ill see you on the dark side of the moon


and by dark side of the moon i mean not at coachella. the sickness in my gut is finally subsiding after reading the lineup for this year. i cant remember the last time i was this disappointed. jack fucking johnson. jack fucking johnson. i still cant believe that worthless piece of shit is headlining. coachella is the one thing i look forward to all year. from the moment the last day is over i start thinking about the lineup for the next year. its the only legitimate vacation i ever take and its become a tradition for me and my sister. when i showed her the lineup today the text i got in response was "... i kind of want to cry." that pretty much sums it up for me. today for me, was like waking up on christmas morning and running down stairs to open presents to find your mom fucking your dad with a strapon. with the curious george soundtrack on in the background. hopefully this will serve as inspiration to go to a different festival in some other part of the country/world this year, but its real fucking hard to shake this disappointment. if they drop the price to match the quality of music i might go, but not for anything remotely close to two hundred dollars. as my friend paul pointed out, at least i live in LA where i can see all the bands i want and in more intimate venues. theres a lot of truth to that, but i still feel like someone ran over my puppy. with the curious george soundtrack blaring from their car. im hoping that after a couple of days ill reach a level of acceptance and find myself excited about some of the bands and maybe my mood and feeling will change, but until then im just going to eat mexican food and drink until i black out.

words cannot describe the bottom-feeding mediocrity that is jack johnson. i've physically destroyed people's jj cd's before. yeah, they are mad at 1st, but their lives improve 10-fold immediately after destruction and they generally thank me later.

jack fucking johnson coachella? get real..

yeah, i left him a few comments on myspace politely asking him to not play coachella/kill himself/die in a fire. i even rechecked the coachella poster for the first couple of days hoping it was a joke. then i find out today it was 80 bucks more expensive for presale than last year. ftw.
