I highly recommend it.Īs for the author's knowledge of punk, well, it's obvious she did some research. I loved The Time Traveler's Wife as a piece of smart entertainment. (She also fell waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too much in love with her own characters, especially the heroine, who as a fiber artist was a pretty thinly veiled stand-in for the author, Audrey Niffeneger, who is also a fiber artist.) Which she proceeded to completely undermine elsewhere in the book by having one of the characters dismiss Cheap Trick out of hand. And I always liked the music references on The Gilmore Girls, because the characters there felt quirky but real and not just contrivances for the writers to convey their own hipness, which is all the character of Juno McGuff ever felt like to me.Īnd the two page discussion of punk in The Time Traveler's Wife was just so gratuitously out of place and immaterial to anything else around it that it was obviously just the writer showing off her indie cred. But I actually don't mind such references in works where they seem to make sense for the characters and don't just come across as the author/director/whoever just showing off their hipness.įor example - I was fine with High Fidelity, the book and the movie. It's a perfect recording.Īs for being the equivalent of an old jazz hipster, I do kind of worry about that.

(courtesy of MyOldKentuckyBlog): Local artists Blake Mills, Cherry Glazerr and Feels turned in strong performances, and the afternoon started with a set from Haunted Summer.It's just that "LWTUA" is such a cliche now. She spoke to queer people in the audience, affirming that there is a place for them in the world. To end her set she sang a song for her brother, who committed suicide, explaining that he was “fabulous” and that she was the first person he came out to. She finished by inviting a bunch of photographers and fans onstage to dance.ĭuring her set, Princess Nokia called out for the people in front to allow young people of color closer to the stage (she thought too many white people got to be in the front) and asked everyone to understand and be an ally. Santigold arrived in an outer-garment draped with dollar bills and plastic bills, inciting a pit party by throwing beach balls and inflatable donuts, watermelons and pizza slices into the crowd. Noting the current political and cultural climate, BSS dedicated “Anthem for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl” to women, then finished their set by inducing the whole crowd to scream, primal scream-style. greats New Order played a hit-laden set (including “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle”), finishing with Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart (Again).” That followed a strong set by Broken Social Scene, the Canadian ensemble who played their album “You Forgot It in People” (15 years old this month) in its entirety.
New Order was on the money, Santigold wore money and Princess Nokia cashed in on the diversity of the crowd Saturday at the first day of the Music Tastes Good festival at Marina Green Park in Long Beach.
