San Diego Concerts and Music

Vince Outlaw of New Jazz Thing, and a DJ from KSDS who has been using blogs for a while on his show, has started a weblog for Street Scene, happening (duh) this weekend! Hey Joe! I've added the SD Blogger badge to my new site, The Street Scene ...

Street Scene is this weekend, and it promises to be different from previous years, for sure. It's smaller, all ages, and laid out differently, in a different part of town. We at San Diego Blog have gotten visitors to the site -- they ...

David Moye of FlashNews sends along a call to all fans of SHEMM, apparently part of an email blast sent out by SHEMM. With tongue firmly in cheek we pass this along to all SHEMM'S seXXXy Fansm: Calling: ALL SHEMM'S seXXXy Fans!! SHEMM is recording his first ever 'LIVE & IN PERSON' broadcasting of his newly formatted, live TV show! Needed: Energetic & Supportive fans! (Yes, that's you!) Latin/Pop singer/songwriter SHEMM, needs a STUDIO AUDIENCE and Production Crew for "the seXXXy show live", that airs on Cox, Time Warner, Aldephia, and Comcast Cable.

The new banner in the upper right corner is a little promotion for the very good cause of Rock The Walk, mentioned here previously. The idea is for San Diego Blog readers to get behind this good cause. Will placing that banner have any impact? Will people even click ...

Da Goddess remembers the legendary Country Dick Montana, he of the great San Diego band The Beat Farmers. Read more about Dick here. And here's an awesome tale. I saw the Beat Farmers once at The Del Mar Fair. They rocked.

Neat story in San Diego CityBeat: School of Rock: The nightcrawlers who tend to San Diego’s young’ uns It’s surprising how much of San Diego’s alternative music scene is involved in shaping San Diego’s young minds. Dean Primicias, guitarist for up-and-comers The Shrines, is a school psychologist in East ...

My Ticketmaster e-mail alert told me that Laurie Anderson is coming to San Diego! I must admit. I'm a Laurie Anderson groupie. After the first time I heard O Superman (KROQ in LA, might even have been on the Rodney On The ROQ show), I was hooked. Here's the show info: Laurie Anderson UCSD Mandeville Auditorium La Jolla, CA Sat, Jan 29, 2005 08:00 PM

Eric Howarth of M-Theory Music, a great music store in South Park at the corner of Juniper and 30th Street. His store was voted Best Record Store two years in a row by San Diego CitySearch.com's editors and readers. He took time out from running the store and record label to answer some of SDB's questions. SDB: What is M-Theory? M-Theory is a physics theorem that states something to the effect that there are 11 different dimensions to the universe. I came up with the name actually for our record label back in '98, after reading an article in the SF Guardian (or SF Weekly... can't remember) about this physics theorem. I liked the "multi-dimensional" aspect of the theorem and thought it would be cool to apply it in different terms for the record label.

Here's a web forum on pirate radio in San Diego. I myself live near downtown, and I've listened to 96.9 here in town -- they have an official site , though they sometimes play good music, they're juvenile. Still, I have a bit of political sympathy for ...

Via The IP List: from The National Review Online: The Syrian Wayne Newton: The man inadvertently behind a scare in the skies: Well, I am nominally the "news director" for Stanford University's student radio station, KZSU, and I figured I'd help the Times out. There aren't that many casinos in southern California, so I had my research assistant, Mr. Google, take a look at some. An hour later I was talking to the nice folks at Sycuan Casino & Resort, near San Diego. Unlike most casinos where it's all Elvis impersonators, Paul Anka, and Linda Ronstadt — oh, wait, scratch that last one — Sycuan books the occasional "ethnic music" show, too. In August, for example, they'll have a Vietnamese night.

Last week I wrote about local blogger Barbarella and her print-only front page feature for the Reader. Now it seems that Barbarella has become a regular weekly columnist. While this week's article about the resurgence of local band Loam appears randomly in the Calendar Music ...

So right now our precious San Diego Blog is getting a smattering of hits for "Ronstadt Fahrenheit" as the search term. Why? Well, the site has run several articles about the freshly defunct alternative newsweekly "Fahrenheit," and we also pull in feeds from The Reader to show concert listings, and wham. We're a minor net sensation source of confusion for people wondering -- "Why the heck am I here?"

I'm not sure if this is really what Joe had in mind, but to me, San Diego Blog represents a wonderful new alternative to the local mainstream media. It offers an accessible editorial page where San Diego bloggers (and non-bloggers) can ...

SHEMM is a remarkable --ahem-- performer Leah and I have seen on local cable access show doing his hits. Last year I discovered he has a website at shemm fan club.com. He has wallpapers and thoughts and it's really just. Well, Shemm makes me speechless. ...

I had not heard of this till MeFi told me about it in this post... Benefit Concert: Calexico in Calexico. The band Calexico will play for the first time ever in the City of Calexico July 9th in a benefit concert promoting border crossing death awareness. ...

Street Scene used to be really cool -- then at some point it grew too big for its britches and was just too many young drunk idiots fighting for too little parking and making it more about hook-ups than music. Over the years I've seen ...

City limits space that can be used for secondhand goods: Clark wants to sell more used merchandise than El Cajon will allow. The city will only let downtown retailers devote 15 percent of their floor space to secondhand goods. That doesn't work for Clark, who co-owns two stores in Chula Vista ...
