not too surprisingly, indie rock’s elder statesmen Dinosaur Jr. are returning tonight to Los Angeles after two sold out shows at the Troubadour in June. they’re playing the House of Blues Sunset Strip, and the place will be lucky to still be standing after J., Lou and Murph finish plugging in those purple amps. i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again. loudest fucking band in America. (My Bloody Valentine doesn’t count, they’re from the Old Country.)
i imagine at this point that the inside of J. Mascis’ ears sounds like the scene in Fight Club when Ed Norton gets done shooting a bullet through his mouth and there’s nothing but ringing while people mouth things to him and look worried…

been waiting for an excuse to post this video forever. only in music video land do nerdy as fcuk guys get to make out with hot as fcuk girls. LMFAO bring the polka dot bikini gurllls to the House of Blues Sunset tonight.
woof. apparently The Church are still around and actually have been fairly productive. who knew? they’re playing the Sunset Strip tonight at the Roxy with Adam Franklin and the Bolts of Melody (he’s lead singer of the amazing Swervedriver). should be a fun show for the old alt-rock coots like me.
one of my favorite moments in Coachella history was Bauhaus’ reunion performance in 2005, with gothtastic frontman Peter Murphy entering the stage hanging upside down a la drah-coo-la while singing their epic Bela Lugosi’s Dead in its entirety. (that’s a long time to hang upside down, folks.) most everyone else in the world who tried something with that level of possible cheese factor would have crashed and burned, but i’m pretty sure that Murphy actually drinks human blood, and it simply laid the groundwork for an absolutely stellar performance from one of the most influential bands in the world. the set was amazing, Murphy is amazing, and this should be a performance to die for (hey! look at that! more goth jokes! it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, kids). Murphy is playing the House of Blues Sunset Strip tonight, and it’s a three thumbs up show from jesus satan.
hey there, honey... Peter Murphy "Light Pours Out Of Me" by Ken Aldridge...

sorry folks, been out of touch a bit… nursing a heartbreak the last couple of days because TINT left us for the Big Apple. enough time for mourning… it’s time to move on. (at least that’s what my therapist says.)
in the meantime there have been a few things that made it past me, including Mos Def hitting the House of Blues Sunset Strip tonight. should be a good show, and i hope that TINT is really jealous because he can’t go, especially because there will probably be a bunch of Def’s famous A-list friends there, and you know how much TINT likes to hob knob.
so check it hell-A! word to your mutha! (how was that, TINT? black enough for you? no? too bad cause you left just like all the rest…)
further proof that the fist bump no longer has relevance...
