73 Days To Coachella

When the Coachella Music Festival 2012 Lineup was announced we of course were very excited to see Radiohead ,Shins and Kaskade are performing on Saturday, Florence + the Machine, the Hives, Girl Talk, Beirut, Gardens and Villas, and Goyte all on Sunday, Swedish House Mafia on Friday, M83 on Friday, Afrojack, Arctic Monkees, Madness, and on the third line last in line a surprise we weren’t expecting.

James.

I remember buying a CD in 1987 – ‘Just Say Yes’ “Ya Ho” and then 1988 – ‘Just Say Yo’ Volume 2 Just Say Yes and there was a song by James on it. “What For” sold us on this group.

We have a couple of their CDs and have always enjoyed them. Especially the live version of Sit Down (Live At G-Mex). I love listening to this song. It reminds me of the energy of concerts. Their cover of “So Long Marianne” for the I’m Your Fan – The Songs Of Leonard Cohen compilation is excellent. Genuine music. Of course “LAID” is a great CD and “WhipLash” stands next to it.

We’ll be waiting patiently for this great groups’ performance at Coachella
