Coachella Lineup Coundown: Cloud Nothings

Why is Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” of 2012 on the fine print of the last day of Coachella ? Maybe, they’re trying to keep people from leaving…. either way Dylan Baldi doesn’t care.

Surf In Your Clothes

Was it Dion, Gerry, or some mysto bali bro who sparked the hybrid apparel movements for fully amphibious style in the line-up? It seems as though guys are landing cover shots by adding the extra flair of a hula shirt while whirling an air reverse. Either way: we love it, and Dion nails it.
