Bjork @ Coachella: image cap from AT&T Blue Room

Day one of Coachella is over and I was able to catch some streaming performances yesterday evening[technically earlier this morning, EST] over at AT & T Blue Room. I caught a bit of The Arctic Monkeys' set, and then later on Sonic Youth. But the horns-a-plenty and tribal rhythms that dominated Bjork's set was deliriously awesome. I'm 99% sure now that I'll buy a ticket to day one[September 8] of Virgin Festival in Toronto where Bjork will be headlining.

The Factory Blog postedlinked to some videos on YouTube of Bjork's set.

Stereogum will be blogging live from Coachella all weekend, so keep refreshing his mainpage for all the action.

Greg Kot of The Chicago Tribune blogged Day one of Coachella.

Like me, Brooklyn Vegan stayed up to watch the stream of Bjork's set and he also has the set list. I remember watching the stream and at the end of the performance the camera zoomed in one fan holding a hastily written sign that said "Set List?". As if he'd get his hands on one, especially when he didn't seem to be anywhere near the stage. BV and I must be on the same wavelength because I also took an image capture of the performance[see above]. Brooklyn Vegan also posted a few photos of Scarlett Johansson singing backup during Jesus and Mary Chain's set during "Just Like Honey".

Check AT&T Blue Room's streaming schedule for the rest of the Coachella festival. And remember all times listed are Pacific Time, so for all you Eastern Standard Timers, just add 3 hours to the time. So Arcade Fire, 12:50 am EST it is. Who will you be watching?
