Warning for the Austin crowd
If you go to La Zona Rosa this Sunday, you'll fall asleep involuntarily. So stay away unless there's someplace or somebody else you want to avoid. |

Peter Bjorn and John? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwcaQ3qJ88U The music's not much but that guy has outstanding hair. Somehow I'm getting listings for the Imogene Heap show the following Wednesday. I was trying to remember her name a while back. You know, the solo chick with the electronics? Priscilla Ahn? k.t. Tunstall? No, keyboard, not guitar. Regina Spektor? I might actually be in that neighborhood Sunday. Yikes! Regina Spektor is at Stubb's tomorrow. Stephen |

I saw the Revolting Cocks last weekend. Next week it's Buttercup. So far I'm managing to have fun. Those bands are not on the Musical Sominex List. Well, I gotta tell you about Mazda Miata 2012. Six guys performing with their backs to the audience. A 130 dB wall of sound without shape or form that lasted twenty minutes. The entire club emptied out into the street within two minutes. The owner of the club refused to kick them off the stage and let them play their entire set to an empty room. That was my first Austin musical experience. I guess I was expecting Lucinda Williams or Guy Clark. |

I'd love to see Spooky like that. I'm supposed to interview him but he's hard to pin down. |

Everything is way too loud. Portland had quite a few venues that had the right balance. JA devoted part of a column to horrid sound at the Continental Club. There's no reason for the Threadgill's outdoor stage to be amped up to festival levels, especially because the acts are often performing acoustic. OTOH, sound level ordinances can be too strict with music required to be quieter than the ambient sound level present in the venue. OTOH, there's cool stuff happening all the time, like seeing DJ Spooky before midnight in a restored old auditorium at UT. I'd love to see Spooky like that. I'm supposed to interview him but he's hard to pin down. He's at UT's Hogg Auditorium soon. You don't suppose his name is like the "Grey Ghost"? Stephen |

FF uses drums/rhythm to good effect, and they're not timid about banging their guitars. Are you stoned so early in the day? I like the art school vibe and catchy songs that seem to be all about going to the pub but live they're nearly inept. They're the poster boys for poster boys.

Such a tease. If you're holding back on my account, go ahead and share. I won't take offense no matter how stupid you might think my comment was. The source of the quote is no longer in high school... "El Perro Del Mar is the project of another Swede, Sarah Assbring..." say what? With a name like that, who needs a band name?
