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 ...

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 ...

04.16.10Volcanic erruption strands UK Coachella artistsIs there insurance for this type of thing? An Icelandic volcano has grounded all air traffic in the UK, stranding many Uk and Scandinavian music artists scheduled to perform at this year'sCoachella. Surprisingly, there has been no official word on cancellations from Coachella organizers. Bands like Echo & The Bunnymen, 2ManyDJS, Hot Chip and Fever Ray are yet to confirm they can make it to the California music fest, while Frightend Rabbit, Bad Lieutenant, The Cribs, and Delphic are among those stranded in the UK. Bad Lieutenant has already canceled their Friday night show at the Regency in San ...

02.22.10Bunnymen’s post-Coachella tour emerging: SF, Reno, NYCWith much whining, and fingerpinting, last fall Echo & The Bunnymen abruptly canceled their fall tour, blaming it on unreasonable 30% IRS withholdings. Well unlike me, evidently the IRS has given the Bunnymen a redo, and they are once-again set to unveil a “large” post-Coachella tour of the U.S. next week, although a trio of dates — April 18 in Reno, April 19 in San Francisco and May 1 in New York City — already have already gone on sale. While the band’s site simply says the Bunnymen will tour the U.S. following their April 16 slot at Coachella, on ...

04.30.09Deb Googe: Join Me For A Drink?So you're sitting at Six Arms on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Fresh from a Sunday afternoon nap, ready for an IPA and some pub grub. Some girl who looks exactly like Deb Googe from My Bloody Valentine walks by. What do you do? Well I would run down the street after her - and I did. I walked quickly out of the restaurant and loudly said, "excuse me!". She turns around and I ask "Is your name Debbie?". The answer is "yes" and I proceed to become more of a shaking, bumbling geek than ever. I told her that I'm a huge fan and ...

04.18.09Morrissey walks off stage at Coachella, cancels Oakland show and goes clubbing insteadWe just got word that tonight's Morrissey concert at The Paramount in Oakland was canceled. This is his third Bay Area cancellation, and the fans are not happy. Especially after showing up at a trendy club later in the evening. Why was the show canceled? Maybe he was attacked by a gang of pissed off photographers who'd had enough of his ridiculous photo releases. I'm guessing it was more likely there were too many summer BBQs smoking up the air in the neighborhood. In any case, Morrissey's diva ways are not winning any brownie points with fans this weekend, especially me. ...
