Live Review: Khruangbin at the Fox Theater

A live review of Khruangbin at the Fox Theater in Oakland.

November 13, 2018 0

I’m a South African living in Oakland and the type of person who plays a song she likes too many times a day. I love everything about music: listening to it (loudly), playing it (averagely), and talking about it (to remind us that we’re all on the same team).

I always get the most homesick in December because it's probably (definitely) the best time to be in South Africa. Especially because of this man, HHP, who made the best Dezemba (you read that right) music for the perpetual party mood of the month. This playlist is for him and for me and for fans of African music in general who want to at least hear the sound of the sun if they can't have a sunny December. Click on the link in bio (👆🏾👆🏾) to find out what exactly Dezemba means and to hear some legendary tunes from The Continent🇿🇦 🇳🇬🇬🇭

OK, there's no official Five Song Playlist this week because this weekend happened (💃🏿😱). But since I'm running on caffeine and assume many of you are too, I recommend these songs by Faithless to help you stay alive/awake. Otherwise, check out previous playlists at dearmusiciloveyou.com and find the mood for you. #FiveSongPlaylist - Keeping the faith with Faithless 1. Insomnia 2. God is a DJ 3. Miss You Less, See You More 4. Mass Destruction 5. We Come 1

My 1999 Honda CRV (#bestcarever) plays CDs so I pick them up whenever I can. This one was a pick by Mr Dear Music, and it's become one of my favorite albums. Handsome Boy Modelling school is a project by Dan the Automator (Gorillaz) and Prince Paul who collaborate with different acts to make fun, kinda comedic hip hop albums. "So...How's Your Girl" features the likes of Del the Funky Homo Sapien and Mike D from the Beastie Boys, and what I'm trying to say is it's a dope soundtrack for cruising California highways.

#RememberThis? Of course you remember "...Baby One More Time". But aside from the fact that it still holds up after 20 years, it has an interesting history that basically traces back to our Lord and Saviors ABBA. This song has a history so cool your til had to write this little essay about it then spend the rest of the week Britney stanning. Check it out 👆🏾👆🏾

#TBT to this cozy day spent alphabetizing the collection

It's overcast and cold in the Bay Area today so I'm channeling these sun-soaking vibes of Laraaji and his song "I Can Bliss Out (F'Days)" Also, a friend in need is a friend indeed, a friend who shares music is better. This song comes courtesy of my pal @one__neo 💛💛
