Loads of Lenode Back Online and... On the Radio?!?!?
I know, I know. I promised regular posting. What’s been keeping me away:
(1) Some heavy family stuff
(2) My new DJ gig over at KUSF
I did my first shift last Sunday, from 12 a.m. to 3 a.m., and I’ve got another one coming up this Sunday at the same time. To give you an idea of what I played: free-folk, psychedelic stoner rock, experimental jazz, ambient, good old fashioned indie rock, etc. etc. etc. More details in the Sunday section.
Thursday… Didn’t get your ticket to see Beck’s sold out show at the Fillmore? Or perhaps you traded it for a ticket to one of the sold out Radiohead shows? Either way, I can offer up one suggestion: Indie pop from Thee More Shallows, screaming heavy rock (with organ) from The Mall and Anticon DJ Odd Nosdam filling in the blanks. At $8 in advance or $10 at the door, it’ll be probably be a little cheaper than buying a Beck ticket outside the Fillmore, although the Beckstravaganza is worth a hefty cover charge, in this man’s humble opinion. Plus, Jamie Lidell is opening, and he puts on a very entertaining show in which he samples himself beatboxing and making a variety of noises and incorporates that into his pre-progammed beats over which he sings. Good stuff, good stuff. Too bad it’s sold out. And
Friday… If you’ve never seen Jurassic 5 do their thing live before and have $40 burning a hole in your pocket, I have a treat for you: They’re playing at the Mezzanine along with Dilated Peoples, The Beat Junkies, Supernatural and DJ set from Shortkut Cut Chemist. That there’s quite the hip hop lineup. If you’re looking to spend less money on cover ($8) and on drinks (I forget how much a beer will run you at Mezzanine, but I’m sure it’s more than they’ll be at this show), you could head on over to the Hemlock and see some Brits doing country in the form of The Country Teasers. Openers E-Zee Tiger & 16 Bitch Pile Up will get the weekend started right with danceable psych noise rock and just plain noise, respectively.
Saturday… Didn’t get your ticket to see Mogwai’s sold out show at the Fillmore? Or perhaps you traded it for a ticket to see Beck’s sold out show which you traded for a ticket to see one of thee sold out Radiohead shows? If you pulled that one off, I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want first? Bad news? The bad news is that when I saw Mogwai a few weeks ago, they fucking ruled. Which was refreshing because the previous time I’d seen them they had disappointed. Not this time. They post-rocked my freaking socks off. So quiet, so loud, then so quiet again, then so loud again. Now for the good news: You’ve got Radiohead tickets and you can decide whether to see the show or sell the tickets on eBay and make like a 5,000% profit. That’s about all the good news I’ve got, though, since even folks that are going to Mogwai can make the only show I’m posting about on Saturday. Its Peanut Butter Wolf playing a free set from 6:30 to 7:30 over at Canvas Gallery out in the Inner Sunset. This guy’s vinyl weighs a ton. Or so he claims. But he did drop a kick ass mixtape called “My Vinyl Weighs a Ton” and he does know how to rock a party.
Sunday… I cannot in good faith advise you to go out on Sunday night, because then you might miss my show. Actually, I just don’t have anything to suggest for you. So get your BBQ on, get your drink on, and then get your caffeine on so you can stay up ‘til 3 a.m. and hear my show in its entirety. Don’t forget: 12:00 a.m. Sunday night/Monday morning on KUSF 90.3 FM or you can listen on iTunes in the Radio – Public section.
Wednesday… Great show at Great American: Mono/Pelican co-headline with Tarentel opening. If you missed the Mogwai show, you’ve got another chance to post-rock out with your post-cock out: Mono. The Japanese quartet like to start there songs very, very soft and let them grow very, very loud. Think more My Bloody Valentine style sheets of sound, especially in the live setting. Pelican does beautiful, instrumental metal with post-rock influences. Local rock group Tarentel has done a very different set every time I’ve seen them ranging from harsh noise rock to mellow experimental rock, but its always been good. I think I’ll probably bust out a set on my show with these three artists to get you all worked up for the show.
