UPDATE:
It was Jamie and Angela Seo, guitar and a keyboard respectively. The show was good, they played Dear God,… stuff and some oldies-but-goodies (ObGs). Despite the horn’s size, they didn’t interact or even look at the audience much. Kinda felt like a hit-and-run performance, with a lot of ppl studying had no idea where that xiu xiu sound was coming from, it was hella loud.
you can listen to a little clip

ORIGINAL:
Xiu Xiu is coming through tonight. Excited to see them, they really defend their musical niche… lyrically disturbing, often sonically terrifying – with frantic drum machine and screeching/discordant electronics, and beautiful. You have to be in some mood.
‘Clowne Towne’ or ‘I Love the Valley OH!’ off Fabulous Muscles are accessible tracks.
The opener, tUnE-yArDs… dunno. I read a Micachu comparison, with sparse/tribal beats and octave-shifting vocals, aand ukulele, sweet.

Yacht is coming to town this weekend. To the small middle of nowhere, so sweet.
I’m excited. Trying to describe the music to a friend earlier, I remember using fun/self-empowering/electronic. I think I’ve heard crazy/experimental in regards to live performances, who knows! Check his interview with the setup
I’m most familiar with ‘… Your Magic Is Real’, and the newer ‘See Mystery Lights’
PS. Jona Bechtolt was one half of the group The Blow, so like duuuh
New Cell: Samsung Intensity
February 24th, 2010I got a new cellphone, Samsung SCH-u450.
It was cute, free, and pleasantly minimal in functionality… I just love the keybad, love the feedback of a button, love texting like a 14yo girl. Read the rest of this entry »

January 31st, 2010new blog!
January 10th, 2010So, I’ve imported both my LiveJournal (LJ) and my Blogger. All posts set to private for now. I’ll work back through them and update/organize metadata.
I’m guessing WP ‘category’ ‘tags’ and ‘pages’ will be the tools to delineate posts into topic-filtered sub-blogs…
UPDATE: I’ve since moved my wp.com blog to inordinates.com/blog by way of wp.org installation. So Excited!
