The Monday Set: Lush – Minneapolis, MN – 5/10/96

Lush
First Avenue
Minneapolis, MN
5/10/96

This was the one and only time I saw Lush, but I wasn’t the one who made this recording. The absolute highlight of the show for me was getting to the club early (I think I had a comp. ticket, which was/is pretty common for First Ave. shows) and Miki was standing there playing the pinball machine that I always played. I went up to play after she was done, but she offered to play “Two Players.” One of my best moments of ’96.

Set List:
1. Intro
2. Heavenly Nobodies
3. Childcatcher
4. Lovelife
5. 500
6. Single Girl
7. Kiss Chase
8. De-Luxe
9. Light From A Dead Star
10. Undertow
11. Hypocrite
12. Runaway
13. For Love
14. Sweetness And Light
15. Ladykillers

The Monday Set: Shout Out Louds – Los Angeles – 5/23/2013

If you haven't heard them before, their music can be described as often bleakly wistful lyrics completely camouflaged by bright, sunny tunes (More...)

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...)

Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)

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...)

Thanks! I saw lush two times during Spooky. Miki was so nice: after the Paradiso-show in 1992 -which went not too wel (Emma even said: This is the worst gig of my life)- Miki came to us for autographs. She smiled and signed (I still have it): If at first you don’t succeed, love Miki
