Seeing Da Light with La Sera

Image
I'm back from my sabbatical. Not so much as a sabbatical as I do have a fairly active life, and no internet until tomorrow (woo), so updating as much as I try to is a bit of a struggle. I mean not like, what's happening in Mexico, or what Irish immigrants went through in America for the latter part of the 19th century. But it's a little struggle. A tiny struggle. A minute  struggle.  Anyway, in that time being, I have discovered  the new La Sera album and subsequently fallen in love.  Cute! I never paid attention to her debut that came out last year. Why? Um, the concept was boring? Like, oh . One of those chicks from one of those bands that kind of all sound the same (a la Dum Dum Girls). I mean, I'm more interested in listening to rare whale sounds. But on a random whim, and I guess all whims are random really, I downloaded her newest effort, Sees the Light . I also downloaded the new Frankie Rose because some of her stuff is okay and I often confuse th...

THE BEETS

Last week, when I caught Vivian Girls (! good show) at the Warhol (AMAZING, intimate venue) in Pittsburgh, I was introduced to the noisy rock of a band called the Beets (and no, not these guys , what an oddly detailed article). at first I was pissed off because I didn't feel like sitting through an opening act, much less an opening act I knew nothing about and didn't even realize would be there. changed my mind soon after these three young guys took the stage- and, seriously, they're a cute group, you just want to take them home and make them soup and possibly get them high- and started screaming their bloody heads off about wearing black and the Devil. very shoegazey with hints of bands like No Age and Times New Viking. with a small touch of '50s rock flavor! and, because Vivian Girls were equally as noisy, a perfect precursor. I was saddened to learn, after the show, they have no ALBUMS out that aren't on vinyl. I am not cool enough to own a turntable. The Warhol ...

what I am doing tomorrow night

seeing this band play at the Warhol: I don't usually see bands this hip. I'm shitting myself. how do I dress??? LIKE A FUCKING HIPSTER? they're all going to judge me and write on their blogs about me! oh, wait... but yeah, I went to go see Deerhunter a while ago and I panicked because there were too many hipsters. I skipped the show because of it :( - Brittany
