For those about to rock

This next week shall be about das rocken.

First:

Awesome.

I had been considering getting a Wii since I seem to have this compulsion to own every Nintendo system, barring the Virtual Boy and the Game Boy Micro, but so far there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot that interests me. I even had a hot tip on when and where Wiis would be available (my insider source being The Internet) but then I realized that pretending to play guitar on my roommate’s Xbox would be a guaranteed return on investment versus the risky venture of the Wii, re: ratio of dollars spent to joy obtained. Them’s the breaks.

Second:

Coachella cometh on Friday. It’s my first music festival and it will be a good one. If LCD Soundsystem doesn’t tear the place down with waves of sheer greatness, I’ll be surprised. It will be a treat to see the Decemberists in a venue more suited to them (which would be anywhere other than the only place I’ve seen them). The Comedians of Comedy, while not being a band, will be great to see. Also many others. Can’t wait.
