15

All the music we heard this weekend, compiled into a simultaneously brief and lengthy list.
  1. Haim | I saw them last year at ACL and liked them more.
  2. Jagwar Ma | They've got a great sound.
  3. Kate Nash | I've seen her before, she's definitely changed her sound/look/band and I'm not as much a fan.
  4. Aloe Blacc | Yeee-hah!
  5. Neko Case | The second time I've seen her perform, this was an awesome set.
  6. Broken Bells | James Mercer can do no wrong. Ah-mazing.
  7. Replacements | Shockingly sloppy, including forgotten lyrics, and yet, totally charming.
  8. Foxygen | Fuck yeah!
  9. Ty Segall | Rocked the fucking face off of the Outdoor stage.
  10. Churches | Meh.
  11. Temples | I liked them, the mister did not.
  12. Bombay Bicycle Club | So. Good. I didn't much like them before Coachella, but I was wrong. 
  13. Mr. Julian Casablancas | Ohai. Can't go wrong there...
  14. Capital Cities | I don't like them on the radio but they make a great live show.
  15. Future Islands | Phantom of the Opera meets Gwar. I'm not even kidding, and we loved every minute of them. 
  16. RL Grime | One of the best DJ's of the weekend. The energy was palpable.
  17. Pixies | Disappointing.
  18. Lorde | Wow, wow, wow. Wow.
  19. Queens of the Stone Age | FTW!!! Third time's the charm - they rocked the main stage like no one's business.
  20. Pharrell Williams | Such a great sound, too bad it was SO packed we couldn't even see him.
  21. Frank Turner | A total surprise, we walked into his show because it was in a tent and shady and he was a lot of fun.
  22. Superchunk | Boo.
  23. Blood Orange | Dreamy.
  24. Neutral Milk Hotel | Double boo.
  25. Calvin Harris | Oh. My. God. I've never seen a crowd dance like that and it was fun to be right in the thick of it, which is not like me at all.
