Goth

I posted this back in April, to a private thing. At the time, I didn’t want to stir up any real trouble. But I think everyone has sorted themselves out a bit more by now. By way of editor’s notes, Chiaroscuro was a “goth/industrial” club in DC and Spellbound, in Continue Reading

Since Antarctica

Saw another Since Antarctica show out at Fat Tuesday’s. Wonderful time. The music was, of course, awesome. The hipsters were a bit much, bouncing in front of me every time I went to take a photo. Amanda (sparklypoof) thoughtfully offered to kick their ass, for me, though.

My bar scars have mostly worn off. I picked them up on Monday night at the Black Cat, for a show by Juliette and the Licks. A good rock show by any definition. But some of the stuff going on around the show kind of stuck out. The Juliette headlineing Continue Reading

Reminder

Reminder: Monday is the Juliette and the Licks show at the Black Cat. I’m going, and would hate to go alone. I’m not above guilt trips, if it comes to that. Don’t make me do it, man. Monday. Opening band starts around 8:30. Tickets are $13 at the door.

hot bands and dead girls

So yeah… I rambled on for a while there, about the Visqueen show, didn’t I? I really wanted to get something down that night, when it was all still fresh. But looking back… yeah.. just crap. The show really was amazing though. I’ve never seen a better live rock band. Continue Reading

All things Visqueen

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! … … AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry… Drew Carey is hosting a talk show. But at least he’s talking to Zack Braff about Garden State; which if you haven’t seen — drop the baby and go now. Just got back from the Velvet Lounge. Finally got to see Visqueen. Continue Reading

The iPod went on a pretty good streak this afternoon. Right up until it hit a Hole song. I love Courtney Love, but it’s not exactly music you listen to as a means of inspiring cheer or mellowness. Zeromancer ― Neo-Geisha Jean Bach ― falling into atmosphere Sinead Lohan ― Continue Reading
