Chairlift and Saturdays off the 405

If you're like me, you live in the L.A. area and you like music, art and not spending money. You probably also like easy-to-clean messes, no questions asked and not having witnesses around, but that should be saved for a different post. For now, you should be interested in checking out the Getty Museum's Saturdays off the 405 free concert series. They used to be on Fridays, but it was too hard to get there because of traffic caused by everyone rushing home to watch reruns of The Ghost Whisperer or something. Anyway, the Saturday concert series just kicked off yesterday, so check out the schedule. Plus, Getty Center parking is free after 5pm.

Yesterday's inaugural show of the season was headlined by Chairlift, who put on a stellar performance that filled the Getty courtyard with layers of cascading guitars and keyboards.


You probably know Chairlift from their song "Bruises," which was featured in an iPod commercial. The one with all the colors and the white background. No, the other one.
