Headdress | time comes undone
https://nariposa.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/headdress
Posted January 27, 2009. I first met Ethan and Caleb at the show pictured above, playing songs from their debut album. Released 2007. I was surprised and impressed hearing them for the first time, the way you can be, unexpectedly, when paying heed to opening bands. I was cautiously hopefully before I ever heard them play a note when I saw them rolling in the Hammond, checking the harmonica, and asking the sound man for as much reverb on the guitar as possible.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona | time comes undone
https://nariposa.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/vicky-cristina-barcelona
Posted August 29, 2008. Vicky and Cristina, played by Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson, were unremarkable in their one-dimensional roles. Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz acted circles around them, playing the casanova and the provocateur. Passion or commitment can be a question of spiritual life or death, but here it is treated with such levity, with playful dialogue, a low-stakes plot, and the beautiful Spanish scenery and soundtrack.

Terrastock 7 | time comes undone

Posted August 11, 2008. The pilgrims gathered in fabled sound hub Louisville, Kentucky. They traveled from near and far to meet in the sacred space for 4 days and 4 nights, seeking multicolor visions, ecstatic states, and the nourishment of the soul. Another terrastock festival, mecca for the psych rock devout, has commenced and wound to a close. 8221; Amen, brother. My impressions of the outstanding, ear-perking bands are as follows:. The music nerds were all a flutter about the appearance of Pelt on th...

Ambient manifesto | time comes undone
https://nariposa.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/ambient-manifesto
Posted December 2, 2008. Stars of the lid. I spent last weekend in Boston for the Kranky Records showcase at Brainwaves Fest 2008. Kranky is my favorite label, because they put out long, slow, intensely boring music. Ambient music traces the shape of my heart, filling it with abstraction more potent than words. I often wonder how anyone not accustomed to the style of SotL would react to a show. It is not demanding music, though it does require patience. It is not challenging nor discordant, thoug...Each ...

The Wrestler | time comes undone
https://nariposa.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/the-wrestler
Posted January 11, 2009. Disclaimer: I am a wussie. I had to talk myself into agreeing to see Let the Right One In, the bloody Swedish vampire flick in theaters right now. But it was nowhere near as violent as The Wrestler. Vampire movies are surreal and detached, but The Wrestler was real and terrifying. Laquo; Music with Roots in the Aether: Pauline Oliveros.

Wu Fei with Erik Friedlander at The Stone, NYC. Posted October 29, 2008. My second show at The Stone, Manhattan’s tiny experimental concert space came by recommendation from a friend back home. This venue reminds me of Austin’s Hyde Park Theater, with its intimate seating, black walls, simple mood lighting and worn hardwood floors. As Wu Fei remarked during her introduction, “the night is cold but the room is warm.”. The folk harp is called. This was an evening of songs of folk tune length with accompani...
