What an Awesome Line Up the best being the last day .
A local band creating a buzz is Horrors Of Toledo www.myspace.com/horrorsoftoledo
They are playing a free show in Orange County on Tuesday Feb.3rd at the Detroit BAr in Costa Mesa with Sweethead which features Troy the awesome guitar player of Queens Of The Stone Age.. Its a free show 21 and over.
Horrors Of Toledo have their own unique angst ridden and times poppy folksy sound and have recently opened for The Deadly Syndrome and played legendary Bass Master Mike Watts 50th birthday .Not bad for a bunch of barely 20 year olds.

Morrissey supporting that boring McCartney? Whose idea was that? Pathetic! oh, I and still have my Hollywood Bowl Amy Winehouse no-show tix from '07.....I see Sunday as the day to go MBV/TG/Paul Weller on the same bill? that's amazing!

Yeah - to show up, she has to quit premature retirement, avoid any more big life crises between now and April, get a visa waiver (since her drug rap would otherwise bar her from the U.S.), stay clean and sober before & during the gig, and be able to perform.
And the odds are ...? (I mean, she's still drinking, erratic, 'way behind in recording, and has either a divorce or more marriage-lunacy looming.) It's sad.
Which might be why her 'comeback' puts her on a bill with 40+ others, so people won't feel totally burned if she doesn't show.

Wow! This is a killer line up. Another great year at Coachella to look forward to. There are so many outstanding international acts. Winehouse will be worth seeing for the trainwreck factor, but not sure about Paul McCartney, perhaps I should buy a ticket for my grandma instead for Friday? Some great US acts as well, fantastic to see Christopher Lawrence back on the line up again.

It's so nice to see Gui Boratto, the only brazillian, in the lineup of this important event.
This guy is so talented that he deserves all the attention of the crowd.
