FRIDAY SHORTS
-
Liz Phair will be at Joe's Pub on August 1 and 2 for special acoustic shows. Tickets are
on sale now. I'm not the biggest Liz Phair fan but I'm sure some of you are. [via
the Wicked]
-
Lady Sovereign will be at the Knitting Factory on July 13. Tickets are
on sale now. [via
Brooklyn Vegan]
- The only reason I haven't listened to
this stream of the
Magnetic Fields' Zankel Hall show from last November is that I haven't had the chance to give it my undivided attention yet. It was one of the best concerts I attended last year and deserves nothing less. [via
Central Village]
-
Death From Above 1979 cover
Bloc Party's "Luno" on
their MySpace page and it actually works pretty well.
- The San Francisco Chronicle
reviews Sleater-Kinney's recent show at the Warfield, where they ended their set with "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone." I've seen S-K so many times, but I'm pretty sure that song has always eluded me. [via
The 15 Minute Hipster]
-
The NY Times and
MTV.com report on Wednesday's NYPD counterfeiting raid of Kim's on St. Mark's Place. Apparently you can't even tell anything happened if you visit Kim's today, which is good to know - I'd hate to see them go down.
- Aziz has
sample MP3's of the two new Brazilian post-punk compilations -
Nao Wave: Brazil Post Punk 1982-1988 and Soul Jazz's
Sexual Life of Savages. Kinda odd, how these two comps came out almost simultaneously.
-
Ulrich Maiss, "Germany most eccentric cellist," will be performing a live interpretation of
Lou Reed's infamous
Metal Machine Music this fall on a North American tour.
This site is pretty sparse on the details now, but will presumably be the first to report them. There's a punchline to be had here, but I'm too slow today to come up with it.
