12 Exciting Things That Happened At Coachella Over The Weekend
They weren't all music related.
Hey, so Coachella was on this past weekend. Musicians performed, people danced, and Danny DeVito live tweeted the whole thing by mentioning every band’s name and then just writing “great” after it. Since Coachella is ridiculously huge, they’ll do it all again next weekend. In the meantime, though, let’s have a quick catch-up on everything that just went down… based on celebrity tweets, paparazzi pics, and shaky fan videos.
1. Earl Sweatshirt stalked Solange.
2. The Postal Service performed that song you loved so much when you were a bullied teenager.
3. Biting satire from Angel from Buffy.
4. The Wu-Tang Clan braved a dust-storm.
The legendary gang (plus Redman!) took to the Coachella stage to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal album, Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers (you know, that album you pretended to like when you were 11 even though you really preferred Bone Thugs’ E.1999 Eternal). “We didn’t expect a motherfuckin’ sandstorm,” said RZA about the weather conditions on the day, so that might explain why it sounds like the dude who filmed this is dropping a microphone every few seconds.
5. R.Kelly “toot-toot” and “beep-beep” with Phoenix.
This was obviously the weekend’s best and most unexpected moment. There’s no better way to open a show than with Kells’ classic ‘Bump ‘n’ Grind’ salvo, “My mind’s telling me noooooooooooo! But my body, my body’s telling me yeeeeeahahhhheesss!” Everyone should just start every concert with that. The way the guitars from the French band’s ‘1901’ fit so snugly with the R&B star’s ‘Ignition (Remix)’ was pretty cool, too.
6. Ashley Benson from Spring Breakers scored a photo with Tegan & Sara.
7. Aziz Ansari’s crew of racial outsiders is the best.
8. Bono turned into Paul Simon or that kid from Vampire Weekend.
The U2 frontman and fixer of the world made a surprise appearance at the festival after being pulled up on stage by Congolese artist, Baloji. Then he just danced awkwardly in the front row for a few more minutes.
9. Nerds still get excited by ‘Harlem Shake’.
10. Clint Eastwood wore high pants. (Relax, that young girl is just his daughter).
11. Grandmaster B pointed at someone.
12. Tame Impala met their new superfan, Danny DeVito.
