• Last Night: The Black Lips at Detroit Bar

  Black Lips, Pierced Arrows and The Growlers At Detroit Bar February 10, 2008 Better than: Staying at home and perfecting the 10-key. Download: "O Katrina" by Black Lips. You know a show is awesome when you leave drenched in sweat and covered in silly string. Also, I think I'm now slightly deaf. That, my friends, is how the Black Lips do it! Last night's mosh pit was everything a cozy-sized venue pit should be! Or, well, shouldn't be - did anyone actually read the warnings taped to every co

• Particle Jams w/ Robby Krieger at HOB on 03/13

  Last night I found myself leaning against the bar in the dim colored lights of the House of Blues in Anaheim waiting for L.A. "livetronica" band Particle to share the stage with legendary Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. When I first saw the name on the ticket, I couldn't believe the man responsible for writing "Light my Fire" would actually be strumming his guitar in front of me. Another part of me was glad to see that he was still alive. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I predicted a kick

• CD Review: WWE The Music Volume 8 (Wal-Mart Exclusive Version)

  Music critics occasionally venture a crack at reviewing WWE music compilations, but they often miss the mark, because you simply cannot just act as if this is some regular compilation CD and assess the songs simply as songs. Not for the most part. But to explain, I need to back up a little bit... There are different kinds of WWE compilations. The basic type is usually, but not always, entitled "WWE the music volume whatever." The tracks on them are mostly superstar ring entrance music, which is

• Last Night: Misfits, D.I., Invisible Humans at the House of Blues

  This pic is actually from last Wednesday's Misfits show in San Diego (via Wikipedia). So pretend this is happening in Anaheim, and you have a pretty good idea of what it looked like. Last Night: The Misfits, D.I., Invisible Humans at the House of Blues, Anaheim, Nov. 23, 2008.Better Than: Jerry Only's circa 1999 ill-conceived foray into professional wrestling.Shirtless Dude Count: I only spotted 4, but I wasn't able to get all that close to the stage, so that number likely should be higher.There

• Last, Last, Last Night: Lila Downs at the Grove, 10/25

  ​There are very few people in this world who can make dancing like a chicken look sexy. Count Lila Downs as one of them. The strutting, "ki, ki, ki, ki, ki"--filled performance of  "Los Pollos" was one of the highlights of the Mexican-American songstress' performance last night at the Grove in Anaheim. "I'm warning you, chickens, we're gonna make a stew out of you," she told the audience as an introduction to the Son Jarocho-style jam that was filled with the traditional harp music native
