Funny cause I cant stand M83 on record but I actually really enjoyed what I heard on the live stream. And that was one of the bad shows?!?
I'm biased, as I saw them four times before touring their other albums. I might not be the best person to ask as I absolutely cannot stand the Peter Gabriel vocals and the bastardizing of old songs that they used to just CRUSH live.
I love me some Shadow and I am bummed I didn't see his set. I have seen him a couple of times and he never fails to disappoint. With that said, Modeselektor was the best set of the weekend for me. They tore that tent apart! Do not miss them, Weekend 2'ers.
Nice pics, NoD. Every time I see pictures with the clouds and the dreary weather, I just cannot fathom that I was there during that. I never in a million years would have expected to have to deal with these conditions. I loved every minute of it. The weather was unbeatable this past weekend. It looks like it is going to be a huge scorcher this upcoming weekend, so I feel even better about it.
M83 definitely had an overpacked tent, but they killed it. Morgan Kibby was going nuts onstage. I thought she was going to explode.
How close were you?
I was in the back of the tent and I could barely hear it.
I walked up right as Mazzy Star was ending. I walked through the Gobi and was maybe 15 feet back from the left video screen. I thought the sound was fine. You're the only person I've heard say any show was too quiet. (Except maybe Mazzy Star.)

It was ridiculously packed with rave kids waiting to hear Midnight City (who all left right after it.) They all left for Couleurs though, and that was awesome. The I kind of wish that they were on the Outdoor Theatre, so it wasn't as crowded, but I liked the tent's ambience.
Regarding the crowd at Coachella - it's so different than Bonnaroo or any other festival really. The Sahara tent is ridiculously packed most of the time, which leaves quite a lot of space at the other tents. Yes, there were quite a few people there just to party and be seen at Coachella, but it works out for us festies. I walked up to the rail on a number of big shows (I arrived five minutes before Feist, Refused, Mazzy Star, and Laura Marling and either got on the rail or right next to it.) and for the bigger shows (Pulp, Radiohead) you only had to be there about 5 hours in advance to get rail. The rave kids did bring a few shows down (the rail crowd for Pulp looked so bored, the aforementioned M83 show, soundbleed from the Sahara into the Mojave, and occasionally, the Gobi.) but it was incredible nonetheless. I would totally recommend going next year to anyone who even remotely enjoys music.
was mazzy star disappointing? on the webcast it was. i'm a big fan, but i was not at all thrilled with that show.
You could tell they were having some sound problems (especially Hope), but up close, they sounded great. I guess the sound quality was worse everywhere else. They would be way better in a club anyway.

The first weekend of Coachella 2012 not only sold out in record time, it also drew a record crowd. According to NBC Los Angeles, 80,000-85,000 people attended each of the festival’s three days, up some 10,000 from last year (which was the previous record) and more than 20,000 from 2009. Question: Do holograms count as people?

I'll back you up on this. I hadn't seen them until last year at Moog, but I was a big fan of everything they did up through Before the Dawn Heals Us. It's not the same band anymore, and I don't mean that as a value judgment - they just sound very little like the band that made the first three albums. While watching them at Moog, I found myself wishing Gonzalez had changed the name of the project before Saturdays=Youth. I wouldn't say the new stuff is bad, it's just not my thing.
