Live Music Q2 2012

Live musical highlight these past three months was Coachella. Despite a cold and rainy first day, there were plenty of fine sets, topped by Radiohead (honorable mentions to Girl Talk, DJ Shadow, and Explosions in the Sky). And no, I didn't bother staying for the hologram Tupac.

As usual, favorites in bold.
  • M. Ward
  • Coachella (EMA, Frank Ocean, Mazzy Star, Explosions in the Sky, The Black Angels, M. Ward, tUnE-yArDs, Laura Marling, Andrew Bird, Squeeze, Feist, Bon Iver, Radiohead, Wild Flag, The Weeknd, Girl Talk, DJ Shadow)
  • Suzanne Vega and Duncan Sheik
  • Godspeed! You Black Emperor
  • St. Vincent, tUnE-yArDs
  • SF Symphony (Dvorak's Symphony No. 7)
