Losanjealous Concert Picks: May 21 – 27
PICK OF THE WEEK
The Clientele & Beach House @ Knitting Factory
The Clientele’s ethereal gossamer pop is still going strong. Now with a 4th member, Mel, on violin and keyboards, comes the tour of their excellent new LP, God Save The Clientele. Baltimore’s Beach House are a M/F duo making some dreamy sounds themselves so get there early.

Anybody have the “American Express Gold Card Events” p/w for the White Stripes 09/19/2007 show at The Forum in Inglewood, CA?
The password is the customer service number behind your AMEX Gold Card.
Oscar, you are bomb. Thank you. Unfortunately, I don’t have an AMEX Gold Card. Could you be so kind as to provide the number or email it to me at dotnetjeff at gmail.com. Lol. Googling it now.
Actually. Cancel that request. Got it.

Just when I thought I had outsmarted the system. I need an AMEX card to buy the darn things. I need to go back to social engineering 201. LOL. Have a great Friday guys. I’m off to see Roger Waters.
