More Coachella speculation. No sign of Britney Spears on this list, her name has been tossed around as a potential performer. Not gonna lie, not a fan at all, but whatever she does on stage would certainly be entertaining to some degree. FRIDAY Nine Inch Nails, Morrissey, Orbital, Franz Ferdinand, Puscifer, Katy Perry, Digitalism, The Presets, K's Choice, [...]

If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't sleep, so I spend a lot of time listening to music. Years ago my friend Max who mostly loves the 80's sound and Prodigy (he loved the hair, Flock of Seagulls for the same reason) got me into another one of his ultimate favorites, Orbital. His theory is that all electronica/trance/dance music is based off of Orbital and I can dig that theory. I'm pos...

Sloppy and superfluous -- a poor reflection on just how intricate and essential the band were and are.
