First of all, go to the player on the right on play the first song. It's the current AMAZING thing that I am posting about. 8:08 pm at the Beach. It's mellow and appropriate for anyone. You may not dig it, but it's the sort of song, that just makes everything seem OK while you're listening to it. The title describes the feeling of it. This Fred Falke guy does some pretty cool stuff if you like this.


The picture on the left is from fashion week last week. Took a bunch of photos and have not gotten around to editing them. This is just a random placeholder. I'll have a better link to a whole album of them soon enough. Really. I will.

So yeah, fashion week was fun overall, but I got tired of it quickly. Lots of hassle and hype for a quick 10 minute show. But I did meet some interesting and attractive people. Maybe more on that in future posts.

Last night went to Troubadour with the great Cindy Clark and her sistam to see Portugal The Man. Had never seen them and they were quite good. The opening band, Sexy Shazam was pretty insane. They had a stage show that was ummm... difficult to describe but a joy to watch.

OK, enjoy.

Last night saw Explosions in the Sky at the Wiltern here in Los Angeles. Was a great show. Very intense band and totally unique. They remind me more of going to the symphony than a typical rock show.
Peter Berg was there with some people and Minka Kelly as well. Was appropriate that some Friday Night Lights people were there to support/enjoy them. I think playing that music would be really cathartic and good for you. Well, except for the part of when your shredding your fingers on the guitar string, but other than that.... Great show. I put a song on the player that you can listen to if you are unfamiliar with Explosions in the Sky.

OK. Something Spectacular. Actually, it's from an album called Oracular Spectacular from the band MGMT. The song is the first one on the playlist to the right. It's a bit of an autobiographical song, a bit of a fantasy, some cynicism and optimism and a really dirty, cool bass line. CanNOT get enough of it lately .The thing is, it's much better if you turn it up really quite loud with lots of loud bass. Also, it does say the 'F' word in it, so it may not be for everyone.
But it is definitely for me. MGMT - Time to Pretend
