Island life, and the notion of isolation that often form gray colored thought-bubbles between my head and the ceiling, is a problem that I find myself combating more and more as I get older. Thankfully airports have planes and planes have wings, and wings….wings help me to get my Launchpad McQuack on, son! “Skyward hoooo!” Yes, I actually shout this while the plane lifts off.
I normally make sure my yearly escape coincides with a music festival of some sort. Which is why today, the 15th of April, hurts my butthole for reasons beyond waiting till the 11th hour to file my taxes. This, by all accounts, SHOULD be the day I leave for my annual trek to the desert. Coachella beckons.
In this blog-driven social climate, where everything new and fascinating instantly becomes today’s cool and tomorrows yawn, it’s nice to be able to say that you were there “back when”. Although far from it’s inaugural year, we did manage to make it to our first Coachella in ‘03. Should have been ‘02, but we overlooked it for Audiotistic; “the other Southern California massive”, RIP.
I’ve forced myself not to look at the Coach. line-up this year, for fears that the bitter taste in my mouth left by the idea that won’t be going, may turn into full-blown clinical depression. Instead, I’ve decided to post up a couple of my favorite stand-out moments of years past. Sort of my own personal “Manini-Coachella-Kanekalipa-Junior.”

*If decent video existed for it, I’d have added: Digable Planets, MF Doom, Buck 65, TV On the Radio, Wilco, The Rapture, DJ Krush, New Order, Gang Of Four, Autolux, Pendulum, Ed Banger, The YYY’s, Phoenix, My Morning Jacket, Imogen Heap, Metric, Belle and Sebastian, Lyrics Born, Ratatat, DJ Heather, Holy Fuck, Interpol. I wish I could goooooo!!!
