more to come?

I’ve felt bad, leaving a negative review on the top of this here blog for the past few months.  I haven’t softened my stance on Let’s Go Sailing - their live show works better than benadryl.

M.I.A. was in town a few weeks ago, and the line at the new venue EchoPlex (underneath the Echo) was well over 300 people, waiting for a sold out show in the hopes that capacity might increase.  Come to think of it, I have no idea why they were waiting, and we took off.  The new album Kala is amazing and I listen to it frequently.  That is all on my MIA obsession.

Though, in honor of her baile funk vibes, I scored some tickets to Bonde De Role next month, also at the EchoPlex. The story goes that Mia’s boyfriend and collaborator, Diplo, has signed Bonde to his label.  I don’t know what to expect from the show, but am hoping to catch some rad Brazilian opening acts, in addition to hearing a few of my fav’s from the Bonde.
