Happiness makes me a modern girl

So once again I braved the hot desert sun and made my way to Coachella this year. This year was a little different than other years, as I couldn't convince anyone else to go, so I went by myself, which in many ways was better and worse than past experiences.

I saw a lot of bands, generally staying for around 15-20 minutes of the 45 minute sets, although I did stick around for full sets of bands that I really dig. I also picked up a very cool Neighborhoodies hoodie which has the chorus of my favorite Mission of Burma song, which looks really sweet.

To save all of us time, instead of reviewing all the bands I saw at length, I thought I'd do a one word review for each band I saw. Enjoy.
