From the fine folks who brought you The Rosen Association, we now have Bird Museum. I dig the minimal warm sounding electronics and the vocals sound great. Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have such talented friends in this city? Can’t wait to hear more!

I spent the last five days in Los Angeles having an amazing time, which included seeing Portishead live at The Shrine. It was a great venue that reminded me of The Aragon, but smaller and with better acoustics. I’m so glad I decided to go see them. They sounded great as a 6 piece, Beth’s voice hasn’t changed in all these years, and a clear highlights for me were “Glory Box” and “Wandering Star”, and well everything from the “Dummy” album. “Sour Times” sounded like it was played a bit faster than usual and with less instrumentation, yet still incredible to hear live. The live video mixing with the mutliple on-stage cameras was perfect as well. I could go on and on but yeah, check out this video from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and see for yourself.

Sitting on my bed at the Westin in Houston I came across the new video by The Horrors for their song “I Can See Through You”. It’s reawakened my love of the mirror/ kaliedascope effect and reminds me, and everybody, that The Horrors can do no wrong. It’s a trippy and beautiful 2001-esque ride that only makes the song better. Directed by White Rabbit. Watch it. Love it.
