To the victor go the spoils

The past week saw what was, in my estimation, the best straight series of concerts the L.A. are had seen in quite some time featuring Elvis Costello opening for The Police at the Hollywood Bowl, R.E.M. and Ladytron. While the old folks still know how to put on good show, Ladytron proved to me once again that they are the best live band in the world right now and are right on track to becoming this generation's Pink Floyd. Don't believe me? Check out the clip of "Black Cat" from Friday's performance at the Fonda on the You Tube channel for further evidence (as well as the myriad other clips from the night posted by other users). Their new album, Velocifero, drops this week.
