Morrissey at Toyosu Pit 2023-11-28
On Tuesday, November 28th 2023, Lisa and I went to see Morrissey at Toyosu Pit. A few months prior, I saw that Morrissey would be coming to Tokyo. I really have not been listening to any music for the past decade at least – really since I started work at Amazon, it just hasn’t fit […]

2010 Summer Music Festivals
Day 2 Day 3 While on days 1 and 2 we took the full day, on day 3 we got a later start (exhausted?) and only started in the afternoon with the band to which I was most looking forward. Usually R. and I are Summer Sonic attendees. This year though, we got three day […]

Wilco at Zepp Tokyo
Last night R. and I went to see Wilco at Zepp Tokyo. Zepp is pretty large, but has a really good and clear sound system. We did a lot of waiting, and ended up with sore feet, but it was a good concert. They played for over two hours, which was great, but I realized […]

From SFO to Seattle
R. and I were in Seattle. Click “read more” to see a bunch of pictures and words about it. Seattle Space Needle Seattle Public Library, one of my favorite buildings in the city Monorail! I heard it put Ogdenville on the map! You can just make out the bus tunnel out the front […]

Bishop Allen at the Rickshaw Stop, San Francisco
I am a huge Bishop Allen fan. I’ve liked them for years now, and saw one of their first shows in New York probably 6 years ago. Any chance I get, I try to see these guys play live. They are huge fun. On Saturday (four or five days ago) I flew into San Francisco […]

Summer Sonic 2008 Tokyo Music Festival: Day 2
Beach Stage Entrance L. And I grabbed a quick bite to eat then went our separate ways. I really want to see Vampire Weekend so I went out to Marine stage. Since I’m almost out of money, I tried to use an ATM here but it said: can’t complete transaction because it is outside of […]

Summer Sonic 2008 Tokyo Music Festival: Day 1
I went to Summer Sonic today with L. It was great, but as I wrote last time, extremely tiring. I’m both looking forward to, and dreading, going back tomorrow. For those that are interested, here is a link to the Summer Sonic 2008 timetable. You can play along at home by choosing the bands that […]

Fuji Rock Festival 2008
A brief post to update you on what I’ve been doing lately. Things are incredibly busy right now — I’m moving to my new apartment tomorrow and am currently packing — so I am a bit overdue for an update. L. is a big fan of The Cribs, an indie rock trio from England. They […]

Arcade Fire Concert
I went to see Arcade Fire play Studio Coast in Shin-Kiba on Monday evening. It was my first time seeing Arcade Fire, and I didn’t realize that they were such a large band. There were ten members up on stage: two horns, two strings (like, violins), three guitar-like objects (bass, guitar, banjo, etc.), one or […]
