• True West at Anaheim House of Blues Tonight

  '80s California psych-rock group True West reunited in 2006 after a two-decade hiatus and now they're opening for Violent Femmes on the latter's dates at Anaheim House of Blues tonight and Aug. 4 at San Francisco's Fillmore. And, finally, True West have their canon reissued on CD, with the nicely packaged, 21-track Hollywood Holiday Revisited (Atavistic). Prominent TW fans included Prince and Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, the latter of whom produced True West's 1983 three-track demo (inclu

• Busywork, Detroit Bar, October 31, 2007

  Muscles from Melbourne: kinda weak. Halloween: It's really more for adults than for kids, isn't it? It astounds me how much effort grownups put into their costumes, simply to have ridiculous amounts of fun getting wasted as they take mini-vacations from their own personae. The overflow gathering at Detroit Bar last night proved this conclusively—and reminded me that I need to get a camera, damn it. (I hope to get some shots by OC paparazzo Will Tee Yang later.) Sure, you had your share of

• Om, Lichens, Echoplex, January 20, 2008

  Lichens (Chicago guitarist/vocalist Robert Lowe) has balls. Before a crowd of metal heads who wanted to rock the fuck out on cochlea-threatening volume and controlled bombast, he began his set with field recordings of birdsong, while seated off to the left side of the stage. You could sense he was sending currents of unease through the audience at Echoplex. He gradually added dulcet vowel sounds from his throat and then intricately looped the “oh”s and “ooh”s. Soon after came Frippian el

• LowBallVideoChatter: LynnMarie & the Boxhounds, "Squeeze Box" (plus Grammy rant)

  God, I hate the stupid fucking Grammy Awards, an annual music industry wank-off that I've seriously been railing against ever since I was 12 -- in 1980, the year wus-pop icon Christopher Cross swept all the big awards, beating out classic recordings like Pink Floyd's The Wall (which somehow flew under the radar of crotchity Grammy voters to score an Album of the Year nomination) and the Clash's London Calling (which wasn't nominated for a single damned thing. The Clash were finally given an hono

  Paloma Esquivel has a touching story in the LA Times about Laguna Woods seniors still awaiting their City Council-approved medicinal marijuana dispensary, which would be the only one in Orange County. Scratch that: the only legal one in Orange County.Perhaps the delay can be blamed on the time it is taking the LW brain trust to deal with the myriad unintended consequences introduction of a ripping pottery will bring to what used to be lovingly referred to as Seizure World. For instance, Laguna W

  This beach is not actually in Orange County, but it's fun to pretend.The New York Times has long held the motto "all the news that's fit to print." And you know, sometimes, even here at OC Weekly, all the news just doesn't fit.So, please to enjoy some more summer songs picked by some more local music community notables that we didn't have room for in the print version (but are still great picks!) of this week's Sound Guy, which just so happens to be currently appearing in our lovely Summer Guide

• To Do Tonight - 4/20

  The Wall, 8 p.m.It's international pot smoking day. Why not partake in this trippy experience? Thanks largely to illustrator Gerald Scarfe and his constantly morphing, slightly disturbing and completely spellbinding images, The Wall is an hour and a half of absolutely mind-bending provocation set to Pink Floyd's epic album of the same name.
