| I finally found the Portishead DVD, it is a live recording from a show they did in Roseland, New York. Watching Beth sing "Roads" is intense, what else can I say, you need the visual. My appreciation for the band has reached a new level, hovering somewhere in the stratosphere. My favorite song is all of them. The pic on the right is a still I took from the video. It is linked to their official website. |

| Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, is now singing with her new band, Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions. How do you describe the music ? How many synonyms are there for excellence ? I rather recall my Mazzy Star Moment for you. I was in Florida a few years ago and went to a music store that had listening booths. I always look out for new music, and when I saw the cover of some strange band called "Something with a Star in it", I decided to give it a listen. ( from the looks of the cover artwork I thought it may have been a gothic band ) I listened to about 15 seconds of the first song, and about 5 seconds of the next 3 songs. Trampling the weak and knocking over a few small children, I ran to the Mazzy Star cd section and bought every cd they had. What a great day. I had found one of my favorite bands of all time. Hope's pic is linked to a great site dedicated to her music. I have a few live recordings and an interview with Hope Sandoval, if you would like to trade live shows or pics, email me ! Trade only !!! |
| My work often sent me travelling up and down the East Coast. On the night Miranda Sex Garden was playing a small club in New Jersey, I was sent to the one of my least favorite states, Connecticut. So, there I am all alone in Hotel Hell contemplating the possible results if I were to drive down to N.J. - late show, access to bar, long drive back, late for work the next morning, hang over, screwing up at work, getting fired. So off I went . It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Right before the show started, the stars walked through the audience and up to the stage. There was no introduction or sound check,, they just started playing ! The band played excellent and the beautiful, unearthly vocals coming from two seemingly earthly vocalists is quite awe inspiring. In the rare moments that I snapped out of my fear and wonderment, I witnessed my camera lifting up on its own and taking pics. MSG are doing some other projects at the moment, and their official site seems to be down. |
