Noisepop Parts 2-4 + Other Musical Subjects
Wow. That was some week and I think I'm musicked-out for a month or so. LOL.
On Wednesday, I saw Britt Daniel from Spoon do his solo thing and he sure looked good. My friend Miss C says he's the Johnny Depp of rock stars. The other thing that I liked that night was Meric Long. He's an amazing guitar player from Oakland who played a lot of tricky catchy stuff on his acoustic guitar. It helped that he was pretty sexy too.
Thursday was over at Bimbo's. I really didn't like anything we saw though everyone was competent. The one thing I really liked was the woman in the Octopus Project playing her theramin like she was dancing the robot. Other than that, I got bored.
Friday was one very late night with Jason Collett and Etienne de Rocher. Both were great fun to watch. Etienne has a nice little singer-songwriter thing going. Jason was wasted, but he still sounded great. I liked his babbling actually, even when he wanted to endorse Patron. Hey, at least, it's a quality product.
Saturday, we all went to see Mr. Ash sing his heart out to Mozart. I never thought I'd get to see the Pacific Mozart Ensemble actually do Mozart. LOL. Mr. Ash's voice always amazes me because his tenor is so supple and strong. It's weird to hear that sound coming out of his mouth. LOL. After that, we went to the Mezzanine to see some bands at the Filter Magazine party. I really liked Band of Horses. I'll need to hear them again. The truly amazing moment though was Helio Sequence. They're a two man outfit from Subpop who rock hard. They're really catchy too. I'll need to get a copy of the record to see if they really are that good.
Sunday, I finally stopped seeing music. I just needed a break.
