This weekend, we not take your Valentine on a little lover’s road trip? Saturday night, we recommend heading out to Palm Springs for Coachella Valley Art Scene’s Doo Wop in the Desert party. It’s a retro dance shindig at the Ace Hotel that promises sweet tunes from the 50s, 60s and 70s and free cupcakes for the first 300 guests. Semi-formal retro prom wear is suggested. Click here for more info and to purchase tickets.
On Sunday, Santa Barbara is the place to be. Watch the sunset on the beach. Treat your love to a romantic dinner. Then, head over to Muddy Waters to catch our two favorite ladies Lissie and Leslie and the Badgers perform a special Valentine’s Day show. Click here for more info and to purchase tickets. I will be at this show, so if you are attending, my favorite flowers are sunflowers and any sort of chocolate will do. Thanks and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Justin Townes Earle will be performing a free show tonight at Amoeba Records in Hollywood at 7pm. If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you know that I absolutely adore Earle and stick by my claim that he has the best between song stage banter of any artist that I’ve ever seen. Other musicians could really learn a thing or two from him. He will be at Amoeba tonight and the Echo tomorrow where he will be performing alongside Joe Pug and the Hi Hos. I’ll be front and center at both shows so be sure to say hi if you see me.
Langhorne Slim is performing tonight at McCabes. Last I heard (yesterday), there were about 10 tickets left. I would call McCabe’s asap and see if you can still get your hands on them. 310-828-4497. Say hello if you see me there!
MP3: Langhorne Slim- Sweet Olive Tree
Seth Avett- Mary
Seth Avett of the Avett Brothers sings Langhorne Slim’s tune “Mary.” Langhorne will be playing at McCabe’s tomorrow night in Santa Monica. He honestly puts on one of the most engaging live shows that I’ve seen and it’s very rare to see him in such an intimate setting. Only a handful of tickets are left so get them while you can! This show WILL sell out by tomorrow. Langhorne’s original version of the song is after the jump.

If you were bummed about some of the Christmas gifts you received this year (ooooh, another reindeer sweater….thanks grandma), never fear! Space 1520 is hosting a re-gifting event tomorrow afternoon where you bring in an unwrapped gift item to exchange for a better gift. As they say, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.
There will also be a Sample Sale featuring 50-80% off Guy Baxter, Tom Tom Jewelry, Pretty Little Thing and Little Rooms Jewelry plus vintage clothing and pieces from emerging fashion designers, including When You Awake favorites Benny and Kelly (whose stenciled shawls and boots are featured here). And to top it all off, I’ve been asked to spin tunes from 3-5 pm. I’m thinking Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young…come by and say hello!
