Liveblog of Elsa's Show!

...from when I tuned in.

totally LOVED BSS and Cat P. miss u 2005! that was a good year for alternative tunes, before the scene like "blew up." also, cant find my bss album. do you have it?

coco rosie is like, ok (ie boring and dumb), and "by your side" song blows. shine shoes? fuck that. just saying. prollz just jealz that one of those broadz was boning Dev for a while.
also hilarious (?) that you played a PSA for anti-women-abuse after that song ("I'll wear your black eyes.") I think cocorosie were being "ironic" or they are "dumb bitches."

9:58 yr voice is sexy! i want a ride on the ride board!

10:00 johanna! guh huh! i was young once.
"all day long we talk about mercy/ lead me to water lord i sure am thirsty." holy fuck.

10:06 havent heard the justin timberghey version of Halleululiah. yet and i never will. i will never cave to that guy's existence. still like the rufus wainwright version the best besides Leo's.

10:12: billy bragg. dUUUUHHHH. can't listen to this song without thinking of Merez, and how she loves the line "is it wrong to wish on space hardware/ i wish i wish i wish you cared." also reminds me us driving out to VT with Dad and he really liked it, like the line about other girls pushing prams. he did that "aw" thing. That's the trip I read harry potter 5 outloud, at the hight of my hagrid voice capabilities.

10:14 this sounds like first wave alt core. smiths or something? british ppl r sad. [oh that was my request! Brian Jonestown Massacre. that totally blew. sorry, your fans.]

10:19: i like this! helsinki-esque. [oh it was arcade fire. miss u buzzbands

10:27: you talk kinda quiet! cant hear!

10:30: love you FFoxez. wonder when the FF "backlash" will start and we will uncover that they used to be a ska band/sons of CEOs. Wonder if they will "beat the sophomore slump" or sell the rights of their songs to kidz bop.

10:41: guh huh! Keh'ssong! about meeeeeeeeee! reminds me of "being young." it was lovely, and kel's music is a revelation, and you can listen to all of it here:

10:46: more downbeat winterindie core. seems appropriate. [port obrien! they are waaay different live, like loud and siiiiick.]

10:50: omg beachhouse. sounds like a very long winter and a very melodramatic heartbreak! the human experience on a good day.

10:55: more BH. victoria legrand: genius, the biggest baller in the room. beachouse has defined the modern soundtrack to the experience of love.

10:59: yeah library PSA! your mother would be proud.

11:00: quirky voiced post-regina broad with acordian. nice. sux to be a woman in the music biz cause you are just a "woman in the music biz." unless you're cat power/victoria legrand/joanna newsom/MIA.

11:06: talk louder, broad.

11:11: le loup! forgive me! this song could power a train. one of those rare songs that could qualify for "heartbeat of a generation." or whatever.

11:16: dancy post-ipod-commercial janglecore followed by kinda slow, relationship-endingcore.

11:23: raucous. THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT. boogie boarder. tight.

11:27: if i was some lil indie bro I would have a HUGE crush on you.

11: 31: dreams come true girl. like it. Love Cass McCombs, but he's a lot better when he's not trying to be buddy holly. PREfection is better.

11:34: FF knock off with smaller vocals?

11:43: I will never understand Vampire Weekend. because they "suck." is this a vinyl played too fast? It sounds like shit. acutally, i've taken shits that sound more relevant than this.

11:49: whoa. anco? perfect, as always. think they've kinda "reinvented music."

k, i'm having lunch. will be sure to tune in next time!

love, your biggest fan (but not VaWe's)

heeey ladies

I've been digging Au Revoir Simone for a couple of months but really fell in <3 when I saw this video for their song "Sad Song". I found myself really "relating" to their cookie baking, lil dresses, and their attempt to have a dance party (not to mention, the bangs!) But in the end, life is just about synthesizers and having a dance party with your ladies. I suspect you can relate.
