COACHELLA WRAP-UP

I was completely bummed that I wasn't able to attend this years Coachella Festival in Indio, California. I had intended to go, but I ended up going out of town at the last minute, which left me coachless. Also, musicbleep scored an interview with the talented James Morrison, but that fell through at the last minute as well. I guess it just wasn't meant for me this year. Big shout out to Allen for representing and putting on his journalistic hat last minute (even if he didn't get to use it).

It's ok...not upset! There are a ton more festivals in the upcoming month and I plan to attend at least a couple.

So, if you didn't make Coachella this year - check out some videos I found for you all!
