Drab Majesty @ the Masonic Lodge at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on 12.06.19

Drab Majesty perform at the Masonic Lodge at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on 12.06.19.
I've realized I probably shouldn't over-promise, when it comes to these posts. Whenever I say I'm going to be upping the output, I end up vanishing in the ether of otherworld busy-ness. And when I choose to take a break, I can't seem to not post. Anyway, I wanted to get that off my conscious, …

Flashback: Poptone @ the Cloak & Dagger Festival at the Globe Theatre on 10.21.17

Poptone perform at the Cloak and Dagger Festival at the Globe Theatre on 10.21.17. Sorry for the annoying head that blots out Kevin Haskins on drums. But this is the best pic I could find from back then.
I haven't done one of these flashback concerts in a while. I've had too many current ones to prep and post, and I'm still behind on a few of them.

(Most of ) Everyone Else @ Pasadena Daydream at Brookside Park on 08.31.19.

A hot sunny afternoon on the Main Stage, a.k.a. The Oaks, at Pasadena Daydream at Brookside Park on 08.31.19.
Pasadena Daydream: The Line Up. This post covers the rest of The Cure’s cabinet of curiosities, better known as the Pasadena Daydream Festival, which took place at Brookside Park, essentially a golf course adjacent to the Rose Bowl, at the conclusion of last month.  It goes without saying that it's taken me awhile to get …

Death of Lovers’ “The Absolute” + Extras

Death of Lovers. Photo sourced from artist's Dia Record bio.
"The Acrobat" from the 2017 album of the same name. I'm going a bit retro tonight, as least in terms of sound and sensation. This one's called "The Absolute." It's the title track to the 2017 album of the same name, and it faithfully taps the tones and textures of the '80s neon underground and …
