:: A political pig

Posted by Vanessa on April 30, 2008 | Permalink

I’ve been a fairly quiet corner this last week, and with good reason - I’ve been very busy indeed and had my lovely friend Fraser visiting. We also went to Coachella music festival, in Indio (and the desert). I especially loved The Teenagers, and Tegan and Sara. By Sunday we were all completely exhausted (wine + sunshine + patchy sleep = migraine), but stayed for a bit of Roger Waters’ set - during which he launched this floating pig above the crowd painted with anti-the-current-Government slogans. I know I should probably have been focusing on the message and not the medium, but I wonder how he got the pig to sail over the whole crowd? It seemed like it had been on strings which were then cut, but how could it be so cleverly operated without them?

Anyway, did any of you see any good bands this weekend?
