Getting a later start today. First act, Destroyer. See you on the field!

2:54 pm

Made it through security just in time for Azealia Banks to sing a little bit of “Valerie” a capella. Hardly a cloud in the sky. Everybody in security line was sharing their horror stories of a rainy, windy Coachella.

4:38 pm

Trying to meet up with the lovely Laura Studarus at tUnE-yArDs, who is manning our Twitter feed. Keepin em honest! Unfortunately, all I’ve managed to find is a girl with a tambourine and no sense of rhythm. This might be painful.

“Just close your sunglasses eyes for a second and imagine a beautiful place with sun and mountains in the background and then open your eyes and you’re here!”

Andrew, the prettiest song bird of them all gets to kick off the sunset hour for us.

7:23 pm

And the one and only Jeff Mangum.

8:24 pm

And just like that, Annie Clark goes crowdsurfing to new song, “Crocodile.” In her words, “Fuck yeah, Coachella.”

9:02 pm

Feist feels good about the evening. “We accept you as an audience. You accept us as a musical performance group.” Deal.

Not sure which is more entertaining: watching Godspeed or watching their engineer hauling ass. At any rate, it smells like Nag Champa in here.
