I remember seeing a listing for The House Of Love playing here in Los Angeles pretty recently, but I didn’t end up going. The extent of my House Of Love collection consists solely of the self-titled cd. I’m sure I should give them more of a listen, but I pretty much just skip to the “I Don’t Know Why I Love You” track and leave it at that. This song was recorded in the UK in 1989. Not the best quality recording, but a great song none the less.

The Monday Set: Shout Out Louds – Los Angeles – 5/23/2013
Stockholm's Shout Out Louds have just finished their US tour in support of the new album Optica with a two-night stand at LA's El Rey Theater. It was their first visit to the city in three years. If you haven't heard them before, their music can be described as often bleakly wistful lyrics completely camouflaged by bright, sunny tunes (More...)
Magnolia Electric Co. – Baton Rouge – 9/27/2006
The terrible news yesterday was of Jason Molina’s passing. Jason was the force behind the Songs: Ohia moniker (largely for his own solo work) and Magnolia Electric Co (which saw him working with a regular band). I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)
Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)
In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)
they actually have more than one self titled record, a la peter gabriel… and the one you have isn’t even kind of their best. look for the creation release. it is worth it. they are one of my five favorites ever (along with ride, the church, the bunnymen, and joy division for reference sake…)
Great band of the early indie scene… I saw them a couple of times at the Sheffield Leadmill and thought they had a different sound to everybody else at the time with my favourite song being “Christine”, though I slightly went off them when they sold out a bit? with “The Beatles & the Stones” etc…
I never read the comment before me and that’s the same sort of era I’m on about the beginning of Creation Records with bands like The Jesus & Marychain, Primal Scream, The Jasmine Minks etc…
‘CHRISTINE’ WAS/IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER RECORDED. PERIOD.
