I finally caught The Horrors live at Bimbo's 365 Club in SF last week when they co-headlined two shows with The Black Angels. It was a loud, and achingly gorgeous-sounding set in a beautiful venue.

Back in England, where these decidingly throwback shoegazers are from, they're Album of the Year winners(well, NME says) and doing duets of their single "Still Life" with mega fan Florence Welch. It's about as good as you'd hope, which is close to perfection.

It's time.

An electronic-shoegazing anthem coming to us all the way from Nashville? The track is "Golden" by Future Unlimited. 

what are you thinking about right NOW? miss you.

I'm thinking about how time is grace. And I'm also thinking about an iced Americano and where I'm going to get it.

Roger and John Taylor(above) of Duran Duran signed my vinyl copy of Rio today at Rasputin's in Berkeley for Record Store Day. Big thanks to the pushy, screaming woman behind me. It was lovely. 

Duran Duran is at the Fillmore tonight in SF, before heading off to play a slot at Coachella tomorrow...

It just dawned on me that the XX are working on their sophomore record as we speak and it's easily the most anticipated release in stereo-land. You can visit their blog and start counting down the days(hello summer 2012), while listening to their inspirations - which include Cocteau Twins and The Streets' classic "Blinded by the Lights."

Meanwhile streaming here is the Flufftronix dub bootleg of "Infinity" that had me digging dubstep for nearly three whole months.
