01.12.12Happy Birthday, Suggs!When Paige and I first met in 1985, our music tastes were definitely criteria for our future friendship. She was a Madness, Echo & the Bunnymen, English Beat girl; I was Depeche Mode, New Order and anything KROQ was playing in Los Angeles before my move to the bay area. I think this photo was taken backstage at the Kabuki before it became a multiplex movie theater. We also saw O.M.D. there, and possibly some other bands I can't seem to remember. We were pretty lucky that there were plenty of shows in San Francisco and Berkeley we could get into ...

09.26.11Review: Fleet Foxes at The Henry Miller LibraryIt's been a few weeks, but the magic of The Fleet Foxes show at The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur still lingers in my mind. It was one of those special nights where you want to take in every detail, remember every sound, and hope that the band plays encore after encore. When I last saw the band perform at the Fox Theater in May, it was only their third performance of the new Helplessness Blues material. I knew the next time they came around they'd have months of touring experience with their new material and would be ...

09.12.11Early Returns: Fleet Foxes at The Henry Miller LibraryI'm off to bed, but here are a couple quick images straight off my camera from tonight's magical Fleet Foxes show at The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur. The band was in fine form, and their multi-part harmonies were as beautifully haunting as ever. A full set of images will be available in the next few days.

09.07.11British Journal of Photography Launches on iPadPhotography fans with iPads get something special this week. The British Journal of Photography has launched its official iPad app. The best part? The first issue is free! Issue 1 is a whopping 400MB free download chock full of interesting interviews and reviews. The feature that piqued my interest was an interview with Anton Corbijn. In addition, there's an interview with filmmaker Wim Wenders. The issue also contains reviews of several recent cameras including the Olympus Pen EP-3 and the Canon EOS 60D. There’s also a feature about photographers who’ve moved from still to moving images, and a look at how photojournalism ...

08.03.11Woodsist Festival in PicturesI spent last Sunday at the Woodsist Festival at The Henry Miller Library in Big Sur. It was super chillax, and the music was superb. My flickr friend Kirstie was there, and we sat on our butts and enjoyed music and occasionally took a shot or two. OK - maybe a few more. Maybe a thousand or so. Traffic was a bitch, so I missed White Fence and Sun Araw. But here's the rest for you to enjoy. Sometimes it was hard to tell which band was which, as they kept rotating players and instruments a la Broken Social Scene. It ...

07.31.11Anton Corbijn exhibition at FOAM in AmsterdamFOAM (Amsterdam Museum of Photography) is hosting the most recent photographic project of Anton Corbijn in an exhibition running until 1 September. Corbijn photographed some of his favourite artists like Gerhard Richter, Alexander McQueen, Richard Prince, Iggy Pop, Anselm Kiefer, Damien Hirst, Tom Waits, Peter Doig, Bruce Springsteen, Lucian Freud and Karel Appel.

05.23.11Short Film: Turn The Camera AroundTurn The Camera Around from Scott Allen on Vimeo. ” Yeah, I am like a big booster… These are people I really feel deserve more attention and deserve more support. There’s a real naive part of me that would like to think that talented artists can make a living off of what they do, but most of them don’t. If just giving them a little coverage could get them some better shows or bring them more attention… makes me really happy.” - Doug Coombe A friend pointed me to this wonderful little short film by Scott Allen about Detroit rock photographer Doug Coombe. ...

05.22.11Review: Echo & The Bunnymen at The WarfieldI'm a Bunnyhead. At various times I've tried to deny it. For a while I thought that it was just a phase of my youth, but alas, I am what I am. I first saw the Bunnymen perform Friday September 7th, 1984 at The Berkeley Community Theater. Over the past 25 years I've probably seen them perform 20 times in various incarnations, with and without Ian, Ian with and without the rest of the band, and as Eletrafiction. I've road tripped and flown cross country, crept and crawled under bleachers and even made a pilgrimage to Liverpool. I've gone backstage ...

04.18.11Coachella 2011 via Palo AltoI didn't go within 500 miles of Southern California this weekend, but I did attend the Coachella Music Festival. This year's fest was streamed live via three robust YouTube channels. Additionally, many of the individual performances and even individual songs were immediately made available via a Coachella video archive. It was awesome watching Coachella live on a 60" screen from my king-size bed in the air conditioned comfort of my own house. Was it the same as being there.? HELL NO. Was it a cheap and comfortable and fun alternative way to experience the festival on my own terms? HELL ...
