I've been to Warped Tour more times than I can count, but I don't know if that really counts.
What DOES count, however, is
Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA. I was there in 1999 to catch Jurassic 5, Rage Against The Machine
(only time I was ever able to see them live), Underworld, At The Drive-In
(right before they broke up), Lost Amigos Invisibles, Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals, A Perfect Circle, Moby, Cibbo Matto, and Modest-motherfuckin'-Mouse! Best fucking time of my life.
Then we went again in 2001 to catch The Chemical Brothers, Weezer, The Roots
(I even met ?uestLove), Ozomatli
(best band of the weekend, by far), Fatboy Slim, Mos Def, Del, Sigur Ros, Photech and The Dandy Warhols
(I'd never heard of them before this).
I haven't been since and I understand I've missed some orgasmic performances in the past few years including Atmosphere, The Cure, RHCP, The Hives, Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Stereolab, Coldplay, NIN, Prodigy, blah blah blah it makes me sick to think I was too goddamn lazy to go.
Soon enough, I'll go again. I miss that kind of orgy of bands.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
