PRAMG PJ has a lot of bad, forced bridges

was with you on your OP in the modern PJ context

but for other (better) bands, a lot of bridges have a lot to offer

saw a little of Blackpink's set at Coachella.

Cant really understand whats the appeal here. I guess its similar to going to see a broadway musical? the girls are super hot but the songs were awful and their performance was so fucking boring, imagine going to see Rosalia and then switching for this shit!

Isn’t that the point?

i guess? but thats the only thing they have?

I've been watching bits and pieces of the stream. Kali Uchis' sound was great. Her bass player is the real deal!

I like that in most pics I see of Phoebe Bridges she is smiling. She is pretty cute. I probs should listen to some of her tunes - I know they are 'ello certified.

<Edit> And I should probably learn her actual name as well...

She was fun at Lollapalooza this year, but i really missed a live band with her. Nice to see she went for that sound here.

Reading stuff from Frank Ocean's last night show, and it kinda sounds like a train wreck. Having seen Drake performance recently i can relate to that wtf feeling most of the guys in Coachella are saying.

At least it wasn't Kanye at Bonnaroo bad.

who Frank O? seems there were some good moments yeah. Drake was completely lost, cutting songs early, disappearing from stage...when he got into a song, you could see he is a good rapper but these guys cant really seem to bring his studio talent to the live setting.

From a few clips i saw of the Ocean show, when he actually played and sang it was great, but the guy appear one hour late and had to cut the show super early.

She's fucking cool as fuck and her music is pretty good most of the time, sometimes surprisingly good. Update us on how you feel about her shite.

Dang, people are fuming about Frank Ocean's performance. An hour late while all other stages were essentially shut down, zero stage presence, awkward mumbling between songs, a 10 minute DJ set that no one seemed to enjoy, and then he had to call it early due to curfew.

I wonder if he'll pull out of the second weekend, or if there will be a forced replacement. Sounds like he didn't want to be there.

yeah, he could totally bail from the second week.

Listened to "Stranger in the Alps" and "Punisher" yesterday during work. Dug some of it, zoned out on a lot though. Needs some more uptempo stuff sprinkled inbetween I think. Really loved I Know the End. Will continue on.

Man to be a producer around Ocean seems like a nightmare. Those guys...

A fucking ice rink and skaters? What ever happened to three chords and the truth?

annnd he's gone

yeah, saying he is injured.

What a letdown for those who bought a ticket just to see him.

I've never really listened through a Smashing Pumpkins record. Just threw on Gish and my plan is to have a Smashing Pumpkins-soundtracked work day today.

Loving tracks 1 through 3 of Gish so far.

Never? That's wild. Let us know how you get on.
