Please specify what number you think is yours, describe some “non” coachella pictures on the camera that could easily prove it’s yours, such as pics of your bulldog or whatever, what kind of camera is it, how do we turn it on to view the pics, and a way to get a hold of you.

Thom Yorke and his band Atoms for Peace went through every song off of Yorke’s 2006 solo effort, “The Eraser,” in intense fashion during the band’s first Coachella appearance. Yorke and bassist Flea danced so hard we hope their backs are okay. Yorke knows his audience, and after going through the “Eraser” material, gave Radiohead fans their fix with acoustic versions of “Airbag” and “Everything in Its Right Place.” The biggest treat of the show really was watching Yorke enjoy himself so much – the guy smiled way more than he does during Radiohead gigs and danced his ass off.
Was it live? Or was it recorded? Hard to tell since Gorillaz relied on pre-recorded tracks from rappers like Snoop, Mos Def for support. What Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn did bring to the stage was world-class entertainment via cutting edge visuals and musical contributions from the Lebenese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music, De La Soul, The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon and crooner Bobby Womack. No one fuses hip-hop, electronica, exotic sounds, and dance floor grooves better than Gorillaz, and their updated versions of past hits like “Dirty Harry,” “Kids With Guns,” “Feel Good Inc.” proved it. New songs from the “Plastic Beach” album rocked too – standouts included “Glitter Freeze” and the anti-war “White Flag” – but nothing compared to the reaction to the revamped version of “Clint Eastwood”: pure pandemonium and joy.
Who needs pants when you’re Little Boots? That pesky Icelandic ash cloud that stranded several Coachella acts also kept the electropop singer’s garb stranded in the U.K., so she improvised on stage with a sequined top and what looked like black panties. Bonus points for the fog machine and trippy laser light show.
It was greatest hits night for reunited ‘90s outfit Pavement, from opening tune “Silence Kid” to “Stereo,” “Two States,” “Range Life,” “Cut Your Hair,” “Shady Lane,” and “Summer Babe.” There were multiple references to the band’s lengthy hiatus – guitarist Scott Kannberg said, “We’re Pavement, back from the dead” – but the sometimes grumpy crew seemed in sync and actually enjoying their time under the main stage’s Christmas light decorations. 
Sounding much livelier than when performing solo as Atlas Sound, Bradford Cox and Deerhunter churned out their peppy alt rock offerings to a receptive crowd. Cox was in good spirits despite the heat and having to, as he told the audience, wear a blazer in order to avoid a trip to the hospital. He gave a shoutout to Echo & the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch, who had played on the same stage the night before, and improvised during both technical difficulties and songs (during “It Never Stops,” Cox sang “It never stops, even in 90 degree heat.”)
Los Angeles-based DJ Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison) can generate a hell of a lot of a noise from his laptop. His industrial, layered mixes melted faces at Coachella’s Gobi Tent with deep, low beats that you’d feel in your gut before switching rhythms to something equally as obscure and mesmerizing. Flying Lotus melds all sorts of influences into his glitch-hop grooves, from world beats to jazz to electronica, and on his forthcoming album “Cosmogramma,” the Low End Theory producer throws his cousin, sax player Ravi Coltrane, and Thom Yorke into the mix.
Band reunions are par for the course at Coachella and recently regrouped ‘80s rockers Faith No More embraced theirs in good humor, kicking off their “second coming” set with a cover of Peaches and Herb’s “Reunited.” Acknowledging the fact that the young crowd may not have been around during the band’s prime, red suited lead singer Mike Patton cracked, “I know we look like we’re 80 years old, but give us a f***ing break!” Songs included “We Care A Lot,” “Midlife Crisis,” a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Ben,” “Epic” and closer “Just a Man,” which set the scene for a surprise appearance by Danny DeVito.
Dead Weather singer Alison Mosshart is the anti Meg White. Whereas Meg is Jack White’s silent partner in the White Stripes, extroverted Alison is at the forefront of the Dead Weather, moving and gyrating to the band’s blues rock rhythms as if in a trace. With White primarily on drums, the Nashville-based outfit played a couple of covers, “Horehound” singles like “Cut Like a Buffalo,” “Treat Me Like Your Mother,” and lots of material off their upcoming “Sea of Cowards” album – “Blue Blood Blues,” “No Horse” and “Die By Drop.” The set’s highlight was most definitely “Will There Be Enough Water,” with Mossheart and White sharing the microphone in a sexy sexy way.
2 Many DJs. Too. Much. Fun. The Belgian mixmasters killed it during the Sahara Tent’s closing session with fat beats laid over samples of Sparks’ “Beat the Clock,” Flying Lizards’ “Money, (That’s What I Want),” Pink Floyd’s “Money” and dance floor favorite, “Zombie Nation.” The set kicked into super high gear with a remix of MGMT’s “Kids” — MGMT didn’t include the megahit in their earlier live performance – and 2ManyDJs even talked some trash by dedicating a song to those “DJs who play 20 minute songs” without changing the tune. Not the case here as samples of Paul Chambers’ “Yeah Techno” and Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” came as fast and furiously as the confettti that showered the dance floor at set’s end.
The XX’s eponymous 2009 album was one of the year’s best but the effort’s hushed tones and sweet harmonies did not translate during the trio’s first Coachella appearance. The Brits were no match for the constant hiss of the Outdoor Stage soundsystem or the goings-on around them. During their set — which began with “Intro” and included “Crystalized,” “VCR” and the crowd-pleasing “Shelter” – the band was upstaged by a fire on the main stage, a Jay-Z sighting (watching the band from the side stage) and a girl passing out next to us. The girl recovered after some Gatorade and air, and the XX will likely regain their footing as they play venues more suitable to their sound during upcoming shows in Chicago, New York and Baltimore.
