Teddybears kill the radio stars

[Guest blogger Margaret Wappler isn't happy that the VIP tent was barren of Gatorade today. What's up with that?]

Finally, a Coachella dance band put the video screens to good use. The stepchild of the fest isn't Evan Dando but the video screens that have been mostly abused with cheeseball psychedelic twiddle ripped off from some one-shot rave in Indianapolis. Kudos to these Swedish freaks in the Teddybears who will roam the VIP tent in heat-stroking temps in bear heads just to make some seventeen-degrees-from-Paris-Hilton ladies scream and point. They photoshopped their Teddybears heads into several Criterion Collection movies, including "The Godfather," "Taxi Driver" and "A Clockwork Orange." Alex and the droogs will never be the same.
