I am always humbled this time of year. No matter how much I think I know about pop music, the announcement of the Coachella lineup always reminds me just how little I know! Half the fun of going out to Indio every year is spending the couple of months before hand investigating all of the names on the bill that are foreign to me.
Today's Coachella act of the day is N.A.S.A(North America/South America). ....here is a snippet from their bio:
While N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and contains a number of superstar artists from both coasts of the U.S., it is about as far from a tension-building geographical showdown as a record can get. Rather, The Spirit of Apollo was born with the righteous goal of bringing people together through music and art, and that is exactly what masterminds Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean) and Ze Gonzales (DJ Zegon) have done.
And the "superstar artist" cameos are awesome! Tom Waits, Kanye West, David Byrne, and in the track below, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O:(The album is called 'The Spirit Of Apollo')

Here we go...my initial post in a series of what I hope to be 76. I'll post a song a day from an artist playing at Coachella right up until I have to board the plane and head to Indio for my three favorite days of the year.
Here is the opening salvo...and I'll see you in the desert...this one just seems appropriate:
* Yeah Yeah Yeah's - 'Phenomena' MP3

I saw you at the Man Man show last week, You had a mane of sandy blonde hair that reminded me of mufasa from the Lion King.You reminded me of the female Version of Woody Allen (Alvie Singer) in Annie Hall. your golden locks made me hunger for porridge. I could be papa bear and MAUL you with Love instead of Sharp furry bear claws. email me, and maybe we can go walking in the woods.******
These missed connections posts always dance around that thin line between 'endearing' and 'creepy'...he may have slipped over that line.
