Saturday Shorts - Mostly Siren Edition
The skies are gray today. Will rain hold off or will I be soaked at Siren? The time has come to head out to Coney Island, but here's a few brief items before I go:
- A new
Christgau Consumer Guide is up on the Village Voice website. Laptop music is a theme that runs through most of his recommendations, but he also finds time to praise records from the
Pernice Brothers and the
White Stripes. I have yet to hear the new Röyksopp album, but word of mouth has leaned heavily towards the negative. Christgau names it his dud of the month. His other duds include
Junior Boys'
Last Exit (what?),
M83's
Before Dawn Heals Us, and
The Bravery.
- Hoboken Rock City saw
Dungen at Maxwell's and reports back with
photos and a review. Based on the stuff I read, Dungen is the band everyone wants to see at Siren this year.
- You have to feel bad for
Saul Williams, who's set overlaps Dungen's today. To make up for following the herd over to the Main Stage at 5:00 and missing Saul's set, here's some links to listen to his music: Stream "List of Demands", "Black Stacey", "Grippo", "Telegram" on
Myspace or
download the Saul Williams Mixtape from Catchdubs.
