[Make mine a double, please: Jack White and Isaac Brock were born in this day in 19 hundred and seventy-five:]
Part 1 of your weekend:
‣ This evening’s installment of Saturdays Off the 405 at the Getty features a headlining set by Best Coast, joined by DJ Kave-In. The free concert begins at 6 p.m.
‣ Steely Dan’s second night at the Greek Theatre is highlighted by a setlist determined by fan vote.
‣ Pedro the Lion man man David Bazan’s new album “Strange Negotiations” sees the veteran songwriter delving deeper (if that’s possible) into issues of self and faith. The SoCal swing on his current tour with Rocky Votolato brings him to Alex’s Bar in Long Beach tonight (and the Troubadour on Sunday).
‣ And there’s a tantalizing local bill at the Satellite, with Wet & Reckless, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Seasons.

» No reasons… 😀
So alone
Deep inside myself I’m crying
I’m screaming and no one can hear
But who would listen if they could anyway?
Sometimes I feel I’m breaking
Sometimes I’m not sure I’m whole
Sometimes I realise I’m cold
But who’s gonna warm me now
I’m too broken to be fixed
So take a deep breath
Catch your breath before it slips away
Hold onto it, treasure it
People will take it from you if they can
The worlds cruel
It’ll destroy you if you fall
So you’re walking with your head down
What is it your thinking?
That if you get far away enough
You’ll leave everything else behind
But it follows you
A haunting shadow
You can’t leave the past
Not if you’re scared of the future
Are you scared?
To be alone?
To feel?
To hurt?
Aren’t we all dying a little inside?
The rain starts falling
Now know one can see you cry
Not that they looked before
It’s starting to hurt inside
The broken pieces scar your skin
So drown in all your sorrow
Let it wash the pain away
There is no other escape
You’re alone
You’re hurt
And no one will save you this time…
But… who would want too anyway
