PS:
Thanks to all wonderful creators, who makes it possible for us noobs (me) to be creative in SL.
Special thanks to:
Elizabeth Jewel - Simple Things ♥
Neva and Keox Zenga - Nutmeg
Alex Bader - Skye Studio
Charlotte Bartlett - Scarlet Creative
Thanks to loved friends for help - you know who you are ♥
We learned how on our own
Never needing help from you
Reaching out with eyes closed
We felt the light
It taught us to grow
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on
Creatures of habit
Carrion flowers
Growing from repeated crimes
The afterglow in full bloom
Slow and relentless, we're after you
Hold on to the pain
Of love taken from you
A plague
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on
"'Cause we're the cause
We're the stars
We're the cause
We're the flawed
[...]
When earth cracks open and swallows
Then we'll never be tired again
And we'll be given everything
The moment we realize we're not in control"
No matter how
twisted
gnarled
wretched
old
battered
how not just there yet.
We all have|deserve a place in the Sun.

I had kind of a sad Saturday night. I showed up to The Vic Theatre in Chicago very early to get a great spot to shoot Eels and Chelsea Wolfe only to find that I had to shoot far away from the soundboard...really sad. Chelsea Wolfe was dark as usual. My shutter speeds were 5.6 (because the extender makes one's aperture suffer so even with a 2.8 200mm lens), 4000 iso, ***1/4th of a second!!***
I was in such despair when I cam back to my seat in the first row and saw all of the amazing shots I was missing.
Anyhow, Pain is Beauy is still my favorite album of 2013 and when I saw Chelsea Wolfe standing outside the venue after the show I almost went up to talk to her but alas I am far too shy for that.

I always tend to miss a few albums here and there each year. It is difficult to keep up with so many bands out there in so many different countries. There are also a couple of albums I'm waiting to be more widely available in the States, such as the newest Juana Molina album and the newest Colleen album. Feel free to share your own here! So far, here's mine:
***NOTE: I initially somehow forgot The Terror by The Flaming Lips so that is now tied for a #3 spot. I realize that's not how Rolling Stone would probably do that but, hey, I'm my own woman****
1. Chelsea Wolfe: Pain is Beauty
This album is just so lush, dark, and wonderful. It's melodies sink into the depth of your organs. Pretty soon, your dreams are part echoey bliss and part dark nightmare. One thing is for sure, it's difficult to get it out of your head for any amount of substantial time. Chelsea Wolfe has created something rich in texture, quite bizarre, and intricately memorable.
2. Jacco Gardner: Cabinet of Curiosities
Though Jacco Gardner is from The Netherlands, Chicago is very lucky to have a local record label, Trouble in Mind, release this! This album is perfect for any fan of psychedelic music. It's complex layers and arrangements are incredibly interesting and also quite lovely. The album posesses an element of beautiful melancholy and has certain sound samples that make each song quite unique. A great album to see performed live, too!
3. Sigur Rós: Kveikur
I tend to love everything related to this band so it's probably no surprise to anyone that I loved this one. I think the difference between this album and earlier releases is that this has a much more turbulent and challenging aspect to it. The opening of the album as a whole itself has a much different sound, too, and it's disorienting at times to think of it as the same band. Still, there's a real strong sense to these tracks and this band continues to grow in a way that makes it very worthwhile to follow their releases.
3. The Flaming Lips: The Terror
You know what happened? The Flaming Lips put together such an amazing live show..I mean, they kept all the confetti and balloon companies in business. But, on the flipside, they started being seen as less real and less influential..more as a party than as a long lasting friendship. Well, people kind of forgot how amazing the band really was and when they forgot they also didn't include them on best of 2013 lists initially because their memories failed them and the musicians they loved.
One of those people is me. I listened to this album, The Terror, and I felt the first feeling I'd gained from the band since I heard Zaireeka and, this time, it seemed even more realized. I can't quite say whether I'll like it as much as I liked Soft Bulletin 10 years later but it's a good bet that I will. This album is under-rated and under-realized and it's time that changed.

4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Push the Sky Away
There are some musicians out there who have had a career like Nick Cave and just don't have any more to give. You just kind of have to accept that this is the way it is.
With Nick Cave, the man just doesn't ever seem to run out of inspiration either in terms of his lyrics or any of the musical arrangements. The man is on fire and, even in the songs you have to wait for the fire to burn, they are well worth the wait.
5. Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Both MBV and GY!BE put out albums this year that I was impressed by, as if no time had gone by since their last release. I've loved both bands for so long and was so happy when GY!BE started playing live again. Interesting to note, they won the Polaris prize for this album and gave their winning monetary amount to fund music programs in Quebec prisons.
I'll sing a Tra La La to them for that.
6. Julianna Barwick: Nepenthe
At the end of a really impossible day when your heart is frozen to your shoes and you wonder if all the blood in your veins has finally stopped flowing, it's really lovely and reassuring to listen to this album like a mother lovingly cradling her child and saying, "I promise it's going to be all right. I promise it's going to be all right." I believe her.
7. My Bloody Valentine: MBV/Self Titled
If you're a fan of shoegaze music, this band won't let you down. If there are those out there who would criticise this newest release by saying that the band's sound hasn't evolved since their release of Loveless in 1991, that would be a fair statement. However, this release seems like it could have literally come out in 1992 or 1993 and perhaps be hailed in a better light. Back in thoe times, their sound seemed revolutionary and Loveless helped change the face of music forever to inspire so many other bands. That said, if you like Loveless, changes are you'll also like this album quite a bit! I hope that MBV fans won't overlook it's release!
8. Mikal Cronin: MCII
Is it possible that I would be nostalgic about an album when it hasn't even been out for an entire year? Well, that's how I feel. These melodies make my heart and soul a little sick but all in a good way. You'll want to belt out these lyrics as they become a strong part of you. Some who follow the music of Ty Segall may already know of Mikal Cronin's music but may not have looked into hearing his solo work even when it's fuzzy and catchy in all the most perfect places. I'd highly recommend this album and you can hear it on Bandcamp.
9. Tim Hecker: Virgins
I'll be excited to see Tim Hecker play Tomorrow Never Knows festival on January 16th, 2014 at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. I've missed the last couple of times he's played as I wasn't feeling so great and my friends have raved about how amazing it was. Most of the musicians and bands I listen to are really pretty removed from the mainstream (Nick Cave is probably the most well known on this list) and that's because I feel overall less challenged and inspired by the bulk of music played over mainstram radio waves. There's an amazing underground of independent musicians who just do it better and I'd rather support them than a label any day of the week. This album by Tim Hecker is probably going to end up being my favorite release by him and it's a good example. It's music that makes you think and feel and that is always a good thing, even when it hurts.
10. Mary Lattimore: The Withdrawing Room
Mary manages to create some intriguing soundscapes with this release from the jarring to the whimsical. Some are edgy and make you wonder if the world is going to collapse and others make you feel so light hearted that everything is going to be ok. Listen to this if you want to be challenged by a very creative female musician in a genre of experimental music where males tend to dominate.

For most of Chelsea Wolfe's set at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago Saturday night, my camera settings were 4000iso 2.8 aperture and 1/8th of a second. I was playing my "Kirstiecat human statue" game which is not my favorite at shows.
So, when you can't capture the actual image of a person well, you try to capture the essence of the human inside. Well, to be honest, I always try to do this anyhow.
There's a special place in heaven reserved for photographers who suffer through shows just to photograph their favorite experimental female musicians, right? I'll be seeing all my favorites in bright daylight and it will be Caturday every day of the week. Please, some internet ghost out there confirm! Okay, I am sounding a little silly now.
Listen up, I'm rambling but now I'm about to focus! Chelsea Wolfe has a new album out called Pain is Beauty and it is profound and amazing and so is her live set. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SEE HER WHEN SHE COMES TO YOUR CITY. Denver, Salt Lake City, and Boise, I am totally looking at you folks. And for the rest of you, see her when she comes to your town next time around!

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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/10977464713/
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.
Some Blur and related photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/sets/72157637975505153/w...
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.
Another shot of Paul smiling:

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:
www.flickr.com/search/?w=47508116@N00&q=Nick%20Cave%2...
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...
Some Robert Smith photos I've posted over the years:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/tags/robertsmith/
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/9353509328/
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/47508116@N00/9895451714/in/photolis...
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:
www.flickr.com/search/?w=47508116@N00&q=jello%20biafra
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!
Photos of Belle and Sebastian here:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/tags/belleandsebastian/
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/sets/72157633386543210/w...
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/tags/janellemon%C3%A1e/
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/11401455686/
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/tags/kareno/
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?!?!
Photos:
www.flickr.com/search/?w=47508116@N00&q=the%20breeders
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/47508116@N00/9451391693/in/photolis...
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/8693248401/
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.)
Here's some links if you're so intrigued:

Seer/director Michael Reich, wizard/editor Forrest Borie, and white witch/set designer Tamarra Younis tapped their deepest inner goth vibes to film doom-folk artist Chelsea Wolfe. To enjoy this truly spellbinding performance we suggest you turn down the lights, don headphones, relax and get yourself into a gloomy Portishead-meets-Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein state of mind… just let the grime and the glow wash over you.
BIO
California native Chelsea Wolfe has always embodied both the darkness and the light. Although her music is a raw strain of electric folk tinted by black metal and deep blues, it never wallows in despair. Instead, it wraps itself like a cloak around the human experience, encouraging uplift and seeking triumph. Her voice is a haunting call, warm and lingering, and her lyrics acknowledge life’s obscure and melancholy moments in service to the unlikely truths and beauty they so often reveal. It makes sense then that her influences run from Nick Cave and Selda Bagcan, to directors as varied as Ingmar Bergman and John Waters, with nods to the dramatic flair of Antony and Patti Smith.
