So Lonely, Hold Me 'Til Sunrise


If you were out this past week, you might have caught us sneaking around performances by The Autumns, David Garza (twice), Fiona Apple (twice), Mirah, The Sharp Ease, The Happy Hollows, Great Northern, Patty Griffin (twice), In Waves, Dave Palmer (twice), Rock Insider's "Indie Schmindie" and Upground. But if you stayed home, well, then you probably didn't see us because we stopped stalking you ages ago. After an event-filled week like that, one might think we'd be too lazy for another. Negro please...

Aimee Mann's going anti on you Valentine-loving fools with two sold out shows at Largo tonight and tomorrow. On our recent outings to Largo (in which Fiona debuted one of the most strangely beautiful love songs we've ever heard), we did get some word on who would be the special guests for these special evenings, but we don't love you that much so you'd best be getting in line right about now... Time to break out those rare Throwing Muses white labels when Kristin Hersh's in-store tour comes through town on 2/17 at Amoeba. Her highness recently released the stunning Learn To Sing Like A Star, which features some of the most jaw-dropping songwriting of her career... The incomparable John Wiese gets noisy over at The Smell on 2/17 with no-shirt dancefloor kings Captain Ahab... Two good CD release shows are happening at the Hotel Cafe with The Low Stars (2/19) and Dead Rock West (2/21) while Kissing Cousins celebrate their CD release show at the Echo on 2/20 with the stellar lineup of Wait Think Fast, Nico Stai, and The Monolators. We don't even have to mention that the show is free since everyone was going to be there anyway, right?... In the ongoing hype battle between Cold War Kids vs. Silversun Pickups, CWK tapes Jimmy Kimmel on 2/21 and plays two sold out shows at the El Rey (2/21) and the Troubadour (2/22) while the Pickups are taping both the Tonight Show (2/19) and Carson Daly (2/20) and opening for Snow Patrol at the Gibson (3/2). Indie elitist contempt is at an all-time high.

Oh, by the way, the east coast is freezing right now. Send them your warm thoughts.

Aimee Mann - "Winter Wonderland" (MP3)
