I am so incredibly jealous of everyone who went to the Coachella music festival this past weekend.  The lineup was insane- David Bowie, Beirut, Morrissey, Silversun Pickups, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Lykke Li, Okkervil River, Paul McCartney, Girl Talk, White Lies, The Cure... the list goes on and on.
