can we pause a moment to say if Idina Menzel doesn’t shut the hell up soon we’re all going to go insane? After wailing through Wicked we now get to hear her squelching us to ‘Let it Go”..girl, you gots to go
Comedian Margaret Cho is taking action, she will be busking all over San Francisco in the following weeks as part of a campaign to feed the homeless, and on Wednesday, she got some help from Bob Mould!
The week seems to belong to Miranda but I haven’t had the time to give the Ninja’s the listen they deserve. The other biggie for me is The Shoe, a quality duo who actually improvise their songs, and who have maybe thrree strong songs ontheir new album.
The Walkmen are on indefinite hiatus, so the lead singer Hamilton has corralled some superstars of indie for his solo album, and it sounds quite good (the instrumental break works like a hook), and he has an arresting voice, catchy but limited – B
From start to finish, the music was loud, upbeat and very melodic, but played with a hardcore energy and a punk ferocity. The guitars – actually there was only one, the other one was a bass – were powerful and Bob Mould was getting the biggest sound ever of his instrument.
I don’t dislike Fucked Up by any stretch of the lexicon, but I am not the fan everybody else is and I kinda wanted to go with Bob Mould but… I dunno, I don’t love Bob as much as I might either. What else? Ethan Johns is Laura Marling’s buddy so gets a shout out as such. New 50 cent? I wasn’t crazy about the single. Echo? Meh…
The nature of coming out about anything is fraught with dangers unknown. Whether it is real or not, whether you are the same person or someone else, simply expressing a truth about yourself is scary and it is one thing to come out to your friends, family, business colleagues.
