Well, NYE is upon us and with that comes Paul Westerberg's birthday and the time when people like me try to make the most out of what seemed like a very difficult year. There are many things I am always thankful for, though, and one of those things is the incredible music that I've experienced over the past year. Here is my top 20:

 

1. Bjork ( at Pitchfork Music Festival) July 19th, 2013

 

This was my first time seeing Bjork..I'd dreamt of it for so long and the wild and dreamy spectacle that she has become known for did not disappoint. Bjork was fantastic and my heart was beating frenetically every step of the way. It was really too bad that her set ended early right before "Hyperballad" but this wasn't her fault (Wait...can Bjork control the weather perhaps?)

 

I posted one photo here:

2. Blur (at Coachella) April 12th, 2013

 

This wasn't the best Blur concert performance and Damon Albarn unfortunately looked so much more tired when I saw him with Gorillaz (less jumping action too, unfortunately). At the same time, many of the songs still carried the crux of what made them great when I listened to them for so many years. It was also wonderful to experience it with friends and that always makes a show more enjoyable. However, objectively, Blur is an amazing bamd and this was my first time seeing them live so I was very thankful for the experience.

3. The Replacements (At Riot Fest in Chicago) September 15th, 2013

 

Rarely am I so impressed with a reunion band live that I actually end up liking their songs in the live setting way better than those same recorded songs. Paul Westerberg & Co. were charming and spot on in so many ways and I enjoyed their closing set of Riot Fest immensely! I always respected the band but I never fully got why some were obsessed until that moment.

4. Sigur Rós (at Coachella) April 13th, 2013

 

After staying for the closeout set of Day Two (Weekend One) of Coachella, I thought I was going to die of suffocation as I was trapped amongst several thousand people all cramming to leave the small enclosure in the desert on their way to campgrounds, cars, and the town of Indio itself. There were several moments when I didn't seem to move at all and felt like I was probably going to get crushed at any moment.

 

And still, even though the experience of departure was terrifying, seeing Sigur Rós was well worth it. Even after all the previous times I had seen them, this was the best by far. Jónsi was absolutely on fire and the songs took on a very challenging aspect that ended in a feeling of incredible brightness and the happiness to experience the night and joy of music.

5. Nick Cave (at the Chicago Theater) April 1st, 2013

 

Nick Cave was amazing at Coachella as usual but it was even more exciting to witness his longer set at The Chicago Theater. Half the time, the man seems posessed by greatness with the sort of commanding presence that has always helped make him a legend but which has been refined over the years to create a sense of brilliance and suggest the possibility that, even this late in the world's history, something novel truly can occur and one should be ready for it. Nick Cave can still touch the womens' hand up front and make them writhe with passion, too. The man still has that touch.

 

Some of my shots of Nick Cave:

5. The Cure (At Lollapalooza) August 4th, 2013

 

The first time I saw The Cure, it was at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto probably around 2000 for their "farewell last tour ever" for Bloodflowers. 13 years later and the band is still going strong...so glad I paid through the nose as a poor college student but that's another story. Anyhow, I was so excited to see The Cure again and I was third in line for the photopit. I accidentally took 8 Ibuprofen and my photogrpaher friend Dana had to hold me up for some of it. Sometimes, I do silly things. Anyhow, The Cure were so good they stopped me from having a complete panic attack and rushing to the first aid tent so that's something...

6. The Three O'Clock (at Coachella) April 13, 2013

 

After witnessing the surprisngly wretched reunion of The Stone Roses the night before, I didn't have my hopes up for The Three O'Clock but they sounded amazing. I was extremely impressed with how well they pulled it off and, by the end of their set, there may have been more fans there for them than were left at The Stone Roses set. (Why would they play "I Wanna Be Adored" first..I mean, really, who does that??!) Anyhow, seeing The Three O'Clock was a rare treat and I'm not sure if I'll ever get the chance again. It was definitely one to be treasured.

 

7. Savages (at Lincoln Hall) July 18th, 2013

 

From the minute Savages started playing, I knew they were worth all of the immense hype they'd been given both overseas and in North America. Their sound was powerful and captivating. I couldn't get over the intensity of lead singer Jehnny Beth. She actually reminded me slightly of a young Nick Cave in her ability to be wild.

 

I didn't take photos at this show because I was taking them at Pitchfork Music Festival (their set was ok there but lost something slightly in a larger outdoor venue imo). Jehnny has a ton of energy on stage but there are also ample photos of her being her usual persona. I wanted to capture what was beyond that, which is why I chose to post this one instead:

8. Chelsea Wolfe (at Bottom Lounge) on September 21st, 2013

 

If you haven't heard Pain is Beauty, Chelsea Wolfe's 2013 go run out and get it! At the very least, even if you find you don't bond with it right away, it will challenge you in new and exciting ways and may even change the way you feel about music. Chelsea Wolfe's stage performance has grown more and more profound with an intensity that matched Savages but also with a more brooding and resounding quality of gothy goodness.

 

The show was (of course) quite dark but I managed to get one oddly twisted shot I liked:

9. Jello Biafra (at Coachella) April 12th, 2013

 

Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys is still amazing live. I never saw him play with The Dead Kennedys but this set was deeply memorable. I think one thing that really resonated with me were his politics. The man was telling it like it is Henry Rollins style and I stopped photographing several times just to pump my fist in the air and scream out "YEAH!" If there's one person who gets it right in terms of politics, it's Jello.

 

A couple of my favorite photos of Jello Biafra here:

10. Belle and Sebastian (July 20th, 2013)

 

I've loved Belle and Sebastian for so long..I mean, what else can I really say. For me, the band is twee in all the right places, intellectual in all the right places, folk in all the right places, and pop in all the right places. This adds up to a whole human being who loves their songs. I was very happy to see them play again and Stuart Murdoch was funny and charming as ever with the audience between all of the songs. The man is indie Scottish adorableness. I just love him!

11. The Makeup (at Coachella) April 13, 3013

 

Ian Svenonius is probably one of those rare types of people that is just a born performer. The man is in his element on stage and he did not disappoint for even a second. I was literally in awe as I tried to capture him in all of his glory.

 

Photoset here:

12. Janelle Monáe (at Coachella) April 13th, 2013

 

Janelle has everything you could want in a performer-she's smart, she's talented, she's stylish, she is her own realized woman and she is just as much of a tour de force as any of the lead singers I've mentioned. It's quite inspiring to see her up on stage dancing and jumping with so much energy. Oh, and she's a nice person too.

 

Photos I'f posted of Janelle Monáe:

13. Grouper: (Kranky 20th Anniversary Festiva)l December 13th, 2013

 

Grouper was gloriously quiet and intuitive. She commanded respect in whispers, which is something very few musicians and people alive can pull off. Every hair stood on edge as I watched and listened...a very unique live experience for sure...if the audience had not been so polite, it wouldn't have worked but we all didn't dare cough or talk and instead Grouper was shown the reverence she deserved.

 

I recently posted the multiple exposure I did of Grouper but in case you missed it:

14. Franz Ferdinand (at The Vic Theater) October 10th, 2013

 

I have such a soft spot in my heart for Franz Ferdinand. I saw them play their debut album at a very small space in Chicago called The Empty Bottle over a decade ago and their catchy dark Scottish sensibilities are quite enchanting to me, I must admit. This show proved the band still has it and I found the songs from their newest album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action growing on me so much more afterward. Alex Kapranos is still very much in prime form, too, and can jump like he always could, which makes me have some high hopes for myself when I'm also in my 40s. The man is unstoppable!

 

A couple of photos from this set here: www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/tags/alexkapranos/

 

15. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (at Coachella) April 12th, 2013

 

Gosh, that Karen O. I am always so transfixed. What is this strange magic she has over me? She starts singing and I'm instantly aware that every cell of my body is alive and dancing! This set was fantastic as usual with so many great hits even though it was a headlining set (They'll get there soon enough) and I greatly enjoy so many of their songs live and on record.

 

Photos of the great Karen O that I've taken throughout the years:

16. The Breeders (At Pitchfork Music Festival) July 20th, 2013

 

Gosh, how I loved this set...when I was in my deep indie girl feminist stage (which, sometimes I wonder if I've truly left, to be honest), The Breeders album The Last Splash, which they performed here in their entirety, was pretty much all I listened to some days. It held me up when I was depressed and made me giggle from time to time too. Who among us can say they haven't crushed hard on Kim Deal?!?!

17. The Postal Service (at Lollapalooza) August 2cnd, 2013

 

Everyone who didn't listen to Give Up obsessively around the time of 911 seemed very confused that The Postal Service was actually headlining one of the big stages of Lollapalooza but I felt they deserved this spot and nostalgia won me over. That album saved my life a bit. It was a constant comfort in a time period when everything else seemed incredibly uncertain and I still greatly cherish those songs. In addition, the band sounded really awesome, even better than they had at Coachella earlier in the year!

 

Here's my favorite photo of Jenny Lewis from the set with some gorgeous lens flare action:

18. Yo La Tengo (at Pitchfork Music Festival) July 21st, 2013

 

I've been seeing Yo La Tengo for quite a few years now and I've never disliked any of their sets but, in this particular set, Ira Kaplan did something I had never seen him do, which was to swing his guitar over his head when the music reached a great climax and that impressed me quite a bit, I must say. Here's a photo of that I captured from the audience after the first three songs were well up:

 

www.flickr.com/photos/47508116@N00/9359667742/in/photolis...

 

19. The Evens at (Logan Hardware) July 1st, 2013

 

Here's another band whose politics I greatly admire. I witnessed the oddity that was The Evens at Coachella (they brought their lamps on stage there, too, in the middle of the desert) but enjoyed their set at Logan Hardware more because it was longer and all of the fans were extremely dedicated. I took photos at the set but I still like the diptych I created at Coachella in better light:

20. Loscil and Stars of the Lid

(Kranky Records 20th Anniversary) at Lincoln Hall on December 15th, 2013

I sadly don't have any shots of either of these two bands but they just aren't really the type of band one takes photos of..more of an experiential sort. Their sound is slightly experimental but often what is created are very warm and creative instrumental pieces that make you feel deeply within your soul (I even cried during Loscil's set.)

---

 

I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near

I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here

Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear?

Wrapped in a coat with the tears in your eyes?

Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor

Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

 

As you've been moving surely toward me

My soul has comforted and assured me

That in time my heart it will reward me

And that all will be revealed

So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw

Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

 

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built

Out of longing great wonders have been willed

They're only little tears, darling, let them spill

And lay your head upon my shoulder

Outside my window the world has gone to war

Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

 

O we will know, won't we?

The stars will explode in the sky

O but they don't, do they?

Stars have their moment and then they die

 

There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him

He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"

I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting

And how every little thing anticipates you

All down my veins my heart-strings call

Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Self-portrait

 

For the majority part of the day I am listening to music, I love it, but sometimes it gets to the point where I get saturated, even if a song from my favourite band or artist gets played it would just sound like noise. This is what I tried to illustrate with this photo, that feeling of saturation.

Yay Nick Cave!

 

I've had a bit of an emotional weekend already. Last night, I went to see one of my favorite bands, The Dears and then biked in the pouring rain to see The High Dials, a fantastic psychedelic band from Canada. I went out with friends until 4am and slept till noon. Today, I got up and voted for Obama through early voting. I was so scared of accidentally voting for McCain that I checked about eight times to make sure I had voted for Obama..is this dumb? I think I was just being extra careful. My Obama spoke card was stolen the other day, though. Who would steal and Obama spoke card??? :(

  

It is getting colder out and I am scared of winter. That's all.

Nick Cave Lyrics

"Nick Cave The Sorrowful Wife lyrics"

 

I married my wife on the day of the eclipse

Our friends awarded her courage with gifts

Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts

I look to my sorrowful wife

Who is quietly tending her flowers

Who is quietly tending her .....

 

The water is high on the beckoning river

I made her a promise I could not deliver

And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver

Through me and my sorrowful wife

Who is shifting the furniture around

Who is shifting the furniture around

 

Now we sit beneath the knotted Yew

And the bluebells bob around our shoes

The task of remembering the telltale clues

Goes to my lovely, my sorrowful wife

Who is counting the days on her fingers

 

Who is counting the days on her .....

Come on and help me babe

Come on now

Help me babe

I was blind

The grass here grows long and high

Twists right up to the sky

White clouds roll on by

Come on now and help me babe

I was blind

I was a fool babe

I was blind

Come on now

A loose wind last night blew down

Black trees bent to the ground

Their blossoms made such a sound

That I could not hear myself think babe

Come on now

And help me babe

Help me now

I was blind

I was a fool

Happy New Year! I've really enjoyed being part of this community, seeing all of your photos for the end of the year and throughout the year. I hope 2009 brings much joy to each of you. Thanks for looking and being so supportive. It means alot to me.

  

I suppose my way of gaining closure over the last year is doing all these lists so that when I have complete amnesia someday, i can look back and remember what kind of person I was and see all the things I loved.

 

Anyways...

 

#1 Low

 

September 17th, 2008

Epiphany Church

 

There were many amazing shows this year but the best for me by far was Low...I can't put into words very well how amazing it was for me to be able to see one of my favorite bands of all time in such a heavenly place, Epiphany Church. It seemed so right to me and the experience was everything I hoped it would be. That's really all you can ask from a live set at the end of the day, especially on some days. Moons aligned, planets rotated correctly, and Low sang a couple of feet away and I'll never forget how amazing that was to me.

#2 Radiohead

 

August 1st, 2008

Grant Park, Lollapalooza

 

I haven't seen Radiohead since I drove to Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens for the OK Computer Tour. I think this show meant so unbelievably much to me as a photographer...I never thought I would be able to shoot Radiohead and I've been a fan of their music for so long that the experience overall surpasses unbelievable and goes straight into mind blowing. I know sometimes people that have shot Radiohead or are in that category of photographer, for them it is just a job or something they don't really count as one of the top ten most phenomenal experiences of their lifetime. But for me...well, could this really be happening?

  

I should probably actually talk about their live show too...Thom Yorke's amazing vocals, Jonny's stunning guitar playing and the setlist was all the best songs from current and past albums.

 

I think when death comes to me, I won't be ready and I'll go without peace in my heart no matter what..it's just the type of person I am. But, this experience will make it a little easier no matter how old I am and no matter what the cause of death is. Perhaps, I'll go with a little bit of peace in my heart afterall.

#3 Jarvis Cocker

 

July 19th, 2008

Union Square Park, Pitchfork Music Festival

 

I know some of you probably expected this to be my number one and objectively it would have been had Jarvis sang some of my favorite Pulp songs. That said, I still more than respect the man for being able to play his own solo material and get all the crowd wrapped up in it. The real downfall of his set was simply that it had to be limited by length, which meant I couldn't spend the entire night with Jarvis...what a travesty!

 

Oh Jarvis...I was so excited. The girls that tore their hear in black and white over John Lennon and Paul McCartney so long ago have nothing on me!

#4 The High Dials

 

October 24th, 2008

some random loft space

 

You didn't misread that location...Montréal's The High Dials indeed played a loft space in the middle of nowhere in a street that looked like any other on a rainy night where I got drenched after seeing fellow city mates The Dears across town and bicycling at my best speed.

 

Let me put it like this: The High Dials are the most underrated band in existence. Their talent is astounding and, in addition, they are incredibly nice people, too. If you love psychedelic music, you would love this band. And...it's not as if the songs aren't accessible. They are downright catchy! Any enormous radio should love to have them. Instead, they are playing to ten people. Trust me when I say they deserve to play to millions.

#5 David Byrne

 

October 26th, 2008

Chicago Opera House

 

This show was so nervewracking to me. I worked so hard to get this photopass to go through and then I was the only one of the photographers present that actually stayed the rest of the show. Why don't I have this job? Well, anyhow, I remember growing up every summer at The Renaissance Fair in Sterling, NY. One summer, my family was invited to a staff party where all the actors took off their costumes and blasted "Burning Down the House." It was the first time I had heard The Talking Heads and I would never forget it.

 

Since then, The Talking Heads have played a part in my life and my musings on heaven especially. David Byrne's live show was truly phenomenal...choreographed completely surreally and full of all of his old songs.

#6 My Bloody Valentine

 

September 27th, 2008

The Aragon Ballroom

 

I don't want to get too much into this show because I already, like David Byrne's set wrote a length review. Still, what I will say is that, for me, to see My Bloody Valentine in the flesh after so many years of listening to those albums and writing off the possibility completely was phenomenal.

#7 Nick Cave

 

September 29th, 2008

The Riviera Theater

 

Though I saw Nick Cave for two consecutive nights , the second night was by far better by miles! Nick Cave is one of those musicians whose past work is unbelievable and who can command a live show like none other. The man is a master and I'm in awe of him, pure and simple.

#8 The Super Furry Animals

 

February 16th, 2008

Cabaret Metro

 

Simply put, I love Gruff Rhys. A couple of years back, when Caribou opened at Cabaret Metro, it would have been my top show of that year easily. This time around, The Super Furry Animals put less energy into their live set but only relative to previous performances. Their live show by any standards is still remarkable, memorable, and amazing. I was lucky-I got a whole day of the Super Furries, starting with a small performance for Stop Smiling in which he was mainly being silly. My friend Leigh made cupcakes and we all tried not to be too obviously adoring. I was a little worried that Gruff Rhys wasn't going to deliver the psychedelic goods in his live set but I was definitely wrong. This band is just amazing...

#9 Spiritualized

 

September 8th, 2008

Cabaret Metro

 

I had just about written Jason Pierce off when he created one of the best albums of this year to completely change my mind. Songs in A&E is brilliant and his live show, unlike in previous years does not dissolve but truly brings those songs to fruition, aided so much by the lovely gospel singers who bring those songs closer to heaven.

#10 CSS

 

December 14th, 2008

Cabaret Metro

 

CSS's live show is phenomenal. mainly because Lovefoxxx is an unpredictable tour de force sort of animal on stage! One never knows just what she will do! It's like the best party you'll ever go to, save from perhaps seeing The Flaming Lips. Lovefoxxx never misses a beat as she takes over the stage like her own rooftop looking over the world of admiring indie rock fans. Between this most recent show and Lollapalooza, I have hundreds, perhaps thousands of shots so as long as I'm still alive, ever so often, you'll see Lovefoxxx popping up on my photostream in all her unabashed glory.
