Thursday things: ► My Morning Jacket swings back through L.A. behind its Grammy-nominated 2011 release "Circuital," holding forth at the Gibson Amphitheatre with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings opening. That's Jim James, above, at MMJ's show in August, 2010, at the Greek. ► Iggy and the Stooges play the Palladium in a show that was originally scheduled for September but was postponed after the 64-year-old rocker broke his left foot while on tour in Europe. Iggy's live DVD "Raw Power Live: In the Hands of the Fans," a concert [...]
If you're battling the crowds today and of a mind to give the gift of music, you're probably already aware that it's Back to Black Friday, brought to you by the folks behind spring's annual Record Store Day . (And if you're like us, you're patronizing your local, independent stores.) There are a slew of special releases out in conjunction with Back to Black Friday, many of them vinyl odds 'n sods geared to superfans and obsessives, but others — like the 7-inch singles sets from the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Doors and [...]
ich habe es mir schon lange bereit gestellt, das debut album "last smoke before the snowstorm" drängt sich vor allem über die singles auf, nicht zuletzt durch die mittlerweile dritte namens "shine", für die es ebenfalls ein video zur schau zu tragen gibt: benjamin francis leftwich : benjamin francis leftwich - shine by dirty hit hinter dem provokanten namen verbirgt sich eine junge truppe aus hamburg, bestehend aus romeo (gitarre), tim (drums) und nico (gesang), [...]
For more than 20 years, the Jigsaw Seen has been making music on its own terms in Los Angeles, where "what's happening" fluctuates more radically than the stock market. The two-man core of the group, singer Dennis Davison and guitarist Jonathan Lea, has painstakingly crafted some of the most viscerally and intellectually stimulating material since [...]
![album review: Jigsaw Seen – Banana Foster [2010]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2856260_lg.jpg)
Jigsaw Seen – Banana Foster : I might be the wrong person to review this, but it was in my inbox this weekend, so here goes. Banana Foster is Jigsaw Seen's latest album of light psychedelia with a dab of pop influence. And it's dull as all hell. I will warn you, I am not a fan of bands like The Posies, Teenage Fanclub, Material Issue, Velvet Crush or any other power pop / self proclaimed garage rock band from the late 80s. To me, all the songs sound identical and then flutter into [...]
Sometimes things break. Sometimes things fall apart. Sometimes the songs we upload don't work. We do what we can. We carry on, fight the urge to succumb to frustration, and we walk through another day. The last post "Santa Kong!" is now up and running again. No idea what happened on that one. Peter, I owe you a coke. Or more songs. Actually, let's just do more songs, that sounds easier.
From Wikipedia: "The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc." Geek stuff seems to be 'in' right now, which is fine by me. I've been one for years, and a little social acceptance isn't a horrible thing, although I honestly don't care one way or the other. I'm also an unabashed Star Wars fan, and today's release of the Clone Wars is as good an excuse as any to [...]
