José González’ Bearded Argentinian-Swedish Gúdness Heads to Vista
By Ryan - Tuesday October 03rd 2006 |
The Beard™ of José Feliciano González is an international one, to be sure. This Thursday he’s an Argentinian born in Sweden, singing in English, playing to a crowd of English-speaking hipsters in a city that predominately speaks Spanish, spotlighting a song that was featured in a German car commercial. Time permitting, maybe he’ll throw in a few British songs for good measure. I for one would not say no to a set sung entirely in Esperanto.
I had the pleasure of witnessing Dr González* at the Hotel Café one rainy night last spring, and I must indeed condone this Thûrsday’s affair. As mentioned in this week’s concert calendar, we want you to win a pair of tickets to this show. Winner will be announced Wednesday around noon. Good luck!

How We Arrived at Yi Ga Ju
By Ryan - Sunday October 01st 2006 |
“Hullo?”
“Oh. Hello!”
“Ha. It’s three o’clock in the morning, jesus where are you? Are you on the road?”
“Onnn the road. But near my house. How was Frampton! That’s so awesome. Did he wah-wah-waah, wah wah?”
“You’re goddam right he did. He totally Came Alive. All over my ears and face. All over the wiltern. Everywhere.”
“I knew you were going to say that. How was the wiltern, old crowd?”
“It was weird. They had chairs set up. I’ve never seen that…but I guess that’s what they do for old dudes. I was just there two nights prior for Sonic Youth and I can guarantee those guys had no chairs. I’ve never seen chairs. Whatever. Originally it was billed as, like, Pearl Frampton. Peter Jam or something. Two dudes from Pearl Jam were supposed to be onstage with him. Then we get this message saying they’re not part of this tour, after all, and it’s just Frampton with Frampton. Very hack.”
“Huh.”
“But think about it man. Thurston Moore has to be about the same age as Frampton. And he’s still coming alive all over the wiltern, without the chairs. But that’s neither here nor there.”
“I can’t believe you’re actually awake.”
“I just got in here, I just got back from karaoke. I’m hoarse as hell.”
