Johnny Jewel of Glass Candy and Chromatics has a new project, called Desire. The other two members are Megan Louise and Nat Walker. Desire was formed when Johnny Jewel met singer Megan Louise in Montreal. "Completely blown away by her voice, Johnny Jewel decided to lock the doors on his Portland studio, and plant roots in Montreal..." Read the whole movie-like story in the 'about Desire' section on their Myspace page.

(2 songs)

Every single act i saw was in top form! not a single bad note, not a single flub, not a single moment of apprehension by any of the performers, and for me, during the whole weekend no more than a few moments spent w/o being high, drunk or rolling haha
let's do this

In order of appearance:
Gui Boratto (Beautiful Life was beautiful!)
Steve Aoki is a fuckin rockstar
Buraka Som Sistema kick M.I.A.'s ass. plus those MCs, especially the female, have CRAZY moves. heaven in a tent.
Beirut was magical. played ALL my favorite songs.
Bajofondo is not my taste in music but their passion was exceptional. they were so inviting. and the accordian player was HOT.
Paul McCartney. walking out friday night to a crowd of thousands singing the na na na part of Hey Jude was positively breathtaking.

caught the end of the Liars, who made me cry
Surkin is a chainsmoking, recordsmashing FIEND
i sat outside the tent of Tinariwen and just closed my eyes and transcended
Fleet Foxes was also transcendent. those voices? miraculous
Junior Boys. a standout in a weekend full of standouts. they kept the bpm slower than i expected & it was perfect.
Glass Candy. one of the few bands i've seen before. but i got kicked out before i saw their whole set before, so this was almost like a first time. they have the thickest, stickiest basslines, we were able to get right to the front and danced till we were sick.

Lykke Li i'm just becoming a fan of. mostly Little Bit. a very sexual performance, which i wasnt expecting. when a performer isn't disgusting like britney you forget they are still sexual beings, bt lykke brought out her best. i would say Stevie Nicks-ish, w a bit more punk. caught a Robyn sighting. oh and the A Milli track? outrageous! loved it.
Antony and the Johnsons. the absolute BEST performance. the beats threw me off for a bit but FUCK once i got it, & once antony really found his groove during Epilepsy is dancing, i was just floating. luckily we were in the very front for this as well. PLUS antony seems like the humblest person in the world, like he doesn't know he sings like an angel. i couldn't believe the short set tho. i would've been satisfied w only one song tbh if that's all he felt like doing. he was just beyond.
then i had to walk to the front to sneak in a friend & on my way back doddled to catch Maps on the main stage. pretty sweet. bt im not really digging the rest of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new stuff.
caught a bit of X. rocked it. tho the crowd was surprisingly skim.
Christopher Lawrence, Groove Armada, & Etienne De Crecy (w his fucking cubes!!!) were SPELLBINDING. i mean, possibly some of the best hours of my life. ever.

BEST COACHELLA EVERRRRRR.
its tuesday. & i still cant get my wits about me.
yeah.
