Best Coast – When I’m With You (Live)

Best Coast, based on the strength of their 4-song ep, made an honorary “Bands to Watch” accolade for my year-end best-of 2009 list. Best Coast have a nice 50s girl-group aspect to their songs with the recordings drenched in fuzzed-out Jesus and Mary Chain-esque guitar. [JAMC, incidentally, are big fans of the 50s Phil Spector era too.]

Anyway, I was hoping to saunter into their recent show at Knitting Factory, a roomy venue, and buy a ticket at the door and was taken-aback by it being sold out. How can a band with a hand-full of singles sell out the Knitting Factory? The only plausible answer to that question is that TSOI’s favorable mention catapulted them into hyper-space.

Here is the best track off of their Make You Mine ep as performed live that night: “~~Feeling of Love~~” “When I’m With You”.

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...)

If the show was sold out, how’d you get in to get a live recording? Or do I not want to know…
