Knight Stalker's remix of the chillwaver's "Still Sound" off his new record Underneath the Pine.
Toro y Moi is playing at the Great American Music Hall soon. March 24th with Braids (they're Canadian so that's good) and some kids from Ohio known as Cloud Nothings.
At one of the best venues in the City, it's going to be heavenly.
Anyone else notice the chillwave theme? I'm such a sucker for it. Soon enough I'll be spouting about the Neon Indian show in May...oh wait. True story.
Me: They're kinda my jam. R: I wouldn't be going around calling it your jam. Me: Shit, it's happened enough you could call it my greatest hits collection.
This Thursday in Oakland.
Roger and John Taylor(above) of Duran Duran signed my vinyl copy of Rio today at Rasputin's in Berkeley for Record Store Day. Big thanks to the pushy, screaming woman behind me. It was lovely.
Duran Duran is at the Fillmore tonight in SF, before heading off to play a slot at Coachella tomorrow...
Call it an off day, hell, an off week.
There's been a handful of new-ish to new tracks I've been wanting to get stoked on enough to post here, but I'm at a loss.
I'm absolutely broke (yet fabulous!) so no outstanding events this weekend to report on. To top it off, the weather sucks. You know, in that way only a Bay Area summer can suck it up, where you wonder, "this is what it must be like living in Seattle year-round."
It's cool, we're still in California folks (well, at least us fortunate ones), so there's that.
Here's an ode to the feeling, to the near rarity, of a warm San Francisco night.
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
obviously you know which one would be me.
