Loading... Ed: Many thanks to Zack for a kickass week. It was so good, the painter wanted to pay tribute, which we will happily tag on.
The most romantic song about a nightclub fire as you'll ever hear. KEXP, 2012.

Ms. Holter is indescribable. Avant Garde? Classical? Pop? Ambient? I dunno. Just call her brilliant.
And because she can't be pigeonholed: Continue reading Julia Holter – City Appearing

I can't remember who told me to listen to her, but she was way outside of what I normally listened to. I just loved her voice, and for whatever reason was thinking about her tonight. I guess she runs a yoga studio downtown now? Anyway, here's a recent recording of her playing the eponymous song from her first record.

The ending was about what I expected, and the show stuck the landing. One of the best shows I've watched in year. Anyway, in honor of that, here's Kaori's first performance from the show, "Kreutzer."

I am freaking out since exactly four weeks from tonight she's going to be playing here at a skate park thing or something. We're not quite a quarter of the way through the year yet, but I'd be shocked if this falls out of my top 10. Anyway, this is "Pay Attention."

One of the guys who worked there had a pretty vast collection of music and he turned me on to a lot of different bands that were really important in forming my tastes. Shonen Knife was one of those bands, so Let's Knife!

This was the first song released off their forthcoming record Foil Deer and I'm pretty sure I'm going to flip over that record if this is any indication.

And to be up front, International Women's Day lost an hour to DST, so expect a focus on female artists this week as I do my part to make up for that. It's still Women's History Month after all!

In this 2014 performance, she plays with members of Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
