By Ryan - Monday May 31st 2010 |
Last Thursday I was fortunate to attend an intimate performance by Nas and Damian Marley at Apogee’s Berkeley Street Studio in Santa Monica. The event, hosted by Garth Trinidad with Bob Clearmountain behind the mixing board, will air on Garth’s show on KCRW this Thursday, June 3 at 9pm Pacific Standard Time. Full show and interview will also be available in the KCRW archives beginning June 3.

The National Finish All the Wine at The Wiltern
By Liz - Monday May 24th 2010 |
PHOTO by Lindsey. Full set here.
“I’m put together beautifully/Big wet bottle in my fist/big wet rose in my teeth/I’m a perfect piece of ass.”
The National entered the spotlight at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Friday night as you’d expect them to: upstanding, cool, dark suited and tied. Matt Berninger sings, “showered and blue-blazered/fill yourself with quarters,” over brothers Dressner and Devendorf’s calm, sorrowful instrumentation on “Mistaken for Strangers.” At first, the lights were low, and the sound was bad. Matt left the stage frequently between songs, and finally returned with a full bottle of wine all for himself. It’s only just begun.
The sound’s been adjusted and Matt’s made it a glass or so in by the time we get to “Afraid of Everyone,” one of the many odes to the loneliness of aging on the Brooklyn band’s latest masterpiece, High Violet. He starts singing more forcefully and loses his footing occasionally as he circles the stage, slightly frantic. Lost in the brightening lights, he begins to crack as he repeats the song’s closing line, “Your voice is swallowing my soul soul soul.” He’s not singing to us as much as speaking for us.
For the remainder of the set, the band serves as a steady base for Berninger’s breakdown, never missing a beat as Matt’s bottle of wine slowly empties. »continue reading The National Finish All the Wine at The Wiltern
