I had a pretty busy Saturday. Worked on Cannes stuff in the morning and then went to the Brewery Art walk, downtown LA. Even though I'm not an art specialist, I love modern art and the Brewery artists always have some interesting pieces. I especially like the event itself, which caters to a cool crowd and not the usual art snobs that populate most exhibits....

Got a pretty shitty week at work and am glad it's the weekend. I've also started working on publishing our Cannes film festival coverage and Gus Van Sant's Last Days, a film inspired by the last days of Kurt Cobain, sounds very good. We also were able to catch Van Sant for an interview, which is cool.

You are right, I am lucky that I travel for work. It allows me to see a lot of great places for free. It also allows me to rack up miles so I can go other places (such as my Puerto Vallarta trip) for virtually free. I typically don't complain about it, but Friday was pretty bad.
Hmm, I wonder the same about FischerSpooner. I really enjoyed the performance aspect of the show last time, it was a refereshing break from just watching a bunch of musicians onstage.
I adore The Orb. I actually have an old styrofoam poster from a music store for Pomme Fritz hanging in my living room. I saw them many times when I lived in DC. I must say, though, it sounds like the show you saw would've been amazing. I think I'm jealous
Now you're going to totally laugh at me, I've yet to go to Amoeba. I keep meaning to go, but when I get up to LA I'm always with people that have no interest in it. Everyone tells me it would be my home away from home if I went. I may just have to make a special trip up.
Be sure to let me know how Audioslave is. I saw one of the first performances in the LA area after they got together and I was blown away. I'm wondering if they're still as good. I'm also curious to hear about the movie you mentioned in your journal, Last Days. I'm an underground Nirvana fan (I typically deny it)

Ah, looks like I won't get anything from Cannes untill tomorrow, which leaves me some time off tonight. Today was pretty shitty at work and I need to relax. Went to have diner with my friends in Long Beach last night, which was cool. They want to go to some club on Friday night but can't agree on which one to go to.

I thought the Dresden Dolls were amazing. I was completely mesmerized. Others seemed a little bored. I guess it's all in what types of music interest you.
I was at the FischerSpooner show at HOB. We were probably in the same audience. I was floored by their performance. It seemed more like a theatrical performance than a concert.

It's Monday night and am enjoying my last few moments of peace before the Cannes film festival zoo kicks off. While the writers will be enjoying all these great screenings of the new works from Cronenberg, Wenders, Van Sant and Von Trier, I'll be slaving here, publishing our coverage. Fortunately the LA film fest is coming up next month and I'll be the one having...

Are you kidding? I didn't know they did a warm-up show. Now I'm bummed. I would've gone to that. I've been contemplating going to see Peter Murphy at HOB, but like you I haven't listened to him much since Cut You Up. I think I'll take the money for that concert and go see Kasabian or Fischer Spooner instead.
As for NIN, the new material sounded incredible live. The show really blew me away. I saw them 5 years ago in an arena and I was not impressed, so my expectations were pretty low. The smaller venue may have helped this time around. I also really enjoyed the Dresden Dolls opening the show. If you hear anything about more SoCal dates be sure to share!

So I ended up not going to Coachella, because everybody flaked. Hopefully I'll catch NIN, Bahaus & New Order on tour these following months.
I went to see Irish band the Wonderstuff at the Galaxy Theatre last week. It was quite depressing as the venue was almost empty. Their new material isn't as good as what they could do a decade ago, but that was...

If you can catch NIN in San Diego, you should. I went to Vegas to see NIN at The Joint (instead of Coachella because all my friends were flaking also). It was an amazing show.
Did you read the reviews of Bauhaus at Coachella? I was quite intrigued and it's one performance I am sorry I missed.

Que se passe-t'il ? Well, last week I had a cocktail party at my place to celebrate my Bday. It was a blast and I got pretty wasted. But my fuckin' neighbours kept complaining and they sent to my place the security guard, then the manager of the apartment complex and finally the cops. I couldn't believe those fuckin' snitches, especially since I'm harldy ever...

I've been pretty busy lately, which is a good thing as routine bores me. Last Saturday, I went to get a tattoo at True Tattoo in Hollywood and am very happy with the result. However, the 2 girls I was supposed to go out with stood me up on Saturday night and the other 2 plans I had sucked. So I didn't end up doing...

c'est vrai, ben stiller et owen wilson sont geniales ensemble, mais j'apprecie aussi ben stiller tout seul. par exemple dans le film "duplex". tu l'a vu?
en italie il y a une bonne scne punk, il y a les Punkreas, les Derozer et beaucoup de petits groupes trs bons. mais beaucop d'eux abandonnent l'italien pour chanter en anglais, meme s'ils ne le connaissent pas bien.
pourquoi tu pense que le punk en francais est bizarre?
tu peux me conseiller quelque groupe qui chante en francais?

tu dois nous montrer le nouveau tattoo dont tu parle dans ton dernier post (on dit comment post en francais?)

I've spent a lot of time hanging out with my friends on 2nd street, in Belmont Shore, Long Beach lately. I'd like to move other there and get closer to the beach but I have to figure out if it will be worth it or not to move.

Last Thusday night, I went to see the Decemberist at the Henri Fonda in Hollywood. Even though, I had hardly heard of them before going--my friends had asked me to go with them--I had fun because they are good musicians and pretty original.

Last week was pretty fun: I had a cocktail party at my place on Friday night, saw somebody I hadn't seen in a while and went to the Razzies ceremony on Saturday night--after that I headed to the Cat & the fiddle on Sunset and then to that 80's bar which looks like a hair salon (I don't remember the name.)

It's definitively not a touristic thing--you get to see the Charles Manson massacre house--yes the one where Reznor recorded The Downward Spiral--Bela Lugosi's last apartment, which is even more depressing than his "film location" house in Tim Burton's Ed Wood....
