“100 Greatest Songs of the 90s” is the best clip show countdown that vh1 has ever done and I am glad I am procrastinating things to watch it. I’m really learning a lot. Like “California Love” is apparently less great than Spin Doctors and Freedom Williams from C&C Music Factory still remembers the lyrics [...]

I am saving full report for posting when I am not at pirate wireless but be happy for your Long Beach Crystal Antlers who are winning love from the wider world. Slot at a Volcom party apparently got footage of screemin’ Jonny Bell on MTV and various non-official shows got them on TOMBLOG.COM plus a [...]

Uh, yeah.

Apologies for the incorrect calendar listing for this show, but it’s with this that you know now that the 21st installment of Outsider Folk hits tonight at Zephyr.
Full disclosure dictates me to tell you that The District’s Kevin Ferguson will be playing this show, but the rest of the line up is [...]

Congratulations to Crystal Antlers on the lucky recovery of all their stuff two weeks ago, and thanks also to them for helping book this awesome line-up, which is yet another installment in Long Beach’s now-monthly Show(s) Of The Year.

First Fingerprints hip-hop in-store ever with Pigeon John, Quannum signee (Blackalicious, Lyrics Born) and member of L.A. Symphony, with a set also to be recorded live for surely cool future purposes.

Melissa Conser reports from that Liars / No Age show (last local No Age show for a while, for those tracking bands) last week with a piece she calls “I’m A Liar”:

The band’s upcoming benefit at Alex’s Bar will now benefit the Long Beach Homeless Shelter and Animal Rescue. More on the miraculous find from [...]
