Day 137: Time Is Not Given and Time Is Not Taken

art music videos

This blew my mind a little bit. Okay, a lot.

Amanda Palmer + high school drama kids + Neutral Milk Hotel = Um, is that Shia LeBeouf in there as the humble emcee? (And how awesome is it that I spelled “LeBeouf” correctly on my first try?) My senior class play was Cheaper By the Dozen, I think, and I don’t remember a frigging thing about it. If I went to this high school, I would not forget this show for a long, long time.…

Day 123: Bonnie Raitt is a Badass

Indulge me one more cross post (which I guess isn’t even technically a cross post since I’m just linking, but whatevs, I’m exhausted). One of the things I never thought I’d be able to say is “Snoop Dogg’s entourage spewed champagne on me,” but, well, life is full of surprises. (I was too busy protecting my lens to get a photo of said spewage, so, in its stead, please enjoy this photo of Snoop strutting.)…

Day 122: The Reverend

I hate to keep crossposting, but I am so tired and I’ve said what needs to be said over at the BSMF blog. Al Green at BSMF from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. I didn’t realize until late Saturday that my media pass would get me into the photo pits. Last year, my basic media pass only got me to the media trailer; you had to have additional clearance to shoot artists from the pit (which…

Day 112: Minglewood

Usually Minglewood sports these neat purply black lights that kind of hurt my eyes as I pass, but tonight they were rockin’ the clown lights. I dig, a lot. Still never been there for a show. I thought for a long hard minute last night about buying tickets to the MGMT show in June, but then just as soon as I could think about that, I decided on a lark to go to Bonnaroo with…

‘This is your time, this is your life’

Today’s anthem (sorry the video quality is so jankleicious): If there is a God (and I have been good enough), ze will reincarnate me as Kathleen Hanna next time around. Or at least let me make out with JD Samson a little.

‘Please don’t push me aside’

Goddamn, this is good: 1:26-2:03 is my favorite part. That buzzing bug and the lyrics are perfect: In between What I find is pleasing/And I’m feeling fine Love is so confusing/There’s no peace of mind If I fear I’m losing you/It’s just no good, You teasing like you do HT: Randal’s shared items

‘I want to get inside you … and die’

Happy Monday, you magnificent suckers. You’re probably reading this while I’m fast asleep (it’s my Sunday morning — BOOYAKASHA) because I have set this post to, uh, post automatically at 8:15 a.m. Actually, I had my garçon’s intern set it to post, but just because he was all, “You never let me do anything fun!” Sheesus. Anyway, I heard this song for the first time in a long time yesterday (HAHAHAH, today, really) and remembered…
