I was really excited to see CSS when they played last month at The Echo since I really like their debut album but one thing that I wasn’t expecting the “O-Town” for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs set. When listening to the CD, it sounds like it was written by a producer, but I wasn’t expecting their “live” show to be mostly pre-recorded with their singer and a few guitar parts being the only actual live aspects of the show. Even the drums were only there to supplement the recorded drum track. Plus they were shooting the video for “Alala” at that show, so that made the show that much more strange. All that said, people were eating it up and I still listen to the CD all the time. This song was recorded live at their show at The Echo here in Los Angeles.

Magnolia Electric Co. – Baton Rouge – 9/27/2006
The terrible news yesterday was of Jason Molina’s passing. Jason was the force behind the Songs: Ohia moniker (largely for his own solo work) and Magnolia Electric Co (which saw him working with a regular band). I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)
I saw CSS 8 months ago. Their performance was awesome!!
nice blog
Yeah, to be candid, I thought their record was incredible, but the pre-recorded performance pissed me off. I walked out. I don’t pay $$$$ to see bands to karaoke to their own material.
