[Download] The Kickdrums - 'Coachella - The Indio Sessions: Day One'
Coachella is soon upon us!!! With a little under a month to go until the three day weekend festival packed with music and arts, The Kickdrums thought they would get you warmed up for the fest with a series of mixtapes that include some of the artists performing (peppered with some shameless self promotion, of course). Indio Sessions: Day One is a series of three mixtapes, one for each day of the festival.
Make sure you head over to The Kickdrums Official Website and sign up for their mailing list for their updates.

Daryl Hall, Chromeo To Perform Together At Bonnaroo Festival 2010
File under: random but potentially SUPER AWESOME! Daryl Hall (you know, from Hall & Oates) and Chromeo have announced that they will be performing together Friday, June 11th at Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN.
Apparently this is not the first time that the unlikely pairing has happened. Back in 2008, Hall had Chromeo on his web show called "Live From Daryl's House" and the episode was widely successful. Their upcoming Bonnaroo performance is merely a reprise of the prior collaboration, slated to perform both Hall & Oates and Chromeo classics.
This performance could not come at a better time for Chromeo, who are currently working in the studio in order to release their third studio album in August of 2010. You can catch up with them in their "lab" via their currently relaunched blog. If their single, "Night By Night" is any indication of what's to come from these guys, I am STOKED.
In case you don't have it already:

Coachella 2010 Lineup: Dang, I Want To Go To There
Today this year's Coachella lineup was announced and I can feel the disappointment creeping over me, not because I don't love the lineup, but because there's no chance I can get out there to experience this unless I get a job or a sugardaddy incredibly soon from now.
Not in love with everyone on the roster, but they've spread it out enough every day that you would be foolish not to go every day.
My personal favorites include: Jay-Z, Deadmau5, Them Crooked Vultures, LCD Soundsystem, Passion Pit, Avett Brothers, Lucero, As Tall As Lions, Muse, MGMT, David Guetta, Dead Weather, Hot Chip, Mew, Temper Trap, Band of Skulls, Pavement, Thom Yorke, Phoenix, Spoon, Julian Casablancas, Sunny Day Real Estate, Miike Snow and Kevin Devine.
*sigh* Maybe next year.
