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...)

It really is a top notch recording for audience in ’81. I really love the track listing on this one.

I was at that concert, 17 years old then. I was very impressed to say the least. I went there for Bauhaus but I fell in love with the opening group: Echo and The Bunnymen, too. Although I never heard of them before! During the punk and post-punk era, most groups didn’t make much of a show as opposed to the supergroups and stadium-rockers of the 70’s. Then there was Bauhaus in that small Markthalle (room for an audience of a few hundred people)…
Greetings from Hamburg,

  You witnessed one of the most influential bands in their beginnings. What a time that must have been! A Monday night in hamburg in 81′! This music and new culture must have been so exciting in Europe back then… So new. Peter Murphy just got better as time went on… I love his early 90’s music as well… All Night Long… I am an American and used to work in Frankfurt and visited Hamburg in 1995… Punk and new wave was still strong and remember the graffiti on the buildings… Special place…
