Burns is opening. Equally fun.
Only downside is that ?uestlove is spinning at the same time tonight at The Republic. Last night was double-booked, too! Saul Williams at HOB, or drive to see Why? in Baton Rouge. Tough decisions, man. I’m really going to miss all this when I leave NOLA.
Going to see Pretty Lights tonight @ HOB! Major excitement.
He rocked the boat at Forecastle Festival in the ‘Ville.
Lil’ Wayne - No Ceilings Mixtape - DOA
Just got off the phone with my Dad…
Dad: “Hey Dev, I’m watching this program… I think it’s on MTV. It’s about a musician from Louisiana, about how he’s given back to the community and how popular he is there. I think his name is ‘Little James.’”
Me: “Lil’ Wayne, Dad?”
Dad: “Yeah, that’s him.”
JUSTICE!!!
My VooDoo Highlight! Tonight! Excite! Quite Right! What a site! Gives me fright! I just might… keep it trite. Dress in White! (with a glow-in-the-dark cross on my back. teehee!)
I meant to post this video one the other day. Another instance of not-quite-scary in any real sense, but appropriately eerie and haunting, and well within my running dark-woods motif…
A timely piece of “investigative journalism.” And what’s with the History Channel’s 6+ hour marathon of UFO Hunters?
Seriously? (<—- I use this guy in my Science class with my kids. ^_^)
MSTRKRFT M.I.A.
So the show was a no-go. :-( Something about missing a flight, or a flight being late or delayed… (?) Whatever the reason, we didn’t hang around long, and I consequently cancelled my sick-day plans for today and went to school instead. On the up-side, after wrangling with the manager for my refund, he told me that they might be returning Nov. 11th… That would be excellent, considering this is the fourth time that I’ve narrowly missed these guys in concert (first Louisville, then NYC, and finally DC). But the claim seems dubious to me, as no one — the venue, the band, the ticket distributer — have the show listed. Alternatively, Deadmau5 is performing Nov. 11th at HOB, so I’ll probably hit that up, instead.
As I’m mentioning older (so to speak) “classics,” I might as well post this Bat for Lashes, though pretty much any of their newer videos would fit well with the general mood and tone of this collection, as well. This one, however, has the added of bonus of fitting with my mask theme, and hey, wasn’t I just mentioning Donnie Darko? That makes twice, now, John. (He’s going to kick my ass.)
With Basia and Timber/re and Laura Marling, I’ve also got this woods motif going, so I’ll also throw in this remixed cover (yes, there’s the original, then the cover, then the remix of the cover) of The Cure’s A Forest. (For those who don’t know, I’m a pretty big Cure fan.) The original would also fit very well into this video procession… [but instead here’s an alternate, earlier version on a weird-ass French music show. lol.]
