Holy F-Bomb!
It seems I've been out all week. With summer approaching, more and more events are happening and I'm blessed to have the problem of having too many events to choose from as an Angelino.
Origami Vinyl is a record store that hosts in-store loft shows and I was finally able to make it out to one. From somebody's suggestion to Stef, we made it a point to check out HOLY FUCK at Origami. Someone in the crowd blurted out "Mogwai," and I assume they were probably describing bands that are similar to HOLY FUCK. Well, they're wrong. Although both may seem to have the same style of musical setup and a lack of vocals, their music has very little similarity in sound. We opted to stay outside to prevent smelling hipster aroma, hearing stupid comments like the one mentioned above, and to save our ears from their LOUD performance. It actually sounded great outside and we were able to eat our Two Boots slices with ease.
The day before, Stef and I were invited to a backyard party at a friend's house. The three of us are not on Facebook, so we were oblivious of the scope of the invite. One observation that made me sneer was while an iPod played music through a small guitar amp, a kid from one of the bands covered the speaker with a piece of paper labeling the location of the communal ashtray. THIS GUY IS IN A BAND... where's his awareness of sound and music equipment? This dude muffled the sound of the only good tunes coming from that scene. It quickly got crowded by hipsters and I was eager to leave after checking out at least one band.

Even the guy in the band looks bored...
I kept sane by taking pictures like the one above. Sadly, video footage wasn't caught. The awkward, unrehearsed songs sounded like a joke. Uh, I guess it's fine if it makes them happy... right?
