Hey, did you hear that Sufjan Stevens (link) is playing tonight? And did you hear that it is sold out, so it is probably pointless for me to even mention it unless you are willing to go down to Lakewood Theater and hustle for a ticket that you will probably have to pay at least $50 to get your hands on? Ok. I'm not really a big fan anyway, but I know a lot of you are, so I'll tell you that My Brightest Diamond is opening, and that her slightly dark orchestral pop seems solid if fairly run of the mill. But not bad. Will probably be pretty powerful live.

For those that won't be doing that tonight, I would recommend:

Current Leaves | Backsliders (Dada)
You know the deal. Current Leaves seem to be earning praise from just about everyone in town lately, and their residency is probably a big part of that. People have been loving the shit out of their live shows, and I bet you will too.

or

The Party w/ Dj Nature @ Rubber Gloves. If you're going to be dumb enough to miss the party at zubar on Friday, I would go to this if I were you. Thank god I'm not.

And I almost forgot, you can check the Flashlight Party at Hailey's as well, playing punk, new wave, italo, disco, post punk, funk and whatever else. Bouncing from Haileys to Rubber Gloves is a good way to spend a Wednesday night.

the midwest is full of rubes too. back at ya, LA & NY...

It's hard to defend Sufjan without sounding like an AppleJacks commercial.

oh no you didn't!

That's very hard logic to argue against.

All I can say is - your mom licks his balls. She definitely thinks licking balls is cool.

She's into fluff. Ing.

sufjan is fluff. if you hadnt been told to lick his balls you wouldn't think licking his balls was cool.

1:08 is what we in academia call a "prescriptive linguist"

look it up!

And p.s. - it's "you're". Learn to spell. Thanks.

Why?

if your a male and you went to sufjan, you should be whipped.

just like witches at black masses... oh lord yeah!!!

my brightest diamond was just embarrassing. awful. stick to singing backup and playing piano. no more touchy guitar.

9:45 arrival it is.

thanks.

We start around 9. Our set is around 35-40 minutes.

The Sufjan Stevens show @ Lakewood last night was awesome. Fantastic show.

seriously. a 5 disc christmas album? fuck off and die you shit.

sufjan bores the shit out of me!

shit. That sucks. I had heard that they played early last week, but the first week they didn't as far as I know... could someone from Current Leaves tell us what time you guys will be playing during the rest of your residency?

sooooo..... wish i'd known that Current Leaves were playing the early set @ Dada tonight... totaly went there, camera in hand, to film the show and only caught the end of the Backsliders set.

they did play early right? i'm guessing they didn't just decide not to play.

Even spambots are anonymous!

who the hell looks on a blog for ways to make money???

if you're gonna try to make it sound like you "just sorta happened to be in the area" at least have it make sense.
