NEW PHOTOS: HEALTH, ROBIN WILLIAMS ON FIRE, SMOOTH GROOVES, HUMAN HANDS, WEAK SISTERS, & SPELLCASTER AT THE SMELL!!!

The show at the Smell left a big smile on my face. There was a little earthquake when I got home (seriously—4.5 on the Richter scale!), but I didn’t worry ‘cuz I had just seen/heard/been part of one the most amazing nights of music ever!!

Kyle Mabson deserves a lotta credit for that. He organized the concert and even played in two of the bands. KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON. Yep. He’s the best.

Jim Smith was a terrific host, as usual. He deserves a lotta credit, too.

But the thing that overwhelmed me the most—besides the awesome songs from Health, Robin Williams On Fire, Smooth Grooves and the psychedelic noise of Human Hands, Weak Sisters, and Spellcaster—was the audience of friends and diehard music fans.

L.A. truly has something special going on, whether anyone realizes it or not.

I realize it! I feel it at the Pehr shows and Kyle’s shows and the Smell and House of Vermont and just about any show that this incredible group of music fans are at. It’s a special community—surpassing any other I’ve been a part of. There’s no snobbery or any of that crap. And the music is weird weird weird. And everyone’s so into it! (That’s ‘cuz it’s good.)

Appreciate what we’ve got. Go out there and take it all in and be a part of it because this is something rare and special.
