Record Store Day/ Farmers Market/ Coachella Weekend 2 Day 2

It's Record Store Day! Go to your nearest Record Store and appreciate it. Buy a record. Vinyl is awesome and some stores are even offering a free record (used) and giving away donuts.

Let's talk about yesterday. For any #skeezies that have not been to The Grove, it's in the heart of LA. You can shop, eat, or watch a movie there. The Farmers Market which has been around since the early 1930s (way before the developer of The Grove was even born) is a staple of LA and is a brisk walk away. You can find just about anything you crave inside the Farmers Market. It's been awhile since #LAskeez has been to New Orleans but you can't always explain a craving. Luckily the Farmers Market has Cajun food! 

Gumbo, alligator strips, hush puppies--they have it. #LAskeez stuck to a classic and went with a shrimp po boy. It wasn't the best. But it did satisfy the craving and is considerably cheaper than a trip out to New Orleans.

Coachella Weekend 1 Day 3

The desert winds were very intense yesterday. Hats were flying and the smart folks were wearing swimming goggles to protect their eyes from the dust and a handkerchiefs around their noses and mouth to prevent from breathing the mixture of cow manure, dirt, and guck. 

The wind even blew in some extra talent. Beyoncé made a guest appearance and performed with her sister Solange. Aren't you glad I recommended Solange yesterday? Aaand Gwen Stefani came out for a surprise performance with Pharrell!

Coachella Weekend 1 Day 2

Day 1 of the Coachella festival was successfully completed. 

Come here for the music. Stay here for that amazing desert sunset @ Coachella Day 1

A little of Los Angeles was taken to the desert and local restaurants such as Beer Belly and Mohawk Bend made it out to the desert! Such a delightful surprise.

#LAskeez had recommended The Knife last night and was quite surprised that they didn't play any of their hit songs and turned the set into a 1997 art class dance party. You win some you lose some. 

Skrillex was spotted by #LAskeez watching an amazing Bonobo performance.

By the way never stay at the Caliente Tropics Resort in Palm Springs. They have bed bugs and that's the last thing anyone wants to deal with after a long day at Coachella or ever for that matter. Anyway here's today's recommendations.

Top Ten Saturday Must See Bands (you will be spending a lot of time in the Gobi Tent):

1. Young & Sick 12-12:30 (Mojave)

2. The Internet 1:30-2:10 (Gobi)

3. Banks 3:45-4:20 (Gobi)

4. Holy Ghost 4:45-5:30 (Gobi)

5. Washed Out 5:50-6:40 (Gobi)

6. Lorde 7:55-8:45

7. Solange 8:25-9:10 (Gobi) 

8. Empire of the Sun 9:50-10:50 (Mojave)

9. Muse 11:30 (Coachella) 

10. Pet Shop Boys 11:35 (Mojave) 

Enjoy the festivities!
