Coachella 2008: Why You Need to be There

portishead1.jpgEnough Jack Johnson jokes already, the whining about the headliners, and the 107 degree heat, Coachella is one of the best things that has ever happened to Southern California. I'm not going to lie. When I first saw the official announcement I was B-U-M-M-E-D. Most of the lineup is comprised of relatively unknown indie bands and Deejays that have yet to make a ripple in anyone's universe, but that doesn't mean you won't discover your next favorite band.
