Regina Spektor @ The Greek Theater (10/28/09)

Gossip @ The Henry Fonda Theater (10/26/09)

my first introduction to gossip came from a music blog. a streaming version of "heavy cross" caught my attention so i got the album. i took a listen to the album in its entirety unfortunately, it didn't grab me. it was early in august and i was distraught about missing and airborne show. still hurt about that one. time goes by and the gossip "surprise" the audience at the perez hilton presents tour and close for ladyhawke....blown away. beth ditto's voice will move you. but only if you have a soul. upon the release of their fourth studio album they perform at the henry fonda theater. armed with good people we embark to the music venue. i can't speak for them but it was one hellofa good show. and by the looks of it i'm probably speaking for them. one hellofa good show. their live show can't be compare to anyone because they're in a class of their own. it will move you if not knock you up and down and all around. i did not stop dancing. not for one song. not for one pause. purely fantastic. when i'm older i can say i went to this show. the grand kids will respect me more for that reason alone. i've been stuck on their latest album, Music for Men. i'll have to go down memory lane and take a listen to their previous work...won't you join me?

enjoy the music.
