Love is Pop

I posted a review of last night's excellent St. Vincent concert. I don't have any photos except for the thing they were giving out at the tour and the photo of Symphony Hall I took before the show. Taking photos was NOT allowed last night and until the encore everybody actually obeyed the rule. Videos weren't allowed either. It was actually kind of cool - people were actually paying attention to the show instead of trying to capture it on their phones like most people usually do at concerts.

This photo was taken before the concert, which the venue did allow.

Although this review lacks photos, I tried to make it rather in-depth to convey what a powerful performance it was.

Here is my review of season three of Euphoria, which turned out to be my favorite season. (I felt like it worked better as a crime drama than a high school drama.)

Here's my review of last night's killer Pentagram show in Lowell, MA at Taffeta. I am not a photographer, however, so don't expect great photos. But at least the photos are real, not AI.

I have written a review of the new KYLIE docuseries about Kylie Minogue on Netflix. I really enjoyed it and in many ways it was insightful, but there are also many things that I feel should have been mentioned that were not. For example, Robbie Williams played a big role in her comeback around the year 2000 yet they did not mention his name at all. They show them recording their hit duet "Kids" very briefly and they show her recording "Your Disco Needs You," which Robbie co-wrote, but they never utter his name. In any case, read my review and learn a few things about Kylie that the docuseries covers and does not cover.

The link to the review is in the first comment. I've put the link in the comments this time because I'm told Facebook is less likely to show people your posts if they include links to external sites.

I have posted a review of the Lily Allen concert I went to Sunday night. I didn't take photos, as I'm not a very good photographer. In lieu of photos, I've included a couple of Youtube videos fans posted of a couple of the performances from the show.

New interview alert! We have a new interview with singer/songwriter Rorie Kelly, one of our favorite artists. Check it out:

I first interviewed Rorie Kelly for Love is Pop back in 2016 after their significant other invited me to a house concert they were performing. To this day, that remains the only house concert I’ve ever been to, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I can still picture the living room packed wit...

I don't review every concert I go to because if I go into a show knowing I have to review it then I don't get as immersed in the show because I'm too busy mentally composing my review in real time. I did not expect to review HUGO - THE ULTIMATE JOURNEY TRIBUTE because I figured people would think that it's lame to review a tribute band but, honestly, the show was phenomenal. I really cannot recommend it enough. Please read my review.
