I thought I had lucked into tickets to see Beck and Phoenix last week until I found out that they couldn’t give tickets away to that show because people didn’t want to brave the prophesized traffic nightmare caused by the Taylor Swift concert taking place next door. Turns out, traffic wasn’t bad at all (when you arrived early and parked a mile away), the show was quite fun (highlighted by Phoenix dancing around to tunes from my favorite of their albums, Alphabetical), and watching the Taylor Swift sparkle parade navigating the streets of Inglewood was valid pre-show entertainment.

Coming up, we’ve got some great singer-songwriters including Annabel Lee for Beck Pete’s residency, Hayley Warner and more singing at Jesse & Friends, and Tegan & Sara at the Bellweather Monday night.
