review two, coachella, the faint
i know i have gushed about the faint already, but i have to review everyone i saw at coachella and the order is now set at backwards.
so, i had little experience with the faint before coachella, i had listened to wet from birth at borders a gazillion times thinking i would buy it eventually- i might have seen the video for i disappear somewhere too. anyway.... i went straight from pinback to see the faint and sat in the back of the outdoor area by myself waiting for michele to be done at NIN. the faint had the amazing screens going with crazy videos. i can't even explain, it was like old moveis at times, strange art films at times, it was amazing with the rocky dance extravaganza they have going... so i watched their whole set eventually with michele there too and dug it so much. i had to run to aeomoba when back in LA to get danse macabre. what can i say, i am a fool for the faint. what else can i say, they opened with deseperate guys which is the first song on wet from birth, with the weird violin part and all. people were dancing like maniacs, it was fun to see from this secret far away view.
also, this is when i saw carlos d from interpol walking around on the lawn, looking, well exactly like carlos d. actually i saw him twice.
so thumbs up to you, the faint! this was one of my highlights at coachella this year.
