MY TOP 100 ALBUMS EVAR!!
I’ve compiled this list over the course of seven months or so, making it the longest time I’ve ever spent on a list. It’s tough, too.

Coachella 2011 Day 1 Recap
Well, we’re already into Saturday for Coachella this year, but if I had to go home now, I’d almost be okay with it. Because, yesterday, Friday, was one of the best concert days I’ve ever heard.

Coachella 2011 Set Times
As of Wednesday, the 2011 Coachella set times have been available from the official website. As they stand now, they’re decent, but like any stacked lineup, has way too many conflicts to handle. So here are my projected set times for Friday:
FRIDAY
1:15-1:55: THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE (OUTDOOR THEATRE)
Folk rock in the traditional Saddle Creek vein. A good modest start to the...
