Coachella 2012 – Line Up Announced
Looks like the folks over at Coachella have announced the line up for their annual pseudo-hippie, faux-hipster, grasping at the straws of youth, 3-day music event in the desert.

Tyler Ramsey – The Valley Wind

D’Angelo Covers Soundgarden – “Black Hole Sun”
D’Angelo’s career seems like it has long been surrounded with wierd semi who-gives-a-shit rumors. Now rumor has it that he is readying a new album.
