John Beaver & Thomas Radman Coachella Mixes 2010 (MP3)

In 2003, I moved to Los Angeles mere months before the 2004 Coachella Festival. As the line-up was announced—Radiohead, Pixies, Kraftwerk, the excitement was palpable. Then one day a few weeks before the show, a package arrived at URB HQ. In the envelope was a a bunch of CDs labeled John Beaver Coachella DJ mix. Those CDs took me all the way out to Indio for the first time, and every year since, I wait for the Beaver mix (now Beaver and Radman) to carry me out to the desert. Download this double disc set and let it carry you as well.

Music For Men



'If there's a risk, I'll take it," the post-punk princess Beth Ditto proclaims on "8th Wonder." Sweeping up disco sounds and bringing them out of the safe havens of gay-friendly towns and niche genres to be backed by hardcore sensibilities might be considered "risky"'or gimmicky, rather'by some, but haters be damned. Gossip serves Music For Men to the world over as an assertion of their staying-power and broadband appeal.
