Revenge Of The Hipsters

Like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, our Coachella Valley is about to be attacked by a hipster army. In just a few short days, saturation coverage, ridiculous hyperbole and a general aura of pretentiousness will descend upon our environs. It is soon time for Coachella 2015.

Now don't get me wrong. The Festival which is owned by Goldenvoice, a division of AEG brings a lot of  money and dollars to our Valley. Coupled with Stage Coach it is a good thing for us. But even so, here are a few things I would like to make clear about it.

1.) For those of you who are going vegan or gluten free at the event, the health benefits will be offset by consuming large quantities of alcohol and/or drugs.

2.) For those who think Coachella is some ground breaking fashion statement, get a copy of Harper's Bazaar from about 1971. Pretty much the Coachella Fashion.

3.) For any celebrity who complains about lack of privacy while tweeting non-stop from Coachella, a special place in TMZ hell is deserved.

4.) A note to local music reporters and bloggers. Profiling obscure bands usually overlooks the most obvious reason for their obscurity, they aren't very good.

Anyway, enjoy Romanian Pig on Sound Stage 17 while drinking a Gluten Free Micro brew and downloading the Coachella App while wearing your fedora and retro clothes. Yikes.
