BYE BYE
I’VE MOVED MY TUMBLR TO THIS SITE:
THICKFOGZINE.TUMBLR.COM
THICK FOG is a series of zines I’m writing/editing. Our first issue is coming out this summer!
Fuck whining, fuck shameless self promotion. I’m using this goddamn site for productivity!
So quit looking at archives of my embarrassing ex selfish fanboy and look at what I have to share about music, writing, and the lovely San Francisco.
xo. Adieu

oh my god the pitchfork lineup is finalized
Beach House, Wolf Parade, Robyn, Washed Out, Neon Indian, Major Lazer, Liars, Big Boi, The Tallest Man On Earth, Real Estate, jj, Surfer Blood, Why?, and Best Coast added.
And more, too. But these are the ones I really wanna see.
So going.
Crystal Castles are coming to the Fox Theater!!
August 6th.
I LOVE THE DUM DUM GIRLS SONG JAIL LA LA
Yeah. Come play in San Francisco on your tour with Girls
so, I’ve decided that…
it’s not worth going to washed out and small black and pictureplane tonight, because it’s later than i thought, and more expensive at the door than i thought. they double the price on the night of…and I have to save for wondercon, other gigs, and buying new records and stuff at thrift stores.
i was going to go mostly because I haven’t been to rickshaw stop, and I haven’t been to a full gig in a while.
but there are other times, such as tune-yards on 5/27, that I will be able to go.
I like chillwave enough but i guess not enough to drag me out to hear it live. no wonder when Ernest Greene had difficulties trying to transmit his sound from out of the bedroom. i guess it doesn’t really work, or isn’t very spectacular on a live note. if I’m going to see it live, then it will most likely be at a festival, and chances are that one of these three bands will play at pitchfork.
But! Here are the shows that I have planned for the season.
April 1st-Surfer Blood at Amoeba!
April 9th-Sonny & The Sunsets and The Sandwitches at Sonny Smith Art Exhibit Opening (Gallery 16)!
April 15th-Thom Yorke in Atoms For Peace and Flying Lotus at the Fox Theater
April 16th-Strip Mall Seizures at 21 Grand
April 21st-Camera Obscura and Best Coast at the GAMH ???
April 23 and maybe 22 or 24-Yo La Tengo at the Fillmore
(maybe something in between—such as Los Campesinos, The Hold Steady, Okkervil River, or Jakob Dylan with Neko Case)
May 26-The National (Maybe?) at the Fox
May 27-TuneYards at Rickshaw Stop
June 1st-The XX at the GAMH
JOANNA NEWSOM IS COMING TO THE WEST IN AUGUST! AND what I might do, if I’m lucky, is follow her down the west coast. hang out in vancouver, seattle, portland, sf, and la for her shows. if possible.
do you think it’s worth going to see washed out tonight?
washed out and small black and pictureplane tomorrow
yay. excited for all three.
THE XX AT THE GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC HALL
JUNE 1ST AND 2ND
I have no guilt about missing the Hot Chip show now.
This is the song that started my addiction to the second drug, The Milk Eyed Mender.
