hurry (i think)!

found an MP3 version of the prince coachella show that had me dumbfounded the other night. not sure how long these links will last so get them while you can!!!
disc 1
disc 2
major props to noah b. for calling out the creep cover miles before anyone else realized what was going on. could. not. believe. it.

touch me i'm going to scream pt. 2

this one My Morning Jacket song that i first heard during that live broadcast of the SXSW show back in march has been on constant rewind. i was so stoked when they started playing this at coachella. little did i know that it was going to be the last song, but i know why they closed with it. because it is EFFIN incredible!!!

i was trying to post just the audio but i'm apparently not as geeky as i should be at the moment. so i'm using this youtube vid to do my dirty work. i seriously love this song. thank you for existing, MMJ!!!

ryan adams music

i can't comprehend a bigger impact on my musical trajectory than ryan adams.
i'm so happy to be able to share this outrageous phenomenon of an artist. imagine, if we really all went out on the skinny branches? would we have a critical mass, or reach a tipping point?
as always, major props to jay blakesberg for the snapshot from the berkeley summer cardinals show, 7/24/07 from the berkeley community theater (BCT). i'll work on learning how to embed this next. but for now, click on that link and you can stream that show. i feel like such a geek.
wow.

honestly

wow.

saw dso, (DARK STAR ORCHESTRA) a couple times this last week. at the great american music hall (GAMH) in sf. one of my favorite venues. what a sick room. love that place.

i love hearing the music of the grateful dead in san francisco. i dunno. it really works for me. isn't that a lucky thing for me! i feel so grateful for music right now in my life. it is definitely shining some serious light

you guys listening to my morning jacket or what? if you are not, what are you waiting for? thanks to matt and shannon for turning me onto them once upon a time.

so yeah. dso at the gamh. good stuff.

i took that pic the 3rd night. good to see all the cute sweet nice kind faces*

imeem~ savoir faire

imeem.com: i barely know what this whole site is. so far, i am pretty blown away, finding streaming studio songs of whatever you could possibly be looking for. i haven't taken the time to get super geeky, but i did find a track from back in the day, that got dragged out on saturday night in the desert by the little purple power man himself, prince. here's "7", if you wanna take it for a spin. won't sound like it did out there at coachella, but its a fun little track!

Crystal River

hard to keep up with, but just got a link to this Mudcrutch tune, Crystal River
it was a highlight from that show i saw at the fillmore a couple weeks ago. the jam is really authentic and lovely.

Day Three: Coachella (finally!)

dragged ourselves to the fest for the last day. missed so much stuff but who could care by that point.

gogol bordello: people were way into this band. sounded fine. per uj, i was just getting settled in and wasn't really ready/able to focus on the tunes. was getting ready for the jacket.

MY MORNING JACKET: god. do i love this band. YES!!! i really do. can't say enough how much i love them. here's a fun vid (audio is a bit funky but was such a sick time of day, sick set of music). i just really do love them by the buckets-full.

roger waters: there was no sense in trying to bounce around pre-roger waters, so went back to vip, got a ridic spot with some really hot new friends, by this rad lion statue, at the i.d. check point, just cuz it was the easiest place to tell people to meet us. god, did we rock that lion. ridic. it was high times at the empire polo fields in indio, during roger waters. great job, everyone who was surrounding the lion.

one of my highlights of the festival was during the beginning of roger waters second set. i had been pretty hell bent on catching adam freeland's set at the DO LAB during roger waters. figuring r.w. was so long, i would be ready for a break, plus i was just really into adam's groove. by the time i remembered that i wanted to hit adam's set, i was like, "fuck it. i'm not leaving roger waters." it seemed like universes away to make it to the DO LAB. that's when i spotted adam on the steps, getting ready to watch r.w. i laughed. i ended up giggling and watching the first part of the dark side of the moon with the most adorable blond little british guy (adam freeland) and it was FUN! he is a total doll, and adorably sweet and was giggly, too. it was a giggly time of day, i guess. anyways, adam was more charming and sweet than imaginable, and i laugh at the irony of "skipping his set" to watch roger waters, then watching roger waters WITH him. hilar. love that shit. funny funny funny. couldn't bare to ask him for a pic with me. was too in the mo'. here's one last vid and then this coachella review is OVA.
