Three years I’ve been in LA and people still ask why I moved here. These are just the highlights from last month.

Saturday, Sept 8
I caught wind of what was being billed as an HHH "CD Release Party" at a dance club in Hollywood. Now, I knew the album wasn't coming out until the next Tuesday and I knew the guys were in New York the night before, but ( Read more... )

GIP! Long time since I've said that.

I call this one "straight to the hot hot gutter." Heh.

HHH's album comes out next Tuesday and they put the entire album up on their myspace page today. Yay! It is so weird to hear the studio versions of songs I've only heard live. "Harmos and Tambos" is freaking me out! But in a good way. Like in a "I need to ( Read more... )

Oh my giddy god.

I have a week's worth of amazing concert adventures and a quick visit from the parentals to write about, but I am totally, completely, 100% distracted.

I go out of town for two days and all hell breaks loose. The Wallflowers have announced they are playing five "intimate club shows" on the east coast next month.

WHAT??!

I think my head ( Read more... )

Oh. Hey there, LJ. Long time, no blog.

So, while I have been over here not writing, I have been quietly falling in love with yet another band - the briefly aforementioned Hot Hot Heat. I know. Me? Fall for a band that shows us even a smidge of attention? Weird, right?

But I couldn't help it. Their synth-punk power-pop won me over pretty instantly. ( Read more... )

Three cities, five concerts and a whole week of Snow Patrol - one would think that I would have a lot to say. Turns out, not so much.

Santa Barbara was miserable from beginning to end. Highlights include: La Super Rica for lunch, Ma and Pa Hawthorne and their giant road atlas, pina colada slurpees on the way home. Lowlights include: everything else ( Read more... )

Yet another installment of "Only in LA..."

Went to the Troub to catch a show tonight then ended up in the bar with the band after the gig watching themselves perform on Leno.

Surreal.

First, big fat birthday wishes to Mr. gL! Another year, another candle, an' all that. Hope you go have a bit of fun after all the do-goodin' you've been up to this week. Cheers!

And sweet fancy Moses!! Pooperhead Pearlman was taken into custody. I think I speak for us all when I say bye, bye, bye, TransCon!! Have fun in Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass ( Read more... )

Four little words and PY has weaseled his way back into our hearts. Yesterday was good. Oh, so very good. The Man is looking and sounding better than ever. Short as it might have been, it was certainly sweet to sit on a bed of fluffy pillows and get our own private show in a perfect studio environment.

Word on the street is that the station will be ( Read more... )

Man. I was trying so hard last week to channel all my stored karma into those remaining Snow Patrol tickets that finally went on sale, but I could feel my chi was just out of whack the whole time. Didn't work and we will be kicking it in the middle of the crowd with the masses, but cosmic forces seemed to have re-aligned themselves and the karma is ( Read more... )
