Very cool group/video I actually think I discovered before Pete did!

So, my husband, Pete, (or "Pedro" of Pedro And The Watcher at Orange County Register) who usually kicks my ass when it comes to finding cool new music finally was scooped by me in our house.

He has a gig teaching journalism in Long Beach and said the some of his students started wearing T-Shirts with this group's name on it, but he hasn't heard them yet. (Well, I did.) So, for once I get to introduce something to him!

Now that I know who they are I guess we missed a chance to see them as he said he thought they may have come through town recently, in any event, it took Prince at Bamboo Nation (As usual.) to get me to really take a look at these guys (Sorry, honey. I have a new gay bfriend. & I haven't even met him!) but this video is great. Yeah, I really like them, too.

If you've never heard them before check them out...They're different.

How often do you hear that?

Take THAT, Pete! :)

...I usually feel the same way about my friend Jonny. (Hatesexy.) I'm usually like, "Hey, have you heard of this band--they're great!" And he's like, "Uh, yeah, I knew them when they were doing Bandfinger covers in garages in 1997."

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
