If you actually bothered to read my post—which, let’s be honest, some people clearly didn't—you’d see that I was talking about Electronic music. I have no idea how you all managed to jump from there to mentioning Hall & Oates or any other pop acts... 😕😕 😕

Ugh, look, I’m in a massive rush right now, but I just had to get this out there—I only just realized you thought I was talking about Hall & Oates. Believe me, I wasn't trying to be shady or anything! I was just trying to explain the specific role that singer had in my original point. Sorry if things got lost in translation, and I really hope you still end up going to the show. Peace!!

And honestly? Now I actually feel bad because I seriously wasn't trying to offend anyone or anything. Look, I was just trying to suggest that if this guy is into that specific vibe, he should probably check out some other artists too—if that's his style, he'll love them. Mentioning Seka was really just my way of saying, hey, if this is what you listen to, maybe the lineup isn't quite worth the ticket price for you. My bad, guys—no shade intended toward anyone. I'm just genuinely hyped for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival!!🙂

Kyle Jackson54 said:Honestly, I think anyone who tries to bring folk or trashy pop music—like if you aren't listening to xy, you’re definitely blasting Ceca or something—into this festival lineup should get slapped five times straight. I mean, what the hell is wrong with people?!

Oh, come on, it was a joke! Why is everyone taking this so incredibly seriously? Look, even if they *do* listen to that kind of stuff, who cares? It's not my business. I was just trying to suggest some other artists to check out—you know, things they actually won't regret listening to if it’s even remotely close to their taste.

I was spinning some Massive Attack earlier—not that I’m obsessed or anything, but if they’d toured through my city like six months ago, I probably would've jumped on those tickets in a heartbeat. Morcheba is decent enough, I guess, but honestly? You start drifting off after a while. It’s just too easy to nod off. Now, Bullys... I could actually get into a set by them. As for LCD, they’ve got maybe one killer track in my book, but the rest of their stuff just doesn't really do it for me. ☕ Look, everyone’s got their own little take—like how people at Coachella were raving about Idol having one redeeming quality, or how that "chk chk chk" track has its own merits (though let's be real, that's just because of the remix, and the critics won't ever admit that)—it’s all just endless back-and-forth, blah blah blah, you know?

😕 But man, that part about Idol really stung... you seriously can't sit there and tell me a legend only had one good thing going for them—nooooo way. 🙂 Look, if you're already planning on hitting up Pendulum, you might as well branch out and check some other acts—I guarantee you won't regret it! Unless, of course, deep down in your soul, you're actually a huge fan of Seka & Co. 😉

Kyle Jackson54 said:Honestly, I don't see the tragedy here. Look—I have a buddy living on minimum wage—we're talking roughly $700 a month. Is he really expected to drop over 10% of his paycheck just to catch a band he actually loves? Between ticket prices and rent... man, who's going to cover his utilities? Let's not start a war against people who are basically broke students living in a different state or folks struggling to make ends meet. If he wants to go, more power to him—I truly wish him luck. But before he starts making desperate moves, maybe try being a bit more strategic about those sweepstakes and giveaways—who knows, might hit a jackpot before you have to resort to extreme measures.

👍

Yeah, it’s worth it—that note is exactly what you need to look at. I did the exact same thing, but honestly, I can't even get into the damn pre-party or whatever they're calling Day Zero this year. They really threw us a curveball with those terms.😁

Thomas Peterson5 said:Wait, isn't June 22nd a national holiday? Nothing should be happening then—not even classes at college.

Well, I'm studying in Italy.😢>

Please, please, people—when does the Idol actually start?? I’ve got a huge exam on the 22nd and I won't be able to hit the road for LA until around 5 PM. (It's a solid four-hour drive, give or take) ?????? 😕😕
