Yeasayer | MGMT | Dove Hunter (Granada)
Brooklyn's Yeasayer is a pretty puzzling band to me. On the one hand, there are some things about their debut full length that I can't stand: the fact that it often sounds as if it was recorded by Jars of Clay as a Page/Plant tribute album in the early 90's is tough to get over. And so is the fact that I think "Akron/Family light" every time I hear it. And given that much of their material sounds right at home on the "world music" rack at Starbucks, it's a bit difficult to look past some of these limitations and give the band more than a passive, disinterested listen. But on the other hand, it's hard to deny that their debut single "2080" is pretty excellent, and there are various moments of bold, psyche/prog influenced goodness scattered throughout the record that have to make you admire the band's ambition at the very least. How all of this will play into their live show is impossible to say, exactly, but since most of my beef is with the way they've recorded thus far, maybe some of the stronger moments will shine through a little better on stage. Or maybe not. How's that for fence sitting? And MGMT sounds pretty interesting to me as well, although I've been listening to Hunky Dory a lot lately, and that might have something to do with it.

Man the Conveyors | Bring Down the Hammer | Akkolyte | Tolar | Terror Management Therapy (Red Blood Club)
Any excuse to see Akkolyte is good enough for me most of the time, and catching them in their element at a place like Red Blood Club might be even better than usual. Pretty solid politically oriented grind core line up all the way through.

Also, Cool Out at The Cavern. You know you want to be in those party pics, right?

ADD: We should also mention that Chicago House Pioneer Boo Williams will be joining the Cool Out Lineup tonight.-DL

AND

Sydney Confirm (Fallout Lounge)
Not really clear on the details surrounding this show, but I do know that the words "secret" and "Myspace" are involved. Dubious as that sounds I'll probably go anyway. Get there at ten.

Since it was about Paris... And this is wsjr.... I think it was probably supposed to, you know, make you laugh?

someone just cut y paste Quick article as a comment. lame.

Who, Hillary Clinton? That's a bit harsh, but yeah, I'm not fond of her either.

She's a cunt and I hope she dies of AIDS

to 9:04AM:

Please don't speak for me. "Nightlife World" will only speak for itself.

We don't care Parasite Hilton is cuming to the GashBar.

Anybody see the dem debates last night when they asked Obama if he thought Bill Clinton was the first black president? Head asplode.

OMG!!!

I am SO there!

The nightlife world is going CRAZY over the fact that Paris Hilton is coming to Ghostbar tomorrow night.

Anyway, yours truly will be there to find out all the juicy details, ie, how much makeup she's wearing, if her jawline looks that harsh in person, just how blonde is her hair, etc. I may even be able to ask her a question. We'll see. They're still deciding if she's doing "society press." That means quick breezy little sound bites, while she's surrounded by her handlers. Right now my one question is what the hell I'm going to wear.

The party's free and open to the public, so if you've got ganas, as we say in Spanish, it's all you. (Tener ganas roughly means "to feel like.")

She's here to promote her new movie, by the way. It's called The Hottie and The Nottie.

I really like Yeasayer, but the Jars of Clay comparison cracks me up. Pretty accurate on some tracks.
