[Editor's note: When we heard that one of our favorite bands, Titus Andronicus, was playing at Coachella, we knew had to have guitarist/violinist Amy Klein, an accomplished and original writer and musician, cover it for us. We asked her to write about the mega-festival from a performer's perspective and sent her a copy of David Foster Wallace's famous essay "Ticket to the Fair" (PDF). The essay she gave us recalls Wallace in the best way possible: Honest, reflective, intelligent, and unsparingly critical, Klein chronicles everything from the jaw-droppingly exploitative moments when she realizes she's been trapped into marketing a product to the transcendence she feels on stage and watching heroes like Lauryn Hill from the crowd.
