Ingrid Michaelson at El Rey

June 11, 2008 – 10:12 pm

Hey, just wanted to say I’m listening to Ingrid Michaelson for the first time right now. Some of it’s very Grey’s Anatomy, and some of it’s pretty terrific. Some of it is actually both. See for yourself. She’s coming to El Rey on June 24th.

Rush in L.A.

May 12, 2008 – 1:13 am

Hey, I actually did go see Rush downtown last week. I would have written about it here, but new job, a DJ gig and the nascent apartment hunt made me fall behind over at metblogs. So here’s the link. From Portishead (coachella) to Young MC (wedding) to Rush, it’s been a helluva nine days.

Coachella Kicks Off

April 26, 2008 – 11:23 am

The desert is cooler than last year, and the crowds thinner, which actually makes for a more relaxing festival. I’m too tired to get into detail. I just finished a post for metblogs, however, so go check that out. Link here.

Coachella Wrap Up

May 3, 2007 – 10:52 am

I return from the desert very early Monday morning. The next day I work. And then the day after that, I work. At last, Wednesday, I get to crash. And crash, I do. I completely shut down for the day, dehydrated, lethargic, cranky. It’s not until today that I’m able to sort through the last [...]

Coachella Day 2

April 29, 2007 – 11:53 am

The temps get higher, the music gets louder. Today there’s more for me to check out, but most of what I really want to see is in the heat of the day. So I stock up on water and just deal with it.
There are some more pics on the Flickr set.
And I put up three [...]

No, I’m not blogging yet. But I guess I am, though only to show you a few of the sights and sounds of Coachella 2007.
Here’s a link to the Flickr set.
Here’s a link to my movie page, with some nifty little clips of Faithless, Benny Benassi and the “Do Lab.”
More to come.

Sufjan Stevens at the Wiltern

October 16, 2006 – 1:13 pm

“I’m the majesty songbird and this is the butterfly brigade,” says Sufjan Stevens as he steps onto the stage. They’re all wearing wings, gossamer, colorful and engineered (at least in Sufjan’s case) to beat slowly as he rocks back and forth on stage.
The Sufjan Stevens show at the Wiltern last week (yes, I’ve been too [...]
