that old end of the year listy thing
ok, so – i haven’t been as involved in the new and hip tunes as i used to be… i’m trying to keep my ear open and all of that, but sometimes it gets a little difficult. i also managed to hear a lot of music that just didn’t quite manage to get me excited. [...]
Internet Kite Flying
It’s been a fairly hectic and busy week – or even month… here we are – almost at the end of april. Blink your eyes and it’ll be summer. right now, it feels like Friday, and that’s a good thing. Tonight it’s dinner with Karen & RJ – tomorrow, it’s Shelley off to Tax Class [...]
In Some Strange Video Daze
So, it’s Monday – February 25th – and the Black Kites just finished shooting our first video. The video, however, isn’t finished. I think we’ll have to wait a month or so to see the final product. There’s a little bit of post-production special effect type stuff going on, as well as the all important [...]
just a nother year end best of kinda list
so – i think next year, i’m going to move into some actual song posting here – (for sampling purposes only, of course) – but for right now, i’m just going to go for the old fashioned text list of my favorite releases from the year 2007. A Baker’s dozen. here ya go. 01: unkle – [...]
radio daze
Saturday november 17th, and black kites hit the airwaves. it was my 4th time playing live on the radio, but my first time at KXLU, so i was looking forward to an interesting time, and – it was. The band met up a little early to do a quick practice space level check and short [...]
not quite a blues explosion
so, another weekend in the big city has passed by – and we’re into a very warm november. not that i mind, i just find it a bit strange and disconcerting, especially being used to those colder northwest winters. anyhows, this ain’t no weather report, so here goes the weekend… First up, Friday the 9th. [...]
black kite echo
so, it was friday night in Los Angeles. the band meets up at the practice space, and heads down to the echo to squeeze in a little soundcheck before the show. Redd Kross is playing pretty much right around the corner at the Echoplex, so that’s probably where most of the crowd will be, but [...]
riyl jamc & brmc. qotsa tba. lol. =-)
ok – another night down, another show crossed off the list. one more to go, then we can refresh and get some new ones… like possibly the soulsavers. we’ll see. but after next monday, the next time i’ll be listening to live music, i’ll be playing it – at The Echo… but that’s a blogpost [...]
2 shows, 2 nights, 2 more 2 go…
So, Last Night… P. J. Harvey at the Orpheum Theatre. so nice. not at all what i was expecting, but definitely a wonderful evening. it wasn’t a rock concert, it was more of a solo performance. or perhaps a show. it wasn’t acoustic, but it had acoustic moments. it had many moments… Shelley had seen [...]
