Regina Spektor is an artist that is rapidly ascending towards the top of my list of artists that I need to see on Day 2. At this point, I would probably put her at #3, behind only the New Pornographers and RHCP.This puts Regina Spektor ahead of both Blonde Redhead and Arcade Fire. I actually like both of those other bands more than Spektor, but I've seen them live before, and I've never seen

Ugh. I haven't made as many entries in this blog as I thought I would have by now. My latest excuse is that I went to North Carolina last week. Driving from New York to North Carolina takes quite a while, and that gave me a chance to listen to a lot of albums in the car. In all, I listened to 17 new albums from bands that will be at Coachella.All of the albums had at least some good moments,

I had to do some driving this weekend, and I took the trip as an opportunity to listen to some bands that will be at Coachella this year. I was able to listen to six complete albums, which were, in the order I listened to them:The Good, the Bad, and the Queen - The Good, the Bad, and the QueenThe Fratellis - Costello MusicLCD Soundsystem - LCD SoundsystemAgainst Me! - Reinventing Axl RoseThe

Lily Allen is performing at Coachella on Day 3. After taking a listen to her album, 'Alright, Still', I've decided that I will most likely try to catch her performance. The album is pretty good. I would describe the album as "British Future Lounge-Hop", or maybe "Alterna bubblegum hip-pop". Yes, that's right, hip-pop. Has that term been coined yet? I think I might have just invented a new

I like to have a plan when I go to a big music festival. I like to figure out what bands I'm interested in in advance, and rank them. This comes in handy if there are any conflicts, which does tend to happen (unfortunately), since there are 4 or 5 stages with performances going on all the time.So, I thought it might be interesting to give my band list now, and then I'll give another one at the

Of the three days at Coachella, day three is definitely the the day that I am least looking forward to. First of all, the headliner that day is Rage Against the Machine, a band that I couldn't really care less about. I know some people who thought they were awesome, but I never really got into them. Too much rage for me, and not enough melody I guess.Of the other 35 or so artists performing

Welcome to the very first ever post of Pop Fiasco. I have high hopes for this blog, meaning that I hope to have not abandoned it within a week. So let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Jeff and I like music. Sometimes I read the SPIN magazine, and I think, "Geez, how do those writers write music reviews? They must be the coolest people ever". I don't even know how to begin to
