love is noise, love is pain

so one of the many sad things about not having the time to post in so long is i didn't have a chance to write about the various concerts i've gone to recently. i saw rogue wave at the fillmore. SO GOOD. they brought out john vanderslice. i saw los campesinos! at bimbo's. those kids really know how to put on a show. i feel like it if they hosted a dance party it would be impossible *not* to have fun. most importantly i saw THE VERVE at the warfield. i waited ten years to see them. they were so good i really have no words.





i have an album of photos i took here.

and now i share with you their badass new single + the video that goes with.

---> love is noise <---


The Verve - Love Is Noise

curious talk at the fotomat

i went record shopping yesterday and bought two albums i'd been lusting after and two albums on a whim. the two i bought on purpose were descended like vultures and asleep at heaven's gate both by rogue wave. then i stumbled across a bootleg of libertines songs called another boy, another planet that i just had to purchase. it had various live versions of songs plus some tracks from the babyshambles sessions--including adam green of the moldy peaches doing a cover of "what a waster." so then i also bought wincing the night away by the shins even though i'd only heard one song. it was a damn good song so i thought i'd be impulsive. it was worth it.



---> 10:1 - rogue wave <---

---> what a waster - adam green (libertines cover) <---

the first is in the commercial for the new ford edge.
