Latest New Music

I haven't been keeping up with music at all until lately; I think when I tried listening to new music a couple months ago I didn't find anything good in the little amount of time I gave it. Anyway, some neat things I've discovered recently:


Emiliana Torrini - Birds



She's Icelandic.


The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Young Adult Friction




And, I'm going to take the liberty of posting this, Larkin introduced me to Passion Pit - Sleepyhead:



I also really like Passion Pit - I've Got Your Number. And I also recently got into the Shout Out Louds. =P

The Of Montreal Concert

Okay, so I previously thought that Of Montreal and their opener, HEALTH were starting to sound strange (like industrial/metal strange). But... I downloaded Of Montreal's new album, "Skeletal Lamping" and it sounds fine, so I think the Palladium speakers were just overbearingly loud, so that every song sounded like a death metal guitar. Anyway I don't like the Palladium; the venue for Deerhoof, Avalon, was much better.

My favorite part was when they played Franzy's 'Take Me Out' as their encore, followed by Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit." They were fantastic covers, as good as or better than Franzy could play. And I don't know about Nirvana, but it sounded good to me =P

A Tantalizing Offer

I bought 2 extra tickets to the Of Montreal show at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium for Sat, Nov. 22. Originally, I thought our friend Sean would be coming with us, but it looks like he'll be stuck up in the observatory tinkering with the telescopes. So yes, I have 2 extra tickets to anyone who is interested in a visit to Hollywood combined with a sparkling Of Montreal concert. It's on me! (The tickets)

Deerhoof...

Was quite good, though not too flashy. I do like it when bands are a little flashy, maybe not as much as Of Montreal, but I like the flashy lights. For whatever reason, the lights were a little bland at the Avalon (the venue in Hollywood), and Satomi was a little shy. But, she plays bass, has a childish voice, and jumps around. So that makes up for it. She's married to the drummer (Greg Saunier), who happens to look like Tyler.
