In 2008 I was lucky enough to attend 3 of Tom Waits‘ Glitter and Doom Tour dates. This was the e-mail I sent to my friends after El Paso…it’s mostly just a recap of the setlist, but thought I’d post it anyway. It is Tom Waits afterall! I am sitting in the El Paso airport

In 2008 I was lucky enough to attend 3 of Tom Waits‘ Glitter and Doom Tour dates. This was the e-mail I sent to my friends after the opening night in Phoenix, AZ…it’s mostly just a recap of the setlist, but thought I’d post it anyway. It is Tom Waits afterall! We arrived at the
Curtis Lane is at the top of my favorite 2010 releases. It brings together the best aspects of electronic music and ups the ante with Pat Grossi‘s personal lyrics and choirboy vocals. Wilderness brought me in, Your Love Is Safe hooked me and the rest of the 6-song EP brought me back for more over

‘Come to the darkside, we have cookies’ I went to a Grateful Dead show once. I believe it was at Shoreline in Mountain View, CA. I didn’t go inside or anything; just hung out in the parking lot and partied with my friends. If someone would have asked what my favorite Dead song was or

The first thing I noticed when I walked into the Bluebird last week was that the band on stage looked like kids that should be practicing in their parents basement. Long hair, skinny jeans, vintage Def Leppard t-shirts from 1992 (!!!????)…dirty, greasy, wannabe rock stars from Nowhere, USA. Not what I expected from these indie

Last time Bloc Party came through San Francisco I didn’t go. I had tickets but I opted out. We couldn’t find a sitter and I decided I would be the one who stayed home. It’s not that I didn’t want to go. I think I was making up for something I did wrong. I did

From the moment I first walked into Larimer Lounge a couple years ago, I knew I had found my spot. This was the first place I had found in Denver that reminded me of San Francisco. It’s a dive, they pour stiff cheap drinks, they have an outside patio in the back and they book

Last night was my 4th time seeing Pavement live and I was not a Pavement fan. Most Pavement fans will hate me for that statement, but it’s true. The first time I saw them was in Los Angeles for Lollapalozza ’95. Sonic Youth, Beck and even Hole were much more interesting than Pavement. The second

How hard can it be to find someone to go see Willie Nelson at Red Rocks? On Labor Day Weekend?! Harder than you’d think! It seemed everyone had plans, couldn’t get out or just plain didn’t want to go see the redheaded stranger this weekend. I began to regret purchasing two tickets to this show

If Vampire Weekend proved one thing with their performance at Red Rocks on Friday it’s that they’ve come a long way since I saw them open for Shout Out Louds at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. The preppy indie band from New York performed for a few hundred people that night and I think
