No Age at the Silent Movie Theater, 8/30/09

French film soundtracked by

Backwards English and drum zeal

At plot climaxes

Deerhunter with Pocahaunted and David Scott Stone at the Detroit Bar, 8/27/09

David Scott Smith

I think I get what

He was going for, and yet

Still not invested.

Pocahaunted

Someone in this band

Studied their reggae, studied

It pretty damn well.

Deerhunter

Like water, like a

River of pink, bathing me

In texture, in light.

Night Control at the Smell, 8/23/09

All of the lines blurred 

On their record firmed up and

Really striking live. 

The Flaming Lips at the Del Mar Racetrack, 8/15/09

Appreciation

Of both their position and

Their adoring fans :)

Shine Brothers at the Silverlake Lounge, 8/10/09

Steamrolled zydeco

Calibrated for July

Yet rocking August!

The Magnolia Electric Co with The Donkeys at the Echo, 7/28/09

The Donkeys

Classic rock-inspired
Showmen instrumentally,
Yet sweetly bashful

The Magnolia Electric Co

Actual tears streamed
During melodic memoirs
And ripped our hearts out.

Theater Fire at Vacation Records, 7/17/09

The armor washboard

Stole the show, punctuating

Their percussive point.

Spires at the Echo Curio, 7/16/09

Every song was good

And I knew not a one. So 

Exciting to find!

Tortoise at Amoeba Hollywood, 7/9/09

Angular rhythms

Circling most pleasantly 

Not challenging, though.
