I still feel pretty new to San Francisco and sometimes long for the days back in SoCal when my friends and I would hop in the car and shimmy up the 405 from Orange County to Los Angeles to see a show… it felt like this was on a bi-weekly basis. And I’m not complaining, but since I’ve moved here, I feel like fun live music is more difficult to find, but I have only myself to blame for this. read more »
Last fall I BARTed over to the Fox Theater in Oakland to see the oh-so-talented and amazing The xx. My friend Meg and I were fortunate to catch the opening band – Warpaint, a mellow all-girl band with really pretty harmonious voices and expert guitar riffs – with surprise screaming rock out moments here and there. We were instantly in love. Fast forward to around 6 months later, and we’re watching them headline a sold out show at The Independent in San Francisco. I don’t know them personally, but I felt so fucking proud of them. read more »
I hope you all had a happy hump day. Today was so weird! I always tend to have my most vivid dreams right before waking up in the morning, and this morning’s dream seemed so real that I woke up really confused. The rest of the day sped by even though I felt like I didn’t accomplish much… even though I accomplished everything I planned on accomplishing. Are you confused yet? Good. Here’s to the week almost being over!
In other news, if you haven’t heard already, She & Him released a video for their song Don’t Look Back today, which is totally NOT weird. Watch it, watch it! So pretty, and I really need to learn that dance.
I seemed to have caught “that thing going around.” There always seems to be something going around and normally I’m pretty good at dodging it. Not this time! Friggin. Anyway, having the day “off” I finally had time to download and listen to the new Girl Talk album, All Day. Go download it ASAP! It will brighten your tissue and phlegm-filled day… at least, it brightened mine. Also, I heard a rumor from a bearded bird that he will be playing at the Fox Theater in March. I can’t wait to get sweaty and have the time of my life a second time!
I recently acquired the new Books album, The Way Out. It’s pretty fantastic and you should give it a listen. But because I feel like it, I’m sharing my favorite song from their album The Lemon of Pink. Ladies and gents, I give you Tokyo. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
