A cousin's neighbor used to put a firecracker between his front teeth and light the fuse. I never witnessed this idiocy, but my cousin says the kid said the explosion, "felt cold".

I was there both days at coachella actually. Pixies ripped it up.... definately hands down the best act of the festival. Radiohead was as usual, great too. But not the best I've seen...but Thom had a sore throat and had canceled his previous tour dates so i have to give him some credit. me and a friend got lucky and got VIP and backstage passes for both days, so it was incredible. Ive got some pictures on picturetrail.com (member name:katieguthrie) but they dont do the event justice. Moore is percieved mixed I guess. Suprisingly enough, i think he has a bigger crowd in charleston where I go to school. At least with people my age. Both my hometown (a ritzy suburbanite mecca) and my school (in the south...enough said) arent places w/huge michael moore support. How does cali compare? Considering the gargantuan debts California has been sunken into during this presidency, i'd bet a hell of a lot better....

Yes, I am from connecticut (and yes, besides beautiful outdoor scenery, it sucks in a lot of ways.) I go to school in south carolina, so kind of on a whim i talked to my cousin about upcoming music events there (hes from the laguna area) and he told me about coachella. So after taking finals early, i grabbed a friend, a load of cash, a plane ticket, and did the west coast circuit from san diego/pb area to los angeles (and quite a bit in between) visiting friends and such for two weeks also. At the time i was working 3 jobs, and well, money burns in my hands. Its sort of odd growing up where not too many kids are into the same type of stuff, but there's always a select few. Who wants to be mainstream anyways (hehe)... I'm such a little elitist sometimes. I havent heard the new LA station, but ill definately check into it. As odd as CT is though, i dont know if i'd rather live here or LA... LA is a little too similar to a circus for me (but gone terribly wrong...too much money for too few people, extremely elitist, and well, its la-la land.) Love northern cali though. I was just overwhelmed perhaps. I see your hometown is france, what made you want to go to california?

I'm not into tattoos so I don't know much about it, but I've had a copy of RE/Search's Modern Primatives since the early 90's. It has quite a bit on tribal tattoos. It's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good place to start.

I usually don't like it when cool bands get back together, but I'd so love to see Television.

Yes I actually wanted to go to Coachella but those cheapos wouldn't give me a pass. I'd definitively would like to see the Pixies again. As for Cure, I'm not sure if I would like to see them again but I've been thinking to go to their tour just to catch some of the other bands like Muse & Interpol.

I agree with you Cropshy; there are a bunch of 80's bands that I saw at their peak and that I wouldn't wanna see now to keep the good memories I have of their shows.
