Buraka Som Sistema were by several leagues the best discovery of this year's Coachella; heard so many people throughout the weekend rave about their set:



My Bloody Valentine were naturally sublime, shattering the eardrums of even the most hardy individual...:



...but not even they could top the might of DAN MOTHERFUCKING DEACON in San Francisco's beautiful Great American Music Hall the following week:

More reviews and suchlike this weekend. Well, maybe. If I can be arsed.
