SEND US PHOTOS OF YOUR COACHELLA CRUSH!!!
We’re working on a special project and are collecting photos taken at Coachella of someone you crushed on. Maybe it’s your BF/GF/wife/husband.

Or maybe it’s the person you just saw on the field but didn’t have the nerve to say anything.

I suppose I should preface all of this by admitting – I am emo for The Walkmen. By now, I’ve seen them play in every possible scenario: Large Los Angeles concert hall, cramped Austin 6th street bar, alongside the Queen Mary at the All Tomorrows Parties festival, at an all night warehouse rave somewhere in the plains of Texas, various festivals and smoky clubs.

How many times in one week can a guestlist go bad. That what we URB editors were asking our selves as night after night, our intrepid interns headed out to one of Peanut Butter Wolf’s much lauded 888 events around Los Angeles. Like clockwork, the text would appear, ‘Can’t get in. Can you help?’ and calls would go out to our Stones Throw peeps on site to recify the situation. Of course, if you follow this blog, you know that we made it inside each and every time—and the fact that PBW was able to draw round the block lines seven out of seven nights is a good signal to the overall health of underground hip-hop in LA, even if it can exasperate the velvet rope.
It was with this in mind that we venutred out to the …
It’s clear that Noel Gallagher’s criticisms were lingering somewhere in the back of Shawn Carter’s mind as he first emerged from the backstage shadows.

With a smirk creeping over his face, a guitar-wielding Master of Ceremonies looked slightly more validated as fans embraced his playful reinterpretation.
“I just got one thing to say,” came Jiggaman’s roar, before bounding towards his “99 Problems.” Clad in a black hoodie, complimenting scarf and thick-rimmed sunglasses, there was no questioning Jay’s comfort as the track’s distinctive guitar growls raised the energy of both Hova and every ticket holder. “I’m like ‘fuck critics,’ you can kiss my whole asshole,” Jay snarled, bobbing and weaving around the stage as Memphis Bleek played …
