The Color Glass Condensate (CGC), describing the physics of the nonlinear gluonic interactions of QCD at high energy, provides a consistent first-principles framework to understand the initial conditions of heavy ion collisions. This talk reviews some aspects of the initial conditions at RHIC and discusses implications for LHC heavy ion phenomenology. The CGC provides a way compute bulk particle production and understand recent experimental observations of long range rapidity correlations in terms of the classical glasma field in the early stages of the collision.
