late nights

how we keep ending up at Rocket Bar? not too sure. but a late night out that includes killer fashion, oooodles of PBR, and legthy stories of brent's recent escapades - not too bad.

new tunes Tuesday. Round 18. Janelle Monae and beyond.

super quick while i pull myself away from work/listening to this on repeat. CHECK THIS OUT. my friend sent me an invite to the upcoming Of Montreal show at the 9:30 club and mentioned the Janelle Monae was the opener. i checked her out to help decide if it was worth seeing OM yet again. while they're an odd billing together - her soulful, hip-hop, almost punky feel, and their theatrical, suuuuuper psychedelic pop sound - she seems like she'd ROCK live.

-

i only got a few songs in and got hooked on this one. it is MAD good.

another crob mob! i spent all day saturday helping out at Chris and Sara's Maple Avenue Market farm in Great Falls - a stunning piece of land owned by an inspiring couple who left their corporate career jobs to pursue a life in farming, providing local, healthy food to their neighborhood and local schools. they've got their own farm that you can visit and volunteer at any monday, and also their own store and funky truck where they sell their produce along with partner farms' goods and specialty foods.

and i met super cool freelance photographer crystaline randazzo. she has gorgeous galleries from various travels up on her site, and also gave a shout out to the crob mobbers on her blog! be sure to check her stuff out.

hello, steve.

new tunes Tuesday. Round 17. Mayer Hawthorne

an ode to (baby) Krishna(n) because it's his birthday! well, yesterday. sadly it did not coincide with M Street's new tunes Tuesday. but i will share with you his latest obsession. we reenacted this video to celebrate last night.

impressed.

Here We Go Magic.
i went into this show not really knowing what to expect, but hoping that they brought some more energy, depth, excitement than their first album of mellow songs. their second album PIGEONS is good. very good. but nothing more. i had this feeling, though, that they would have some more power live. and if they could impress/play with the likes of Grizzly Bear - they're a band worth checking out.
-
and it was definitely worth it. they had noise, energy, passion and a fun, dancey psych-folk feel. and the Luke Temple babe factor didn't hurt either.
-
ALSO! my theory is reconfirmed! chick bassists? all of them are HOT. very HOT.
-
okay, so check out one of their best numbers of the night. so far, no good live versions floating around out there, but this one is solid.
