I remember where I was when the news broke to me that Jhonn Balance, much beloved singer and co-founder of the experimental music band, Coil, passed away.

This was the kind of mood I was in this morning, waking up to a freezing-ass new apartment, as eyewitnessed by my new romantic interest, Bob’s, iPhone:

Basically, I wanted to try and come up with a master list of every single (God willing) concert, instore appearance, comedy show, and festival show I’ve ever seen in my entire life. At one point in [...]

ATP Festival just announced that My Bloody Valentine is headlining their New York installment of the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival happening September 19-21, 2008. Elsewhere, I’ve read that MBV (according to their booking agent) is planning to play in 6 to 8 U.S. cities in September. I hope that they at least perform [...]
