Can't make it out to the desert this weekend? No worries, AT&T's Blue Room broadcasts live streaming video from select performances at Coachella beginning at 3 p.m. today. So kick back with some brews, crank up the A/C and turn the speakers up to 11. Coachella streams via this link.

Read on to check out the Blueroom schedule, subject to change.

Note: LAist is in no way affiliated with AT&T, and in fact is just as subject to the overpriced and unreliable services they offer as their part in the telecom duopoly as everyone else. We also do not promote or encourage "illicit" recording of music/video, however, we do feel obliged to provide a brief guide to services and applications which may or may not enable one to record streaming audio from the Internets.

Windows: Direct Stream Recorder (free trial; $29.95 to buy)

Audio Mid Recorder ($29.95 to buy)

Mac: Audio Hijack Pro (free trial allows 10 minutes at a time.)

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
