louise on the left (coast)

Last night's concert featured not one, but three astonishing artists under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl. It was, trust me, a great night of music . But, I am no critic. No reviewer. I'm just a grateful tag-along as another reviewer's "date." Don't expect any great musical insights from me, for anything along those lines you'll have to see what you think of my husband's review of the show today in The Orange County Register. Anyhow -- This is just my own take in my remedial, amature blog which sports about 20 hits a day. Max. So, here's the micro-amateur-review. It was dazzling. We had amazing seats. MGMT, who opened, was terrific. (I'm a huge fan of this group, so I was walking on air from their first familiar notes.) Following their set, Spoon came out played a really mesmerizing, lengthy set, as well. They were really great, too. I finally heard more of their work, last night, meaning that now I need to seek and devour

Oh, hi. Woke up, remembered that today is Sunday, September 7th. 2008. Made a pot of coffee then slapped my forehead realizing, my God! I still hate Sarah Palin! Anyhow.

I know this doesn't nearly qualify as a blog entry, but I just want to say how much I love LCDSoundsystem and MGMT . Can't get enough. I actually didn't mind my 4+ hours road trip to USC (To see my ENT & Rheumy about my that thing on my face some people run air through. I think it's called "a nose," but mine works differently.) from Seal Beach yesterday due to these CDs...and a thrift fix from my not-so-secret Catholic Charity store. I'm not nerdy enough to figure out how to put their music up here to listen to. (Someone geeky please tell me how.) But if you click here to go to LastFM.com you can listen to their music free . OR to see and hear some of the latest from MGMT: Click Here! You. Will. Not. Be. Sorry. Ps. My husband kindly informed me that my cd cover here is actually posted sideways. Being new to this blogging process, I knoweth not how to "flip the image." If it really bothers you, then be a good geek and tell me how to f

MYSTERIOUS LEPRECHAUN SIGHTING! Gotta to check out Dooce's Tuesday Night Videos. All I ever get are pesky garden gnomes. Click here for YouTube TV News segment on the mysterious green guy. BTW: I n Dooce's blog post she puts up a couple of hilarious clips, one of which isn't funny, it's just great: It's of MGMT, who, I think, is rumored to be opening for Beck at Hollywood Bowl.
