[Dynagroove] MIA: She got the beats to make you bang bang bang

[Ben Annand]

Agreed.  MIA was definitlely a standout performance at Coachella.  Other 
highlights were DJ Krush and Roni Size.  I only went on Sunday but those 
were the best of what I saw.  Diplo was pretty forgettable in my opinion 
though, as was Ben Watt.  Miss Kittin was pretty fun, a little cheesy but 
fun nonetheless.  It was my first time at Coachella and I'm not sure it is 
worth the money for me personally to go back, but I did think the overall 
production and vibe of the event were quite good...
