this is it




this is concert season. this should be apparent given that drew and i have been going ape shit buying tickets for various shows. it's like a smorgesbord of fun show after fun show.

Fever Ray - was absolutely excellent. i was obsessed with her new album going in and the show was utterly amazing. her voice was pretty on point and the visuals... well fuck. they were incredible... lazer lights, tribal-ish drum band, antique lamps hooked up to the beat so that they looked like luminescent jellyfish... didn't really get to see her face but i think that seems pretty customary to both her and her brother.

Junior Boys - this was the 2nd time i saw them. 1st time was @ bimbo's. they were good, but god, the 2nd time around was absolutely amazing. their energy was just way up there and everyone was dancing and having a good time.

Itzhak Perlman - what can i say? i've grown up listening to classical music and to see one of the world's most prolific violinist live was a dream. watching him play i witnessed what it truly meant to be one with an instrument.

La Roux - poppy, but she's got some fun dancy hits. her voice is really unique and was really great to hear live despite that she was sick and only sang 6 songs. she still sounded great.

Halloween should definitely be fun with the hotchip/danger show at the avalon (love that venue). I'm also currently working on my costume which i'll post about later.

i can't wait to see the pixies (FINALLY!) and i've been really into fuck buttons but haven't gotten a chance to see them so this should be cool... and i will take the liberty of saying that everyone is excited to see the XX either in LA or SF. röyksopp was also something i stumbled on while walking by the regency... that should be a good show. and haven't seen SMD since miami. pretty excited to see them at the mezzanine cuz that venue is one of the best in SF. :)

November will be a good month.
