Generationals – Trust

Although Generationals debut record and debut Los Angeles performance didn't make my Top 10 last year, I really enjoyed both. They are back with their second release, a 4 track EP being lead by this ridiculously good track, "Trust." (More...)

The Monday Set: Beach Fossils – Los Angeles – 7/27/10

When Beach Fossils (who I constantly get mixed up with Beach House due to the similar "Beach" in the name) came through on their recent tour as one of the opening acts for Bear In Heaven, I made sure I had enough space on my drive to record their set just in case. (More...)

Alex Winston – Choice Notes (The Remixes)

Earlier this year I extolled the greatness of Alex Winston's track "Choice Notes". Since then, the minions of the interweb have caught on and I now have found 3 new remixes of the track. Though none of them come even close to the excellence of the original (More...)

Blonde Redhead: Bipolar (Live Video)

Last night I dreamt that I was interviewing Blonde Redhead. I think my restless night was based on guilt from not having purchased their new album "Penny Sparkle" which came out over two months ago. My project for the weekend is to track it down on vinyl so I can go back to enjoying guilt free nights of sleep. (More...)

Cansei de Ser Sexy: Fuckoff Is Not The Only Thing… (Live Video)

You hear about the sophomore slump with bands and their their debut record follow-up. I can't think of any band that it hit harder than CSS. Their self-titled debut did so well that it was re-released by Warner Brothers, but their follow-up Donkey generated absolutely zero buzz (More...)

The Smiths: Hand In Glove (Live Video)

It's Friday, and what better way to kick off the weekend than a half-nude Morrissey prancing around a Parisian stage back in '84. They played a handful of tracks from the yet to be released "Meat Is Murder" LP at this show (more...)

Party Of Helicopters: Pounding For Vipers (Live Video)

I saw bands play in a lot of strange places, but I never saw a band play in a boxing/wrestling ring. Party Of Helicopters had that opportunity at this gym in Bakersfield. From the looks of it, they didn't bust out any Mexican Wrestling moves from the top rope. (More...)

Belle & Sebastian: The Boy With The Arab Strap (Live Video)

Belle & Sebastian are playing a unique show this evening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. If you don't live in Los Angeles, you may find it strange that a cemetery is hosting Belle & Sebastian, but Hollywood Forever is probably the only cemetery that has a "Cultural Events" section listed on their website.

Swans: The Man With The Silver Tongue (Live Video)

Recently reformed Swans kicked off their tour a couple of days ago on the east coast. Unfortunately for me, there are no plans to visit Los Angeles any time soon. I caught them on tour for The Great Annihilator and it was one of the most amazing shows I saw in the '90s. (More...)

Eux Autres – Go Dancing

The brother and sister team of Eux Autres are back with a brand new record coming out at the end of November. They have added a bassist and drummer to the lineup but still have managed to keep the same '60s pop sound that first caught my ear. (More...)
