EVDO hardly works here and the blueroom internet is usually busted, thus updating is virtually impossible. I’ll be back in L.A. tomorrow, so expect a big update then.
For now, I’ll say Daft Punk has stolen the show at this point. Jame Lidell is wailing away right now. I caught the first half of his show. […]

It took forever, but we’re finally in. The crowds are the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. This is truly consumerism in its absolute most disgusting form. There are so many people currently standing in front of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, that they look like tiny specks. And given the lines getting in, I’ve […]

We’re currently in the car, sitting in line to park. There seem to be roughly a bazillion people in the desert right now. Indio is hot. Painfully so even, for an amphibious New Orleanian like myself.

We’re trying to make it in time for Animal Collective, but that goal is seeming rather bleak at the […]

Greetings all! As you probably noticed, I have been largerly absent in the last two weeks. Thanks to Brian who is responsible for filling the void while I was gone.
The reason for my abscence was that school was wrapping up and I was completely absorbed by papers and finals and teachers being bastards. But […]

August 08 - Sacramento, CA @ Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
August 09 - Bend, OR @ Les Schwab Amphitheater

If you’re in the Seattle area on Friday, you should go check out this promo show that The Helio Sequence is doing Redefine Magazine It’s at The Paradox Theatre (which is now in Ballard if you didn’t know) and doors open at 8:00 pm. Cost: $10.
Supporting bands are Crystal Skulls and Silversun Pickups. […]

To kick off their summer-long world tour, Massive Attack played The Paramount Theatre last night in Seattle. Following two more dates in the United States (Denver and Coachella, respectively), the entourage of trip-hop pioneers jump the pond and play the Mediterranean, Europe and Asia.

For those who have never seen the band live it might seem […]

Karen O has stage presence but lacks personability. The absence of any niceness on stage is most of her presence, though. She’s not there to be thankful that you’re there to see her and her band play. She’s not there to be your friend. She’s on stage to howl into the mic and melt […]

Those who praise The Books’ studio albums have really only experienced half of what the duo of Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong have to offer. That the band originally had no intentions of touring is the great irony of their live performance; a live perormance which is more engaging and compelling than anything else […]

The US mini-tour TOOL will be performing throughout May sold out Saturday in record time. Each of the dates have been bought out entirely. Of course, since TOOL fans are notoriously anxious panick ensued, which apparently hit the band with a barrage of emails. In response, Maynard released this statement:

Many people are complaining about the […]
