And Courtney, are you *NUTS*?? LA has one of the best powerpop scenes in the world. Oh well, you aren;t the powerpop freak that I am. LA has great bands like Cockeyed Ghost, The Negro Problem, Sparklejets UK, and 3 balzillion other great bands. And I'm not even going to talk about Jon Brion's long standing friday night gig at the Largo, often times bringing in such guests as Aimee Mann and Jason Falkner. *sigh* LA has an awesome scene if you are into my kind of music. Other hot spots are the NYC/NJ area, the south (particulaly the Carolinas), DC/Baltimore, and to a lesser extent San Francisco, and Boston. speaking of which, something I recently posted to another list: I've decided I am going to stop complaining about the local music scene. I am going to make the best of what I have here in Tucson. I am going to seek out and cultivate new acts that I find. I will continue to go to touring acts in Tucson and Phoenix. I will bring other acts to Tucson. I will create my own scene. Just as one creates their own destiny, I will create my own scene. I will create my own happiness. Tonight after work I went to a local bar and saw some cool acts perfom. Some are friends of mine that have been in a band for a couple years now and are simply amazing. They are the afore mentioned Hector on Stilts. Then there was Al Perry, a Tucson standard, and Chris Burroughs, who I've mentioned on here before. Chris is very talented. He gets a wonderful sound, a very full, large sound, out of his guitar. Toe-tapping music too. Nice voice. Anyway, the whole evening was wonderful. Plus I am friends with the Arizona BMI rep who moonlights as a DJ on a popular radio station. Anyway. My point is, its not that bad when you immerse yourself in it. And that is what I am going to do. Its my new creedo. Its my new years resolution.

Well, thats a good way to be. And in a city the size of LA, I am very sure you have more crap bands than good bands. The only reason I know so many LA powerpop acts is because its my fave genre. I'm on mailing lists for it, and bands will often times seek me out as my show is 80% powerpop. Thats how I know a lot of the bands that I know. A lot of them seeked me out. >though i will give you the Negro Problem. i enjoy them. yay!! =-) Their sometimes-keyboardist is a friend of mine. His name is Adam and he has a band called Cockeyed Ghost which is also very good. A bit of good old fashioned rock and roll, mixed with a strong beach boys influence, and then add a good dose of modern powerpop, and thats Cockeyed Ghost. >i really wouldn't lump Jon Brion into that category though. he defies genre classification... he's more like Liberace without sparkles. an entertainer. i This is very true, you have a point. The fact that he has worked with so many different bands and artists as a session player, or even better, producer would lead one to believe that. In powerpop circles, he is somewhat of a demigod though. He was in the Grays, which created one of the finest records of all time-Ro Sham Bo. >must have failed to mention it in my last post, but Jon Brion played on saturday night with Rhett Miller for a good hour. lovely indeed. me and Flanagan at Largo are Oh wow, I wish I could have been there. I love the Old 97s, so a solo gig by Rhett would be awesome. Not to mention a powerpop demigod... >tight. or at least we will be. i'm working on putting together a KSCR/Largo... "thing." which is mostly just an excuse for me to get in free any night of the week. does that make me a bad person? no, it just means i'm po' but clever. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I myself am working my connections to get in free as many places as I can! Not because I don't want to pay, believe me, if I could afford it, I'd pay for the studio time for some of my fave local and indie acts! Thats how much I love them. But these days, I'm lucky if I have 8 dollars to spare for a CD. >i did figure out who from the L.A. scene that i would foist onto the rest of the listening public. Ideal Records' very own.....

Of course, not living in LA, I only hear about the good stuff, not the bad stuff. PEople wouldn't waste their breath describing in vivid detail about a show they went to that totally sucked if they could post about a show that was one of the best they'd ever seen. So it makes sense that I don't hear about the bad music in LA. I do know, that there is lots of good music there. I've got several musican friends in LA that are dying for me to come out and visit. Apparently, the powerpop scene in LA is, well, clique-ish. >it's because KSCR leans towards a lot of electronic and hip hop programming, but i'm far more familiar with that side of the local scene than anything. and i've found that it's better than most L.A. pop. interesting. >but you know how it is... the grass is always greener on somebody else's music scene.

Bare with me, now, I know it's long but it will be worth the reading. I had 2 finals tuesday (starting at 7am), Guster on Tuesday night, then 2 finals on Wednesday (starting at 7am). Or so I thought... I mistakenly had the wrong day for one of them, and so at 7am found out that I had missed my CIS 360!! My instructor was nice and let me come in just now and take it. On monday night I was up studying at midnight, and I won tickets from CD101 to see Guster perform live in their studio tuesday afternoon! I have never won anything from them, so this was fate, you see. Fast-forward to Big Room performance (at CD101): They asked the dozen of us there, to sit on the floor closer to them instead of far away in the seats. =====begin bentent ==== Brian the (bongo) drummer pointed to my bff shirt and gave me a thumbs up sign. Big points for brian. I found out later that all three of them are fans. ===== end bentent ==== The interview was hilarious. They played Barrel of a Gun (4,3,2,1), I spy (i love that one) and of course, the Airport Song. I have never heard anything better than that acoustic version of the AS being played 10 feet in front of me. My god can Ryan sing! He has the most beautiful voice. After the show, Brian approached me and introduced himself. When I said my name, he goes, "Did you e-mail me?" Remember when I posted his message two days ago? He remembered. And he even remembered how to spell it when he autographed my poster. Of course the guys have to deface themselves on the poster before they will sign it. You should see the poster. lol. I was so nervous but Brian really went out of his way. My friend Erica went with me and she loved it so much that she ditched her parents (well not really but...) and went to the evening show after all. Yeah Erica! Ryan was afraid that only 6 people would show that night to see them because it was finals week. try 6 times 1000000. It was packed. Next time they will definately have to open the balcony. ===== begin digression ======= After my cousin dropped me off (I was meeting Erica and my sister), I realized that standing next to me was Watershed, a local band I am a fan of. We chatted for a half hour before I ditched them (they understood) to squeeze up front. ==== begin bentent ==== Colin and Joe from Watershed complemented me on my bff shirt and said that back in '95 they were on a tour of which BFF opened for THEM! Colin said something like, "All the venues bitched and moaned when they saw the piano, but after they [bff] played, you just knew they were going to make it big." ==== end bentent ====== I talked with Colin for quite a while, and if Scott and I go to their show on New Years, Colin said we'll hang out. He's really nice. ====== end digression ======== PART II (The unbelievable concert) COMING SOON............
