Spinnerette (10/29/08) @ Spaceland

"a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Spinnerette's Brody Dalle and Tony Bevilacqua were members of a little band called The Distillers. it's been a long wait since the last studio album of the distillers in 2003. since then i've attended and graduated university; traveled to and survived seven countries; listened to, adored, and posted about sixty-two bands since the first installation of The L.A. Dog and Pony Show. i would wait, wait and wait for just something. a glimmer of hope came with the spinnerette mashup that appeared on their site (myspace) in 2004 i became a fan of the distillers off their second album that was released in 2002...by the time i felt their power they were at a fork...no new albums and no new shows...as the Distillers. rumors circulated about a new album but nothing materialized..until spinnerette. a year later a mashup from spinnerette. a year after that Spinnerette @ Spaceland. What matters is what something is, not what it is called. spinnerette's new album coming in february until then i'll have to remember what one would describe as something badass for the kids. if you believe in drunk n punk nights..you'll find a safe haven in the bosom of spinnerette. as tough as the locating and parking at spaceland on silver lake blvd. it was worth the efforts. you won't wonder if the trucker mouth is as dirty as a certain angelino trying to get to spaceland. betweens the sh's and f's there were the motha's and holy's. you get it. you've been on the 405/101 even on the 110 and 15 during rush hour or even on wilshire and la brea between the construction on highland. but you endure...the jack and ginger's are magically delicious and the crowd is well it's just is. a made a semi-new new year's resolution to introduce myself to one person from a concert i go to. so far a success...i won't say i've met my soul mate but it makes the evening a little more interesting...

all the while i post i created a mixtape:

i usually excel at multitasking but this is for something i really care about so it took a little more effort and concentration.

enjoy the music.
