Usually, I do videos with these type of pics and captions that take a long time to edit and push through post, but in the interest of time, we’re throwing these pics of Coachella up ol’ fashioned blog style. Quaint, ain’t it?

Chuck D can do whatever the hell he wants to, but I would suggest buying an amp for the guitar player.

MIA looks great for someone who just had a baby… and is wearing acid washed jeans.

I respect Throbbing Gristle, and some DJ’s, and to a slightly lesser extent, I respect some people who wear full-length jackets made out of Dalmatian puppies, but if you’re only using one finger when you perform, you could stand to step it up a little.

Even American cheese ages better than hipsters. But then again if your band is called “Throbbing Gristle” this is what you are supposed to look like.

“Who likes attention?”
“I do!”

For that blurry guy in the headband, it probably seems like life can’t get any better…

…until now. BUT, in a few minutes, he’ll realize for the rest of the show, he’s going to be staring some random dude in the face with an awkward bulge in his pants and 115 pounds squirming on his shoulders.

Hey Robert, you’re a legend, and you can wear eyeliner until the day you die. You’ve earned that. But if you are going to wear eyeliner at your age, you need to lose some weight. You look like you’re in a damn John Waters’ movie.

That’s Fucked Up.

The most shocking part of this picture is that the guy is wearing capri pants those sandal-shoe hybrids.

If Flea is wearing pants while he talks to your wife, it is the ultimate sign of respect.

If you’re a Donnie Darko fan and inexperienced with hallucinogenics, your bad trip just got a little worse.

100 plus degrees, in the desert, playing a mid-day set, wearing black, and drinking a handle of Jack Daniels: Shonna Tucker, you are a badass, and probably dehydrated.

Whenever you see a guy that looks that ridiculous with a girl that looks that hot, you know he’s either a musician or willing to kill you for looking at him funny.

Every year, there’s always about a dozen chicks who show up wearing their bikinis and toy Indian headdresses, which is for some reason more acceptable than a bikini and blackface.

I don’t know if something else called Truckasaurus is at Coachella, but that is a photo of Serpent Mother, created by the Flaming Lotus Girls in San Francisco for Burning Man 2006. I’ve never seen it in person, but that’s one of the best photos of it I’ve seen yet!
