Coachella
Keep your eye out for live webcasts April 25-27 from the 2008 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. A quick description of the festival from wikipedia:
Coachella is a three-day (formerly a one or two-day) annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California. The event features many genres of music including alternative rock, hip hop, and electronica as well as large sculptural art
Beat the heat and watch online! Jack Johnson will be live online April 25 at 11am Eastern (12 pm here in CST). Other acts: Autolux, Chromeo, Datarock, DeVotchKa, Architecture in Helsinki, Hot Chip, Animal Collective, Shout Out Louds, Sia, VHS or Beta, Slightly Stoopid.
Now, I don’t know all those bands, but I do know that Slightly Stoopid has a flat-out fantastic song called “Collie Man.” Pull that one up on iTunes (don’t search YouTube, etc… all the live versions and covers of it kinda stink), you won’t be disappointed.

I will personally attest to the awesomeness of DeVotchKa, Shout Out Louds, and VHS or Beta. Now I’ll have to check out Slightly Stoopid. Coachella sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
