November 12 – Feist @ Gibson Amphitheater

Yes. Gibson Amphitheater. Damn, I didn’t know she was that big. I was hoping she’d come back to LA since I couldn’t get tickets for the Wiltern show and she was inexplicably absent from Coachella yet again, but wow. I want to see her, but at an expensive, 7000 seat venue in the middle of a tourist trap? That place needs screens really badly, too.

Really, Jack and Meg? Really? I didn’t buy those great, cheap presale Arcade Fire seats because I had to shuffle the New Pornographers to Thursday because you were playing on Wednesday, and now you cancel? Now? Eight days before? Come on, guys!

Last night @ the Music Box seemed to be a different type of concert — aw hell, it had Wired Magazine’s NextFest people filling up the lobby with their cool gadgets (which a geek like me quite enjoyed) to promote the event this weekend. I think a sizable chunk of the crowd were there mostly for NextFest (like the ones in the back and sitting up on mezz) — and the crowd affects the performers on stage IMHO, so Dr. Octagon did pretty well considering. I think tonight or tomorrow night might be better.

If The White Stripes cite “medical reasons” and cancel their show at the Forum, like they have for their Austin shows, I may check out The New Pornographers as well.

k so spoon was a little bit whatevs last night in my opinion. it was my first time seeing them. also they had the fucking roof bar closed off unless you got a wristband. i’m not sure who died and made wired magazine the king of the fonda but it was sort of retarded. fortuitously i was in the company of a comely, conniving female who managed to trick some unsuspecting wired employees into thinking that we were, i don’t know, celebs or something? (“we never wait in line here and we always get wristbands. i need two of them right now.” yes, this actually worked.)

so but the show. so little variation from album versions of songs; nobody but britt has ANY stage presence. they looked nervous. also they would speed up a lot of the songs mid-song in a way that did not sound intentional at all.

i’ll be back there next wednesday finding something else to complain about while watching the pornos. is neko gonna be there? if not that’s a good place for me to start.

love,

Charlie, I absolutely agree (Jody and me go waaay back) but have you ever flown Southwest? How many drinks waiting for the “15-minute delay”? = extra $7-14 per on suds at the Fonda so you don’t wait for music with your hands unoccupied. If you’re like me.

Actually, Jeff, I’ve heard it’s October 30th for Neil, not November. Sadly, however, the ticket prices you’ve quoted are dead-on.
