Man, you're totally lost in the fog if you think that way 🙂

Look, I get it—the music is obviously the main event and nothing was wrong with the lineup. But there’s a world of difference between catching Massive Attack at some random beach at 3 in the afternoon versus soaking up those vibes at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival when the atmosphere is just hitting different

Like, unless they’ve been to maybe one and a half shows in their entire life, or—let's be real—they just freaking LOVE confetti. I'm really hoping it's the second option here.😕

Anyway, I'm not saying The Flaming Lips were a total disaster, but I wanted to point out how much of a mess it looked from the sidelines once you tune out all the stage props. To be totally honest, I actually appreciated that band more before this whole Coachella thing happened. Even though I wasn't exactly a die-hard fan or anything. But hey, I know I'm probably in the minority on this one, lol.

I mean, look at Massive Attack when you're standing like 100 yards back or if the sound system is acting up—without all those crazy visuals and spotlights, the music just kind of... 🙂

Look, I've been to plenty of shows, so don't even go there...

Anyway, the B-sides were honestly pretty dull. And I have no clue what the crowd in the front two rows was thinking, but trying to sing along to "Yoshimi" felt super pathetic. Honestly, I’d go as far as saying it felt like they weren't even there. The vibe was just totally off. Aside from the confetti and the balloons, it was kind of a bust <3

A dead vibe at The Flaming Lips? Boring? Girl, where were you, hiding in the bathroom line? 🙂 ... Look, it's true that not everyone in the crowd knew their songs, but I don't think that really matters if you ask me. This was actually my first time ever hearing them live, so all I can say is 🙏🙏🙏 that for me, this was one of the most special, most cherished concerts I've ever been to... 🙂

lol. I just realized that this guy from Pitchfork was actually in the video, and he ended up waiting behind me in line for like 45 minutes for pancakes. He actually managed to talk me into just grabbing two so we could both get through the line faster 🙂

I can see we’ve got some seriously good taste in music going on here... major respect... DJ Krush & Daft Punk are absolute legends... and don't even get me started on DJ Shadow ;p
