F Yeah Fest Tour and July 12th in NYC

A few years ago, right when I moved back to LA I was able to check out the F**k Yeah Fest III in Echo Park. I got to see a bunch of cool bands, spend time in a neighborhood that there’s no way I would’ve hung out in in high school, and most importantly see [...]

Weekend Nardwuar Serving (Memorial Day Addition)

As I tend to spend my weekends away from the computer, I’m going to try and finish every Friday up with a little helping of Nardwuar the Human Serviette. Don’t know who Nardwuar is? Educate yourself. This week there’s an extra one for Memorial Day (and my birthday!) (and because I didn’t blog at all [...]

Weezer Goes Viral

As you can tell, its been a busy week. This has been my first chance to update anything since last Friday, and your weekend Nardwuar serving will probably go live in like twenty minutes.
Anyways, like anybody with good taste in music, Weezer’s first two records are amongst my favorites. The Green Album wasn’t bad, Maladroit [...]

Big Business, Qui, Crystal Antlers in LA Tonight

If you’re in LA, you might want to head out to The Scene Bar in Glendale (yeah, Glendale) tonight to check out a pretty stellar lineup of The Crystal Antlers, Triclops, Qui, 400 Blows, and Big Business. If anything, this is a pretty good indication of the “LA” sound…sludgy, loud etc. plus one band from [...]

Tour: The Loved Ones, The Hold Steady

Normally I don’t post about tours. There’s a million sites out there that do, so people can figure that shit out on their own. I thought this was a pretty cool lineup though. I think its cool when bands from different “scenes” tour together.
Also, the third time I saw The Hold Steady was when they [...]

A Few Minutes of Your Time

If you haven’t been to Videogum yet, its kind of like Best Week Ever, but less snarky, and owned by Stereogum. I wrote a brief review of it when it launched last month.
Anyways, I just found this video on there and its pretty sweet. If I had any artistic ability at all, this would be [...]

No Age @ the LA Public Library

Back in the early 1990s, when the LA Central Public Library in downtown LA re-opened after what I remember to be a pretty big fire (correct me if I’m wrong), my mom played a pretty big part on the event-planning committee . I don’t remember everything they did…mostly it was readings from authors, book signings, [...]

Review: The Bouncing Souls, live in Brooklyn

The Gaslight Anthem, Tim Barry, The Bouncing Souls: Live in Brooklyn
If you pay attention to this blog, you know I’ve been excited about this show for a while. I was initially going to review this entire show, but Punknews already beat me to it (and did a fine job, may I add). They did, however, [...]
