Music. Live.
I'm too lazy to blog. Too annoyed to get out of bed. Too - well, just too much. Anyway, its a new year and I'm going to catch up.
I live about 4 blocks from this old abandoned swimming pool. They have free concerts there every weekend. There are so many beautiful girls and so much fronting, fashioning and posturing. And good music, for free. Last week was Man Man. They've got a lot of energy, and play music on every possible piece of junk. Very entertaining to watch.
Last night I saw Cat Power and Built to Spill. It wasn't free, but the crowd was just as big, perhaps bigger. Chan Marshall was wasted, but at least she made it through all the songs. Built to Spill is mind blowing. But they ended their set abruptly, apparently due to a 10 PM curfew. Lame. But still amazing. I saw Leelee Sobieski in the crowd - also amazing. I went to sushi and the guys from Man Man were eating too. Imagine that, rock stars eat too. But they weren't wearing face paint.
This is the crowd. The funny part is that I only took a few quick pictures, so why the hate?
Lame picture, no way to capture how amazing these guys were in their face paint, throwing slide whistles and hammers, climbing on their keyboards, and making quite a beautiful racket.
This is one of my favorite photos of all time. Chan Marshall (Cat Power) by Richard Avedon.
Oh, and this is a great little dog I met on the kickball field. He reminded me of the little bundle of joy I used to have in my life. Liars suck-I miss Louie.
