Blog-achella '07 - Rufus Wainwright (Fri.) / Gillian Welch (Fri.)
I hope you're wearing clean underwear today, because Coachella is about to rock your pants off!!!
Okay, not really.
Who he is: Sensitive Canadian-American singer/songwriter... so that means he gets both a hyphen and a slash, which is a lot of damn punctuation.
What he sounds like: I would like to see the Canadian side come out more, and hear beautiful odes he has penned to snowshoes, Gordie Howe and the city of Moose Jaw, but alas, 'tis not to be.
What I think: He qualifies for both Canuck-achella AND MellowChella, so how's about that! Bonus points for being a white guy named Rufus.
----------------------
Who she is: Folk singer gal from Nashville. Plays a mean banjo. Needs better publicity photos.
What she sounds like: Makes our boy Rufus sound like Megadeth.
What I think: Very nice voice, but seriously... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... not that I have anything against quiet, mellow music, but seriously, MellowChella is just out of control. I'm pretty sure you could go the entire weekend without seeing an act capable of getting your heart rate over 80. Unless you're fat. 'Cuz then the heat and all the walking will make your heart explode. You ever seen a fat person at Coachella? Me neither.
Tomorrow, we finish!
