It was Saturday August 4th, the second day of Lollapalooza in Grant Park and, though I had an assignment to shoot both I’m From Barcelona and Tokyo Police Club (which was starting 15 minutes later on the exact opposite end of Grant Park-a ten minute run given two heavy cameras and the light crowd for [...]
Yes, I did. It was after midnight which is perfect time for meeting him. After seeing him perform at the Metro with Grinderman (reviewed below), I stood outside the Metro talking with some friends. There were some other girls waiting for him in heavy anticipation, threatening to beat their chests in anguish if [...]
Well, I haven’t had one of these in awhile. I was recently at Schubas Tavern and waiting for doors to open for the Noisettes/Maccabees show last Sat. A friend and I were around before the set of London’s The Noisettes while they were playing Trivial Pursuit in the bar area and it [...]
It’s been a pretty packed week of music between Sunday night with Mice Parade, Tues. with Kristin Hersh, and last night with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and when I haven’t been at a show, working my day job, or getting minimal sleep, I’ve been frantically photo editing but I still haven’t quite been able to [...]
So…I’ve been having a fairly good time here in Austin (though…it actually in some ways makes me appreciate Chicago alot more despite the cold weather). Having flown in on Wednesday, Cinchel and I have seen a ton of thrift stores, some art, and of course music. Last night, we went to Emo’s to [...]
Ah yes finally I have a new awkward conversation to post fresh off the presses. And, you might say it was a day late as I usually try to post these on fridays but I prefer almost a week early. I had a lovely afternoon out with a couple of good friends, Gina [...]
Ah it’s been awhile…and I am a day late.
This awkward conversation took place at one of my favorite clubs, Schubas, on Thursday night when I went to see Dean and Britta of Luna fame (Dean Wareham was also in Galaxie 500 prior to Luna) Note: I will be posting a setlist, pictures and a review [...]
I probably shouldn’t blog when I am fuming hot mad (and trust me, I am really really angry) because it perhaps lacks a little perspective but I need to get this out before I sleep….
When someone goes to see a band, they want to hear the actual music. Now, this seems like it’s common [...]
Oh yes…that’s right…I have recently had an awkward conversation about music and I am blogging to tell the tale. First, something about me…if you have met me before even if it has been brief, you may have noticed I am fairly passionate and intense (these are what I call the nice adjectives others have [...]

Ive only ever done one other Awkward Conversation Around Music before but this situation merits it… I was at Schubas Tavern on Tuesday to see Ron Sexsmith and I was quite enjoying myself as I’ve been looking forward to this show for a long [...]
