Sifting through the Darkmatter

Baseck live at Darkmatter.

Saturday night, we headed out to Darkmatter, which I was set to cover for the LA Weekly. We thought it would be a very cool event, but nothing out of the ordinary. Then Venetian Snares showed up for a surprise gig. You can read about it in the LA Weekly music blog, West Coast Sound.

I woke up Sunday morning convinced that I was going deaf. I could hear and there was no ringing or buzz, but my right ear, the ear that was pointed towards the speaker for a bit the night before, was massively plugged. After some Advil and countless sticks of gum, the pressure alleviated slightly. Fortunately, this morning I'm back to normal.

I'm still exhausted from the weekend, but it was incredible fun.
