80’s Weekend #9

Violent Femmes headline the ninth edition of "80's Weekend" at the Microsoft Theater on 02.15.20.
For my first proper post this month, I'm going to take a step back to the past, to explore that magically nostalgic era known as the '80s. It's not the first time I've attempted to do so.

I've been in a bit of a mood today, so I've been seeking something uniquely tuned to my tunneled outlook of fading light and tenuous balance. That's when Penelope Trappes stepped out from the Spotify shadows and into my churning, burning mindset.She's a Londoner, Aussie-born, and specializes in pinpoint-focused melodies of extreme minimalism and infinite …

The Jesus & Mary Chain @ the Hollywood Palladium on 12.07.18

The Jesus & Mary Chain perform @ the Hollywood Palladium on 12.07.18,
Now that I've posted Nine Inch Nails, I've got to do the same for openers The Jesus & Mary Chain, who've been supporting NIN on the "Cold and Black and Infinite" tour. It only seems fair. And if J&MC do anything crazy for tomorrow's final Los Angeles date, I'll add another post.It's interesting that J&MC …
