It's that time of year again! Coachella has revealed it's anticipated 2019 lineup and while some are screaming in delight, others aren't quite as thrilled. One thing everyone can agree on though is that these parody lineups is where it's at. Who are you most excited to see? For us, it's a 3-way tie between 'Blake Lively's Suits', 'Protozoa', and 'Lindsay Lohan (Herbie Fully Loaded)'.
If you're not familiar with "flower crowns", they're usually worn by hippies or brides. Most recently though, they've made an appearance at music festivals like Coachella.
While dogs aren't usually allowed at music festivals, if they were, you'd find all of these pups waiting in line to meet their favorite band.

Last Friday night at Coachella, the Black Keys brought John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival onstage to play "The Weight" in memory of the recent death of The Band drummer Levon Helm. Everyone who wasn't at Coachella suddenly became 100 percent more regretful that they couldn't make it.

Or, to be more exact, Coachella is now on a boat. After the massive success of its two-weekend format this summer, the popular music festival is expanding to two different cruise ship tours this December: a three-day trip around the Bahamas and a four-day trip around Jamaica. Each cruise's lineup features the headliners Pulp and Hot Chip, DJ sets by Girl Talk and James Murphy (formerly of LCD Soundsystem), hip-hop mainstays El-P and Killer Mike, indie rock favorites Sleigh Bells and Black Lips, and more.
As exciting as it might sound, it's gonna cost ya: 500 bucks per person if you don't mind squeezing into a four-person cabin (and that's the cheapest option). But the cost of admission includes lodging, food (but not the alcohol) and the chance to be on a pretty big boat. The cruise ship even hosts a half-acre lawn of grass, just in case you miss the sweet feel of the earth. Heck, who needs college tuition anyway?

"Reanimated corpse" isn't entirely accurate. It's actually a hologram of the late, great West-coast rapper, which gave a surprise performance to finish off the first week of Coachella 2012. This proves that (a) industry executives can own your body as well as your soul, and (b) '90s nostalgia has gotten WAY out of hand.

When a holographic version of Tupac performed live at Coachella, the stage wizardry proved a little too realistic for some. Just wait until they do the same for Biggie.

Coachella and SXSW are long since over, and Bonnaroo ended last weekend, but you can pine for '90s alt-rock with Awesome Gay Go-Getting Abe Froman and his Wayfarers at Lollapalooza!
