Childish Gambino’s tour might be on hold due to a fractured foot but “Eat Your Vegetables” says he’s still hard at work.  Dropping anti-similes* than an entire Lil Wayne album, Glover takes a stab at hip-hop’s current wave of monotone, stoned out style and pulls it off with a tad more wit.  I am a professed fan of  Childish Gambino but I have to admit I probably wouldn’t have posted this song if it weren’t for the Donkey Kong Country water level sampling.

Childish Gambino – “Eat Your Vegetables”

I will be attending my first Coachella ever this year.  In other firsts, the festival is being held over back to back weekends (April 13-15 and 20-22) with identical lineups.  The three night headliners are The Black Keys, Radiohead, and Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg and as much fun as those sound I’m more excited about all the small font bands (see full poster after the jump).  To start it off two legendary post-hardcore bands, At The Drive-In and Refused, reunite just in time.  Then there’s obviously M83, Explosions in the Sky, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, araabMUZIK, Childish Gambino…the list goes on.  Coachella has a knack for putting together a cohesive weekend of music spanning genres from rock to hip-hop to electronic to folk.  Listen to the Coachella Playlist below to get hyped if you’re attending and jealous if you’re not.
