Just a quick note from Saturday night. I paid a social call to support the international superstars DeVotchka and my favorite Clare of all the Clares, Clairs and Claires I know.
Over the weekend, DeVotchKa played a string of small area shows in continued support of last year's release, 100 Lovers. It's a continuation of their melting pot of style gypsy folk, Spanish, German cabaret and American folk. I think if you ask 10 people to describe their music you will get 10 different interpretations. Likewise, seeing them live is like traveling through a portal to various countries. I like to think of them as a band of circus performers. When I saw them in 2008, leader singer Nick Urata's girlfriend doubles as a trapeze artist and contortionist. She performed on a velvet string hanging from the ceiling of the TLA. I'm hoping next time I see them, I want to see a bear on a big red ball or a hippo in a tutu.
The group returns to their home state of Colorado for a show with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Airbourne Toxic Event will support.
September 20: Red Rocks Amphitheatre -- Morrison, CO
September 29: Tour de Fat San Diego (day show) -- San Diego, CA
September 29: The Casbah (night show) -- San Diego, CA
Rockctober 6: Tour de Fat Tempe (day show) -- Tempe, AZ
Rockctober 6: Rialto Theatre -- Tucson, AZ
Rockctober 20: Moore Theatre -- Seattle, WA
Obviously, big shout out to Clare and her band of misfits, the Reasons, who supported DeVotchka on their East Coast journey. Their new album, KR-51, is out now, and she never disappoints me. Likewise, she never will disappoint you with her orchestra pop tunes and cosmic leanings. She included a backprojection of ocean scenes for her set. It was like a whole Jacques Cousteau documentary going on behind her. "Zee dolphin is so lifelike."
Her next show is this Sunday at Penthouse at The Standard Hotel East Village on Cooper Square. Go for her, stay for the view. I've been up there, it's good times.
This is Clare's latest video it's for the tune, The Lake, which was shot in Berlin:
He needs an anrettoy. If he does not get an anrettoy, no answers here will make much difference.This could be a very big problem. He needs an anrettoy to mitigate the problem.The best help you can be right now is to help him find a good lawyer.

David Salt / January 28th, 2006, 2:30 pm / Im looking fworad to hearing you on the radio show. However, I just want you to know why I feel that the ministry fell apart and your mother acted so crazy on a lot of issues. All through the ages there were spirit mediums. These mediums would talk to the dead. In the bible they are called familiar spirits . Familiar spirits are usually someone that you know or a famous or not so famous person from the past. You have probubly heard all of this before from evangelical Christians, but it should serve as a warning that anyone who talks to the dead. When I read about New Agers (to which your mother claimed that she was not a part of but I disagree) they too have talks with famous people from the dead. The concept of talking to someone from Atlantis is very popular. When I read each New Agers claims about Atlantis I noticed that they were all different. Your mother's claims are no different her claims do not match up to other. This indicates to me that these people are getting disinformation the type of disinformation that I think that God does not want people to have. I was reading an account on the internet some months ago of a person who was talking to a guy named Seth (not the spirits real name, she changed it to stop anyone else contacting him), who was a wise person who existed from Atlantis ions ago. After a while the woman couldnt handle this guy Seth talking to her and telling her what to do. So she tells him to leave and then everything changed and he told her too bad and then he was no longer the wise person but a nasty person. She findly got rid of him by finding a church where the preacher told him to leave. But the moral of the story is that this type of thing has been going on for a long time. So stay away from talking to the dead!
