Bauhaus performing "Dark Entries" at the The Hollywood Palladium back in November of 2019. Before..."everything" as we now say.

Missing live music about now. Even all the "woo!" people or those randomly overcome with the urge to vogue whilst donning a top hat.

I might be a little obsessed with this place. But you tell me - do you know of another prime example of dystopian beauty* in this otherwise perfectly manicured tourist town?

For extra sparkle and glam, this time I brought along my favorite, subterranean, homesick alien.

“What Are You Afraid Of?” hits a little differently in 2021 than it did, while ringing in 2009 at the with West Indian Girl, with then lead singer and absolute smokeshow at the helm.

Still a dreamy track, now with an extra dollop of foreboding and melancholy on top.
