This Airplane Has a Fireplace.

January 29, 2013 at 4:37 PM | by | Comments (0)

Just as we were thinking that private bedrooms in a Boeing 747-8 was the epitome of jet set awesomeness, the masters of cool from decades ago put us in check. We're talking about the bands of the 1970s who took private jet travel to (literal) new heights, adding shag carpeting, love lounges and—umm—faux fireplaces to their airplane interiors.

Flavorwire recently featured 17 musicians and their private jets, but we couldn't help focusing in on Led Zeppelin. Who wants to bet that smoking was allowed onboard, even if the fireplace was just for show?

If You Ever Thought Sharing a Private 777 with a Pop Star Was a Good Idea...

November 26, 2012 at 2:37 PM | by | Comments (0)

It seemed like a good idea at the time—take a Boeing 777 to 7 gigs over 7 days and bring a bunch of journalists along to cover it all—but it turns out Rihanna's Unapologetic tour had a lot to apologize for in the end.

Before embarking on the private Delta 777, Rihanna told the 150 passengers, "Ya'll gon' either enjoy it or fucking hate me!" and, unfortunately, for most it's now the latter.

The tour kicked off on Nov. 14 in Mexico City, followed by stops in Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, London, and finally NYC. Things got off to a strong start with Rihanna granting interviews, pouring champagne and playing her new album, but it was all downhill from there.

Wish You Were Here: The St Endellion Festival of Music

July 30, 2012 at 3:37 PM | by | Comments (0)

Perched on a hill, stuck out on Britain's most southwesterly peninsula, in plain sight of Arthur's fortress island Tintagel, you find the tiny Cornish church of St Endelienta, home — for three weeks a year — to the St Endellion festivals of music at eastertime and in the summer.

It's our fifth year returning to this idyllic, windswept hamlet with a couple hundred musical co-conspirators — all of whom pay their way to come down to Cornwall to play or sing for the love of it — and we can't imagine life without the festivals. One of us calls Endellion his "musical centre of gravity", and every particle (and nearly every holiday cottage) for miles around is swept up into a maelstrom of musicmaking.

Coachella Jumps the Shark, Lands on a Cruise Ship

July 18, 2012 at 10:20 AM | by | Comments (0)

Whoa. Okay it's official. The live music festival Coachella has jumped the shark so hard it's landed in the deep end of the ocean.

Just yesterday, Coachella promoters Goldenvoice announced that they'd be packing up the popular desert-held music event and adding some water—by theming two cruises after it. The S.S. Coachella will set sail for two consecutive weekends during the notoriously slow weeks of the year for cruising—those right before the Christmas holiday. Brilliant timing if you're a cruise line looking to make a buck, horrible timing for attendees, who will likely have to chose between taking work time off for S.S. Coachella or heading home for the holidays.

And it won't be cheap; no camping or crashing on a stranger's couch possible on this ship. The 2,886-guest Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Silhouette is all staterooms and suites, with packages starting from $500 per person and maxing out around $2,000 per person (of their published prices, "email to inquire" for pricier suites). Remember those amounts do not include booze, soda, taxes & gratuities, shore excursions or travel to and from Fort Lauderdale.
