On the subject of Coachella 2009
(I’m not posting the lineup because you can find it everywhere)
I feel bad for even doubting Goldenvoice. They always make something special and this year they at least seemed to learn that it should be special from the start (and not a few weeks before the show like last year’s Prince addition.)
