Coming up next... 1 week ago

Horse Feathers at the Bootleg on Nov 17th (next Tuesday). I’m excited about this show. It is a neat venue.

But the last time we went to the Bootleg we saw El Ten Eleven (awesome… it is like a magic show to see the bassist/guitarist work his pedals and loops) and it got off really late. So I look forward to Tuesday and not so much Wednesday morning.

I should have made this goal... 1 week ago

“See and WRITE about live music”—I’m doing great at the seeing part. I think my brother and I have averaged a concert every 2 weeks since February. I intended to write about each one here… ahhh, neglected intentions, I’ve got a box full.

The last concert we saw was Regina Spektor at the Greek. She was absolutely awesome. Mad with talent. Adorable beyond words. The audience would yell kindnesses like “Regina, marry me” and “Regina, we love you” and she would just get coy and look down and giggle cutely. I was tempted to yell to her to marry me, but it didn’t seem romantic enough and I can’t handle the rejection right now anyway.

So… she played most of the songs on her new album and a good number of older ones. She had a drummer, 2 violins, a cello… darn, this is why I should write about these right when they happen… a viola? Basically, a string section, a drummer and her. She played mostly piano, as expected, but also guitar. She did one number where she played piano with one hand, drummed on a chair with the other and sang. I think she has little brains in her appendages.

One of the highlights for me was Apres Moi—amazing song, done amazingly and sporting an extended section sung in Russian.

Highly recommended all around, though she’s not for everybody. Sanvea used to call her “that weird chick you listen to”, which she probably still would if any of her friends listened to something as cool as Regina (just kidding… kind of… no, I’m kidding… maybe).



Muse 1 week ago

If I get tickets, I’m planning to see them next September.

Oh, and Juliette Lewis at The Peel at the end of the month :) hopefully.

Paying for these is totally gonna mess up my money-spending plans, but it will be so worth it in the end :’)
