Tegan and Sarah, Orpheum Theater, Downtown Los Angeles (10/29/2007)

30 October 2007

I heard about their tour just before their new album The Con had come out, and was depressed to hear they were playing that week in Malibu, but amazingly this Canadian band came back a few months later to play in downtown Los Angeles. I had actually only heard of them a month or two […]

Selling Out & Going Home by Get Set Go, Written by Michael “Mike TV” Torres (2007)

18 January 2007

Mike TV has really pulled out all the stops with this album, and has made a damn near perfect album. Now I have been a fan of these guys for some time, watching them at Mr. T’s Bowl long before they released thee completely perfect album SO YOU’VE RUINED YOU LIFE, one of the ultimate […]

Get Set Go Record Release Party “Selling Out & Going Home” 2007

16 January 2007

Last night was the record release party for Get Set Go’s new album at the Key Club in West Hollywood, with an amazing band lineup.
The Electrolites
Yes Dear
Get Set Go
Midway
New Maximum Donkey
My only complaint is the sound system was pretty inferior. The mix was bad, and the vocals were hard to hear, and some of the […]

Tenacious D The Complete Master Works (2003)

5 December 2006

A complete collection for all those who love this insane duo. And watching this you really realize just how insane these 2 are. Great musicians, but they are just silly and crazy.

Muse at the Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, CA 07-19-06

19 July 2006

I had never heard of MUSIC, until I started listening to the music my girlfriend Kelly had listed on her MySpace profile, and some of the bands I was not so hot on, like the RASMUS, but I started listening to Muse and specifically the album ORIGIN OF SYMMETRY and I really liked it. Muse […]

m-flo DVD tour 2005 Beat Space Nine at Budokan

5 April 2006

Honestly I never thought their could be a live DVD that topped the m-flo Astromantic DVD, but this one managed to do it. Not only do they get back some of the people who were missing from the Astromantic DVD like BoA, but they do the whole concert this time with Banter and have a […]

David Gray at the Gibson Ampitheatre, Los Angeles, CA 03-21-06

21 March 2006

David Gray finished off his US tour for his recent album Life in Slow Motion with a packed show at the Gibson Ampitheater. Actually first saw him play in college, when he certainly wasn’t so big, since his first album A Century Ends was released in 1993. Took my girlfriend who only knew 2 of […]

Live 8 DVD 2005

3 December 2005

From the sequel to the seminal Live Aid concert of the 1980’s, and once again to help the poverty stricken in Africa. This concert took place all over the world on July 2nd 2005, and features many prominent musicians the world over, but I have to admit I bought it for one reason, and one […]

Get Set Go and New Maximum Donkey at The Old Town Pub in Pasadena

18 September 2005

And awesome show, just a couple of days after New Maximum Donkey released their album (and it is available on Amazon). My first time at the Old Town Pub, which is a tiny little place, though with a nice little courtyard, and they only serve beers and cider, though they have a lot. And it […]

Yes Dear at the Troubadour 04-27-2005

27 April 2005

I could only stay for Yes Dear last night, but I do so love The Troubadour as a venue. I sat up top and had the best view of the show I could want, except I wish I could have had my good digital still camera, as I could have taken some amazing pictures. It […]

m-flo Astromantic DVD (2005)

28 March 2005

I have been a fan of m-flo since I first heard them. These guys are a totally off the wall Japanese Dance band. My friend Ashanti Luke is responsible for turning me on to them. And I have almost every release of theirs except some of their earlier videos and some of their singles […]

Yes Dear’s second show 01-16-05 Knitting Factory Main Stage

17 January 2005

Wow. I wasn’t too into the other bands, but the Yes Dear set was amazing. It gave me visions of seeing Arlo again. Damn what an amazing set. Much longer set than last night, 10 songs this time (I guess that is their whole set at this point). Wow!

Yes Dear’s 1st Show 01-15-05 Knitting Factory Alterknit Lounge

16 January 2005

Went to the show at the Alterknit lounge last night, and it was pretty bad ass. Didn’t get to stay for the whole show because my girlfriend was exhausted and it really isn’t her music (we really don’t like the same music, except maybe some Wong Faye). I did catch Ahmast

New Years 2004-2005 Mr. T’s Bowl

1 January 2005

An amazing night, as usual at T’s. A few way too drunk fans of one of the bands really kept me from video taping, but I brought my girlfriend and she got her first exposure to the scene, which was cool. I think she enjoyed Get Set Go and I know she loved New Maximum […]

Alpine iPod Interface

13 October 2004

I got an ALPINE CDA-9827 and the Alpine iPod interface. While I like the audio quality, and the fact that it charges my iPod, I think the interface is garbage. It is like putting a Ferrari engine in an old VW bug. Why you ask?

Get Set Go and New Maximum Donkey at T’s 7-30-2004

31 July 2004

The 3rd of Dr. Modo’s last shows with Get Set Go was tonight at T’s, and it was a phenomenal show.

Darren Hanlon

19 July 2004

I have been listening 2 the album, EP, and 2 singles I got. I am dyeing for his next album which comes out next month.

The Magnetic Fields with Darren Hanlon at Wilshire Ebel Theater 7-17-2004

18 July 2004

An amazing show, with an opening band that really blew me away. Great to finally see The Magnetic fields not only play, but put on such an amazing show

The Mountain Goats at Spaceland

29 March 2004

The Mountain Goats Rock. John was very cool. This was the 4th time I have seen him play.
