While the crowd seemed a bit thinner than years past, 2009's Coachella Valley Music Festival totally delivered for those of us who made it out for the music and merriment. As always, there was something for everyone... and more likely too much for everyone with all the tragically overlapping sets. Here's a look at our Coachella weekend in a nutshell...

Friday kicked things off pretty big with names like M Ward, Girl Talk, Leonard Cohen, Silversun Pickups and Paul McCartney.

Yeah, that's Sir Paul McCartney, playing all the hits... Blackbird, Let It Be, Hey Jude, Day In The Life... even Give Peace A Chance and a ukulele version of Something!

And that was Friday. More on the rest of the weekend coming soon!
