Arioso Moments

A mash note to music from a filmmaker. Be sure to check out my film blog and my old music blog. Still curious? You can learn more about me here.

Reopening this blog

I shuttered this blog a while back so I could concentrate on my main blog.  Still, I miss not having a place to collect my musical musings.  Therefore, I’m bringing this blog back to life.  I’ll be feeding it only my writings on music (no film stuff here).

And if you are reading this, be sure to say “hello”.

Shuttering this blog

As I post so infrequently, this will no longer serve as my primary music blog.  I’ll be using my film blog for all my music posts.

Thanks for the readership and I’ll see you on the other site.

Review: Frightened Rabbit @ Echoplex

First, fuck the Echoplex for 1) mixing the audio so it sounded best by the bar and not at the stage and 2) for having the house right speakers blown.

That said, FR rocked.  Intimate, passionate, thrilling was their performance.  They were spot on but not just re-producing the album live on stage.  They were giving the audience the experience they wanted, something the previous band (called something like “pinto beans”) couldn’t come close to doing.  The moment of the show came when Scott stepped past the mic and sang “Poke” to the front row.

It’s a pity these guys won’t be back in LA for another year.  Here’s hoping they come back to SXSW in March so I can see them there.

Bravo!

Review: The Dandy Warhols @ The Wiltern

You guys are much better at ripping off The Stones than Floyd.
