Now who wants upload me their newer record that I lost?
Cursive will also be playing at UCLA on 1/11 and UCSD on 1/12 but don’t know if they are student only shows.
Xiu Xiu and Sunset Rubdown @ the troubadour is going to be amazing!

Last year Sunset Rubdown played after Coachella, so now I’m hoping Spencer pulls double duty with Wolf Parade and Swan Lake at Coachella
Roscoe – You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Many thanks.
(Don’t tell Ron, but I’m switching off the XM in our lobby ["Watercolors" - channel 71 - smooth jazz] and putting this on the Bose right now.)
Hey LosAnjealous:
wouldn’t it be cool to have an official (Confirmed Artist to Play) Coachella list. This would only consist of artist that we know that are definitely playing Coachella . Every year there’s always the speculation as to what bands are playing. Here we can list them, along with the source that they are scheduled to play Coachella.
Here’s one LCD SoundSystem

Hey did anyone notice the songs on the lobby radio are less smooth and jazzy?
Jeff Porcaro died of a cocaine-induced heart attack. Gee, never would have seen that coming from a member of Toto, no sir.
The Against Me/Bronx show on Thurs. has been moved to the Key Club!
Is there some benfit concert at Cinespace on Wed with BRMC, BJM and Jimmy Gnecco? It’s not on their site, but Jimmy announced it at his Monday night show.
Thanks for the great tips all around. Steven mailed in a couple more: Camera Obscura at the El Rey on 2/17 and Grizzly Bear at the Troubadour on 2/21.
Dustin from Hot Hot Heat will be spinning tonight at the Shortstop. Moving Units are also having a show at the Troubadour Feb 3rd.
fyi camera obscura on sale Thursday at 10
FYI, the Safari Sam’s special guests for next Tuesday (Dec 19th) are OK Go, Rocket, and Siren’s Sister.
This is probably a make up show for when OK Go cancelled to do the VMAs earlier this year. Unless they’re bringing the treadmills on tour I’m not sure how this is any more special than other shows.
the possibility of other “special guests” would be sweet. but there is a difference between this and their previously scheduled september show — before, they weren’t nominated for a grammy — yet it’s still a $5 show.
You want a grammy? I can get you a grammy, believe me. There are ways, Jenn. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a grammy by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with engraving. These fucking amateurs…
Hey, I’m just stating the facts Ron. I don’t give a damn about a fucking grammy. Relax. Happy holidays.
Jenn, that wasn’t directed towards you. As residents of this fair city it is our duty to quote freely from the greatest LA movie of all time, The Big Lebowski.
↑ Never seen it. Another fyi, Garbage, ‘The Martinis’ with Joey Santiago, David Lovering of ‘The Pixies’, Bonnie Raitt, Keb’Mo, Victoria Williams, Tom Freund, and Freedy Johnston @ the Alex Theatre 1/31 for a benefit concert.
Presented by the Guacamole Fund. Of course.
[...] Jeff: Have you seen the Big Lebowski yet? [...]
[...] Five Stages of Grief, Know Your Local Asian Newswcasters, Losanjealous IS SELLING It on eBay and a giant photograph of Jeff Porcaro…Ron stays out of the way of writing these days but enjoys a splendid view from the sidelines. [...]
