Kevin Drew - The King of Romance?

Since it is Valentine’s Day on Thursday I thought I would blog about something that has to do with love and romance. I had recently been shown these two music videos by Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene and I have to say that they are some of the most romantic videos I have seen in a while. I never knew he was such a romantic. He is also really into the whole slow motion thing. I guess it’s a metaphor or something for how time slows down when you’re in love. Excuse me…I think I just threw up a little.

Anyways, the first video is for “Lover’s Spit,” which Kevin is known for performing live with his girlfriend Leslie Feist. I am not sure if it is actually her in the video, but I sure she wouldn’t let him make out with another girl like that. I will warn you that there is quite a bit of making out involved in the video, so be wary of the “lover’s spit.” There is quite a bit of it.

The second video is called “Pitter Patter Goes My Heart.” After watching this video I wanted to go to the beach and bask in the waves with my boyfriend and makeout, and I am sure that you will feel the same.

Cochella - Indio, California April 25-27 2008

Now this is a festival that I have not gone to or will be going to anytime soon. I would love to go to the festival this year, but I just don’t think it’s going happen. Anyways, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a three-day outdoor festival in Indio, California. If you are planning on checking out the festival be prepared for some nice desert weather. Temperatures can heat up to 100F. The festival involves pretty much any kind of music you could want. There is something for everybody. There are five stages that have live music going continuously throughout the day. I won’t go into the history of the festival because it is long and tedious to write about.Check it out on Wikipedia.

So here are some of the major acts that will be playing at Coachella 2008:

Friday April 25th

Saturday April 26th

Sunday April 27th

It’s not even the full line-up, but could you just look at it! There are so many good bands playing, it’s insane! For a complete line-up check out http://www.coachella.com/

I didn’t even know the Verve was back together. I would love to see the Breeders live, just to see Kim Deal kick some ass! Also M.I.A. and Justice two of the greatest new artists out there. And who wouldn’t want to see Roger Waters live?

I am very jealous of anyone that gets to go. If you are going let me know or if you have ever been to a Coachella festival in the past tell me how it went.

Cheers!
