    Who knew that at the intersection of indie rock and yoga lived such incredibly thin-skinned people?* "Never make fun of my thing! Make fun of someone else's thing! I like this! It's fun! You can't dislike indie rock! That lady is NICE! Brooklyn! Ganesh IS fresh!"

    Shake it off. If you like it, you like it. If you went and enjoyed, fantastic. Sometimes people make fun of things that you like. Sometimes YOU make fun of things other people like. Some guys have all the luck. Some guys have all the pain. And the world keeps spinning.

    * Other than everyone that doesn't live there and anyone I've dragged to my yoga class in Williamsburg.

    Uh, that's a pretty good line-up - seems like they were trying to accomplish something worthwhile. I would leave these guys alone and start preparing the vitriol reserves for Burning Man.

    So, not many yoga practitioners on Gawker, then?

    I would so have gone to this festival, less so for the music than for the yoga teaches. I admit the music bill is a little.. unexpected, I've been going to yoga classes since 1997 and hardly any instructor ever plays anything but techno-ed up ragas. Exception: My beloved Vinnie Marino at LA Yoga Works, he cranks up the Stones and Grace Slick, full-blast.. Oh Vinnie, how I miss you!

    This is the post-internet music economy. It's not about album sales anymore. It's about how many festivals geared toward niches of ridiculous white people with extra money you can book.

    Not to be too servicey, but I have the back story on this one. Schuyler Grant from Kula Yoga (beloved scary-hard downtown yoga studio) is married to Jeff Krasno who owns a small indie label. Thus: the yoga/indie rock festival was born.

    I would normally snark hard on this, but Schuyler and Jeff are amazing, cool people so: there you have it. I've gone soft.

    @BookishLookish: Sharon Jones lights the house on fire, Andrew Bird hoses it down. Perfect combo! Gillian Welch drones, Broken Social Scene bores--in fact they bored me something fierce at SXSW back in 2004. Where's Regina Spektor on this bill?

    Wow, have the states looked into this? Because it's one tenth the price of putting someone on welfare and providing social services (avg $30,000 per person, all-in). And FAR less than the cost of keeping someone in a minimum-security prison.

    I've never understood why they teach boxing in prison; they should teach yoga. I mean, I'm just trying to be practical here from the fascist point of view.
