Coachella – Day 1

Bjork closed the evening with an amazing set. All I can say is that the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. The touch screen synthesizers and mixers used by her band looked like the controls from a sci-fi spaceship excpet these actually worked.
The multilingual works of Brazillian Girls filled the air with English, French, German, and Spainish in a jampacked set.
Seeing Gillian Welch and her guitar friend again was also great. In Nashville she made a short special appearance. Here she played some great tunes; old, new, and standard. One included an ringing refrain, "I want to do right, just not right now."
Hi Ryan – Sounds like you’re having a really great trip! Love the pictures!!
