David Byrne, I wish you never had those whacky ass modern dancers performing with you. They were so distracting... but not as distracting as the white trash heathen sitting behind us clapping off-beat and swilling booze from a jug. I could barely enjoy your music, I was so distracted by my environment. I hope the next time I see you it'll be a more private affair. It's nice to see you still truckin', congrats on that.
If you can find me a church like this, I will start attending religiously.

Big ups to our good pal Wyatt Troll for winning best cinematography at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. I can honestly say, I've been waiting for his eye to win an award for some time now and the Moon Man is a great start! I hope he books a lot, a lot, a lot of new fancy gigs so we can win some of his money at our next poker game. Congrats, again Wyatt!

Spiritualized's Jason Pierce rocks $475 Gucci sneakers. Made in Italy, lace-up sneakers in silver calf with interchangeable laces and perforated Gucci script to be exact.
Shoegazer and experimental rock favorite, Spiritualized played a rare club show at The Echo, thanks to the MySpace Secret Shows series. I got pinged 24 hours before and put in my request. Jim Merlis at Big Hassle hooked it up and before I knew it, I was about six feet from Jason Pierce and his band jamming to a packed house of a couple of hundred. Was it special? Fuck yeah. Was it good? ZOMG, yes. I know a lot of peeps saw Spiritualized at the Hollywood Bowl and thought the show rocked. But nothing, compares to seeing a live music act of this caliber in this small size a venue. Recognized as one of the most influential and critically acclaimed British rock bands ever, Spiritualized definitely whipped everyone into a frenzy. Thanks Jim and MySpace for the bragging rights and memorable night!
Here's some footage of the show, apologies for the piss poor sound, I was standing next to the speakers:
Songlist (same as the Portland, Berbati's Pan, September 15th show):
Amazing Grace/You Lie You Cheat, Shine a Light, Cheapster, Soul on Fire, Sweet Talk, Sitting on Fire, Walkin' With Jesus, Oh Baby, Rated X, Lay Back, Death Take Your Fiddle, Life is a Problem, Ladies & Gentlemen, She Kissed Me, Come Together, and Take Me to the Other Side.
Dear First Aid Kit, please keep singing. You make me well up because your sound is so beautiful. You are reminiscent of young Janis Joplins and more emotionally stable Cat Powers, thank you.
Dear World, have a listen to these two incredibly talented singers from Sweden. Sometimes the internets just gives and gives. Thank you! More info about the two sisters here:
First Aid Kit is a Swedish duo formed by sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg from Enskede, a suburb south of Stockholm. They're young - very young. Klara is 15 and Johanna 17. The music they create could, however, hardly be called young, it's rather ancient. The emphasis is on narrative lyrics accompanying playful melodies with intense, thick harmonies. This is nothing new.

French chanteuse Emilie Simon performed a solo show for a crowd that included the great Quincy Jones. As usual, she enraptured the audience with her sexy charm and voice. It is always a treat to catch such a big performer abroad in a small venue locally.
Dear Hustlers, it's been nearly two years since I last caught the beautiful French songstress, Emilie Simon perform in Los Angeles. Her coquettish demeanor and seductive songs easily enrapture audiences without pretense. In other words, she's easy on the eyes, sings awesome, and is a fun performance (her band has unorthodox ways of making music).
If you'd like a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Emilie in concert on Tuesday, September 9th at the Roxy (stage time is 10:15 pm), leave a comment. A winner will be picked and notified by Monday evening.
