Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth is slumped on a couch at a Lower Manhattan loft, having just completed a lengthy photo shoot for this magazine’s cover story along with Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear and George Lewis Jr. of Twin Shadow.

Day two of Coachella 2010 alas offered few highlights. This year Coachella has put way too many great artists on Sunday’s bill, which will inevitably lead to a lot of Sophie’s Choice-like moments of picking between which favorite artists to see. Whereas Saturday’s bill suffered from a lack of must see artists, there was no shortage of artists worth checking out, it’s just that few of them delivered. Matters were not helped by the fact that the best set I saw was also the first set I saw. Almost everything underwhelmed after that. More
