Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Hey all. I hope your Saturday goes well. Mine already sucks! I should’ve taken the advise I offered in yesterday’s post. Whatever, there’s been enough “whoa is me” bullshit around here for the last month. Here’s the news.

Evergreen – Bob Weston Sessions

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Evergreen, the Louisville hardcore-cum-blues-boogie-rock band featuring Slint’s Britt Walford on drums, attempted to record a follow-up to their self-titled release (Evergreen, an amazing, minimalist, dance-y rock album), which was put out by Hi-Ball in ‘95.

I’m pretty sure I came to this conclusion as I was driving up Hillhurst towards Los Feliz. What sparked the idea? Why, driving right past Yuca’s, of course! There was a [...]

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Awoke early this morning and sped through my morning routine. I picked up Nicci at about 10:00am, and we began our drive down 10-East towards the desert. The plan for today was to explore the Salton Sea, stopping at two points on opposite sides of the lake in order to best experience the weird, amazing [...]
