Friday, August 20, 2010. Swell Season at the Mountain Winery - August 19. When they appeared on the schedule for the Mountain Winery, I knew that I’d find myself there somehow. My parents happened to be in town the same week and given their love of the venue, it was a slam dunk that had to happen. I felt as if this was venue was made for them given the intimate nature of their songs and interaction with the audience. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Swell Season at the Mountain Winery - August 19.

Mark's remarks: Hazards of Love - May 20th - Fox Theater
http://foothillscrambler.blogspot.com/2009/05/hazards-of-love-may-20th-fox-theater.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. Hazards of Love - May 20th - Fox Theater. Last year (with a preview), to getting "The Rake" early off of i-tunes, to the NPR-recorded debut. At the SXSW musical festival to the Onion interview. To the Colbert Report appearance. There's been so much hype around this indie band that it would seem so easy for them to either implode or kill people off by over exposure. Yet I was excited as hell about this concert. Before I write about the concert itself, let me say that the Fox Theater.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Brandi Carlile at the Rio Theater June 23rd. On a whim I decided to head down to Santa Cruz on a Monday night to take in a Brandi Carlile. Concert at the Rio Theater. Which is turning out to be one of my favorite venues. I caught Colin Meloy. There a couple months ago and was hoping to find another appealing act so I could make another visit. She turned out to be the one. As I came into the theater to the last half of the opening act, a giggly wisp of a girl named Priscilla Ahn.

Mark's remarks: Fun in the Fall in Wisconsin
http://foothillscrambler.blogspot.com/2008/10/fun-in-fall-in-wisconsin.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. Fun in the Fall in Wisconsin. I recently made a trip to Wisconsin, courtesy of IBM, for a recruiting trip to one the finest towns in all of the world, Madison. Here are some of the highlights of that trip. Night run out to Picn. After my night run out to the point I decided to check out the Madison music scene, following a recommendation given by a local section in the Onion. The recommendation for the night was the God Damns. Merican Player's Theater in. And one in the summer.

Mark's remarks: Year in Concerts 2010
http://foothillscrambler.blogspot.com/2011/01/year-in-concerts-2010.html
Monday, January 03, 2011. Year in Concerts 2010. I found some great music in 2010 on the live stage, once again patronizing the many “indie” venues in the bay area that we are fortunate to have. As I am accustomed to doing, here are write ups on five concerts that stood out for me (in no particular order). I’m glad they played: Travels and Trunks, Rio, Cigarettes. I wished they had played: Some more new songs. Will bring our new debates. And sing them for the magistrate. In groups of 4 or 8 or 12. That I...

Saturday, May 31, 2008. After looking through the latest movie ratings on metacritic, I decided to take a shot at Reprise. Since I had to head up to San Francisco to see it at Embarcadero one, I decided to make a nice Sunday out of it by combining it with a scenic run along the Marina. Reprise is a Norwegian film, which I think is the first I've ever seen of that Nationality. It takes place in Oslo and focuses on the literary and life aspirations of two friends played by Anders Danielsen Lie. The most co...

Monday, January 04, 2010. Year in Concerts 2009. 2009 turned out to be a slightly down scaled year for concerts, but I still had a chance to see some high quality shows, being fortunate enough to live in an area that is loaded with venues that embrace indie pop. While I had a great time at every show, these were the performances that stood out, in no particular order:. 8211; The Filmore. Continuing his prolific song output (He’s said that he’s put out roughly 900 songs! He delivered Life of the World.
