Coachella music (player + some) review:

Artist	Review	Priority
120days	a little electronic beat, a little rock guitar riffs, a little 90s alt feel with some straining lyrics in between	4
adam freeland	headache inducing electronica.	5
aesop rock	fantastic hip-to-the-hop, great beats and lyrics, blackalicious on opium.	1
akron family	a little psychidelic. Some good lyrics, slow, enjoyable african drum beats sound out of place against a wind section.	3
american bang	self described southern fried grunge rock is not the descriptive words I would use for this popped up red hot chili peppers inspired remixed shit.	0
animal collective	aside from being fresh, rockin, and upbeat, this band has a reputation for putting on great live shows	1
annuals	indie rock: an eclectic mix of choral vocals, guitar in various amounts of distortion, melodies, even throwing sliding around now and then in a country revel. This band does so much it's difficult to place them, with this much musical talent, good things are bounc to happen.	3
architecture in helsinki	so happyand bubbly, this music begs jumping for joy. what fun to watch a group of fine instrumentalists weaving a cloak of smiles - hopefully they play old stuff	1
austin tv	a interesting guitar conversation that goes somewhere and reaches its destination. this conversation transcends the language barrier imposed by the spansish dialogue.	4
autolux	laid back indie rock with guitar licks that melt into a soothing reverb backed by a strong and steady drum kit.	2
battles	electronic meets drum meets great grooves: a party in the making, and that guy is really singing!	1
black kids	whiny indie rockers have some interesting synth almost arcade fire movement.	3
black lips	get there early, in the first few rows for proper urine exposure	4
black mountain	boring rock, not writing home	5
bonde de role	brazilian funky cold medina	5
booka shade	trancey... if you're into that blip blip beep beep business.	4
boys noize	fun housey stuff. player has one bad song, one good song.	4
brett dennen	ben harper meet guster	4
busy P	samples from go team to hip hop mixed with blips and bleeps	4
cafe tacvba	happy guitars and keyboards drive an upbeat latino dude singing about something that sounds like cuervo, turns into latin crooner on the second song. man this guy is versatile.	5
calivn harris	he's got hugs for me since I was born in the 80s. I'll give him that, but I think 80s came and went already.	5
carbon silicon	love the use of abbreviation in the track name 't f madness'. What is the world coming to!? what will happen to the extra space after a full stop!?	5
chromeo	kill me now	5
cinematic orchestra	Velvety female vocalist sails above piano and other orchestral insturments over slow methodical waves in an almost Macy Gray styling. is one of the dudes in the coachella media player singing?	4
cold war kids	indie rock with some attitude. intriguing	2
cut copy	uptempo dance music, fun: need some more of this	4
dan deacon	fun and energetic in concert, upbeat repetitive lyrics are fun to dance to, might be a strange midday concert	3
dan le sac vs scroobius pip	british dude on soapbox. nice accent and a few lyrical insights.	5
danny tenaglia	Boring techno	5
datarock	Anyone who sing about commodre 64s is down with me.	2
deadmau5	everybody's doing daft punk these days. i'm pretty sure i heard most of this stuff 10 years ago – nothing new or exciting.
death cab for cuite	oh the swooning heartfelt lyrics! Who doesn't want to father his children?	1
devotchka	intriguing use of instruments, languages, and genres. fusion rock.	3
dimitri from paris	uhm, interesting. the french are into all kinds of weird stuff.	5
diplo	he writes beats for MIA. sick break beats, bettie davis eyes? - who can hate?	2
does it offend you, yeah?	yes, it offends. a little too much yelling over some noise. not very appealing.	5
dredg	uninspiring rock	5
duffy	interesting, would like to hear more from her	3
dwight yoakam	a little too much twang for my ears, although the slide guitar is beautiful	5
electric touch	not too inspiring rock, a little on the	5
enter shikari	woah – angry emo/punk? get em outta the headphones!
erol alkan	blip blip beep beep, not holding my attention
fatboy slim	phat.	1
flogging molly	fun Irish jigging	3
golgol bordello	i hear they put on an amazing show: yeah the lyrics and music is funky, but a serious experience	1
grand ole party	dig it! wailing lady kicks some ass as the devils daughter!
holy fuck	intersting use of drums, beats. More on the rock side.	3
hot chip	dancing at my desk, that's a good sign. peppy dancerock with some funky organ undertones
im from barcelona	sounds like a party on the stage. bubblegum happy rockers rocking the stage like it's 1999	4
islands	woodwinds and cymbals! get out! thank you indie instrumentalists! vocals reminicint of BTS, instruments Architecture-like	4
jack johnson	what do you say? can be great for a sunday drive in the sun	3
james zbiela	lovely lo-fi. enjoyable, for some relaxation	3
jamie t	boring bumping blipping beeping bleeeping, repetition will only get you so far, will only get you so far, will only get you so far...	5
jens lekman	it's cool that a lot of artists are bringing back old styles and making them relevant through new lyrics. I just don't get this one	4
john butler trio	makes me think of big head todd. I dig it sometimes, but not this flavor	5
justice	love the funky beats of under this young sounding female vocalist, danceable	3
kate nash	lilly allen... look what you started!	4
kavinsky	synthy sounds way too highpitched and fast for my taste (not to mention 80s sounding, blech)
kid sister	jammin-style hip to the hop. heidi would be all over this shit. I'm all for a strong woman rapper and she's definitely following in the footsteps of the great missy elliot
les savy fav	up indie rock, great guitars, always loved go forth off inches. haven't seen live, don't care for newest album as much	4
linton dwesi johnson	reggae! thank you thank you thank you! there is nothing better than shit tons of people smoking grass and bouncing around to caribbean inspired beats under the hot sun... now if we could just break that soprano sax, maybe the kenny g flashbacks would stop. please, please make that stop.	4
little brother	in the vein of india arie, this soul music keeps it real (even if the content is not awe inspiring)	3
love and rockets	I guess coachella has something for everyone?	5
luckyiam	rap rap without the phat phat, some decent beats, shotty lyrics	5
man man	this is one crass dude	5
manchester orchestra	indie rock singer/songwriter sounds like a cross between colin meloy and conor oberst	3
mark ronson	all I can seem to find on this dude is amy whinehouse and radiohead (cover), so I'm not too excited to see him on his own. I know he's tried really hard to make it, but I don't know if I can promote him to my band	4
metric	rockin woman vocalist, need more of this	2
mgmt	this band comes highly recommended. love the rockin beegees vibe, could be fun live	2
mia	she started somthing new, her own thing, and she continues to follow her own path. can't argue with that	1
midnight juggernauts	rolling electronic rock could develop into an enjoyable show. need more of this	3
minus the bear	snoring, just a little.	4
modeselektor	beep beep beep, no go pour moi.	5
mum	one for the pixies (fairy-like creatures, not the band), two for the show!	1
murs	hit or miss, some solid beats and solid lyrics. dig it.	3
my morning jacket	I never imagined long hair from this rock-country crew, but long hair they have! the dichotomy of vocal clarity and muddled reverb create an ethereal joyride not to be missed – magheeta forever. seen 'em, so not my highest priority, but if any of them asked me to smoke 'em out - I would, in a heartbeat.	2
new young pony club	uh huh, don't hate it, don't love it, but could see myself seeing it. NEED MORE OF THIS!	3
pendulum	a little more highstrung than I usually like, but it really works – hard. One of the few electronic shows that has a real singer, not some sample of a british chick oohing and ahhing about love lost.	1
portishead	oh times most sour, oh times most lovely, take me back!	1
professor murder	don't hear anything new or inventive here	5
reverend and the makers	interesting, i could listen to more of these guys, sound a little repetitive, but worth some more listening	3
rilo kiley	i kind of lost interest after seeing her on mtv and listening to her latest album – gap add in the making?	3
roger waters	burnout?	3
rogue wave	nice folky stuff	4
sandra collins	not planning on dancing, nor trancing with her	5
santogold	mashup some reggae, hip-hop, electronic beats and throw some cynical lyrics on top. Sounds like a party getting started.	1
sharon jones and the dap kings	takes you back to the 50s, but not in an amy whinehouse interesting sort of way. not feeling it.	5
sia	really like academia (w/ Beck vocals) other than that, this emotional basketcase just needs a good therapist. her voice has a beautiful rich quality, maybe it's the lyrics that sound whiny.	3
simian mobile disco	electronic beats + grand master flash in a woman's body = before it's time past.	5
slightly stoopid	light reggae, always a favorite midday show, if nothing else is perking up the ears	3
sons and daughters	this band fades away to a hum in the scheme of the media player's contents	4
spank rock	offensive hip-hop lyrics under some house beats. never really liked these guys	5
spiritualized	I don't feel very spiritualized.	5
st. vincent	it was difficult to single her out in the chorus that is polyphonic spree, but it's great to get a glimse now.	2
stars	the broken social scene venn does it again. anything those members touch turns to a golden melody.	2
stephan malkmus and the jicks	jickin and still kickin. it's a long way from the pavement years, but malkmus continues to make great music with interesting lyrics and solid tunes.	3
tegan and sara	pop that bubblegum bubble! it's hard to hate these bouncy tunes and simple lyrics. this show is going to be packed, hopefully one of my 1's is playing on another stage.	3
the bees	reggae, rock, funk, combine to create a sound aching to backdrop a sunday drive along 101	3
the bird and the bee	love the vocal harmonies and crystal clear pitch of this group. sometimes the clapping and content are a little wearing, but happy this music is.	3
the breeders	takes me back to the days where I only really understood the single. it's been a long winding road.	2
the cool kids	a few rock riffs or synth beats pop out of solid rap beats and smooth vocal flow. this is not exactly easy listening; however, if you want to work up a sweat on the dance floor, this could be the band for you.	3
the horrors	horrific. can't get in this not-as-good-as-the-pixies-rip-off.	5
the national	love them, love them, can't get enough of them. that low baritone shakes me to the marrow.	1
the raconteurs	solid rock with catchy lyrics. really enjoy them	1
the streets	some of the best hip-hop coachella has to offer, and they're brits!	2
the swell season	if you liked the movie once, you might be really into this.	4
the teenagers	the accent really isn't working for me. maybe it's more than the accent, but they don't have to know it.	5
the verve	they really missed the boat with the sonnet but the symphony was bittersweet back in the day	3
turbonegro	sometimes you just can't get enough metal: i'm really into silver jewelry right now, call it a phase - for some people it's turbonegro, and that's cool, if it makes you happy	5
uffie	buffy?	4
vampire weekend	so hot right now. not so hot on my list.	3
vhs or beta	the 80s are so two decades ago... don't these people know that!	5
yelle	c'est vachement cool! s'il n'y a pas une autre, pourquoi pas?	4
yo! majesty	spit it, bounce it, jump it. sweet beats, a different take on the usual hip-hop	3
yoav	J.T. did you change your name!?	5
