The Ghosts of Coachella Past :: Live driving mix

I hear sometimes there's traffic.

If you are heading down to Coachella this weekend in the center of the Indio desert, you may encounter a few other (80,000) folks doin the same. What shall you do whilst idling?

After Netflixing the movie about Coachella last weekend filled with so many great live performances from the past seven fests, I felt compelled to look for some of them to put on my iPod. Turns out that it makes quite the fine little mix to keep you company on the drive.

This and In'n'Out, and I'm all set:

Damn. The more I find out about it, the more I really really really wish I attended back in 2005. =/

Ah well, no good in regretting about the past. I'm off to catch the Coachella Express. =D

You were a doll for posting yesterday's song. You're a goddess for posting these. Well, actually you were already a goddess.

Having attended in the past, I don't feel I'm missing much by not going this year. But Prince is playing...damn. Prince!

A great compilation mix...just the thing. Coming hot on the heels of the Coachella mix, you've outdone yourself this week even by your own standards. Take the rest of the week off! (Um...actually...dont).Keep the great posts coming!

I love your mixes so much that I am constantly referring my friends to them. Best ever!

No offense, but you couldn't pay me to go to Coachella. Hot, crowded and way too big to see your favorite bands. I just wait for them to pass through L.A. and I'm good. My friend is a camera man for the webcasts, so he gets paid to go but he can't understand why people would pay big money (and gas) to play cattle for three days.

Great blog though.

NICE! I can always use a good driving mix, so I think I'll grab this one. Maybe bump it on the way down to Bonnaroo in a few months. Hey, a fest is a fest, right?
