Yahoo! LAUNCH - News: Radiohead, Pixies, Cure & Flaming Lips Rock Coachella Fest

Yahoo! LAUNCH - News: Radiohead, Pixies, Cure & Flaming Lips Rock Coachella Fest: "The glorious return of reunited alt-rock legends the Pixies, Thom Yorke's triumph over a severe throat infection (which had almost led to the cancellation of Radiohead's Saturday headlining appearance), Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne's attempt to crowd-surf inside a giant plastic beachball, and a two-hour, festival-closing set of greatest hits by the Cure were just some of the highlights of the fifth annual Coachella Music & Arts Festival, held this past weekend in Indio, California. Not even the punishing, 106-degree desert heat, which could have made Coachella a true endurance test for even the most enthusiastic music fan, was enough to stop more than 100,000 people from flocking to this year's festival of nearly 90 alternative, hip-hop, and electronic artists. In fact, attendance was actually up 30,000 from last year, making the 2004 Coachella the most successful yet."

best review i have seen so far!!! spot on!!!
