. Indeed, it may well have been, but when a song like the austere "White Winter Hymnal" is drowned out by the lunkheaded world beats of Thievery Corporation (who were, for some reason, scheduled to play at the same time, across the field at the Coachella Stage), it just sounded like the worst remix ever. Add to that the fact that Perry Farrell's voice eventually drifted into the mix (he joined the Thievery Corp. on one song), and you have an absolute trainwreck of sound. The Foxes, and the audience, deserved better."

Better off as better does, I say.
