Like Public Enemy, Busdriver was one of those on the bill of the Roots Picnic in Philly over the weekend. Catch him tonight with Tim Fite at Mercury Lounge.
The weather report for tonight is not as bad as it was before.
Amadou & Miriam are playing Bonnaroo this weekend and touring with Coldplay in July. The duo headlines tonight at Webster Hall. Tickets are still on sale.
Trust funds are in trouble.
Tonight is the first of four sold-out NYC Hold Steady shows. Those without tickets can try their luck with a Northside Badge at the fourth and final show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Thursday.
The Northside Fest then continues at Music Hall of Williamsburg through Sunday, four more shows, the BrooklynVegan showcase, and BrooklynVegan photo show included.
Did you get a ticket for tomorrow's Sonic Youth show?

James Blackshaw, at the Issue Project Room tonight, plays tomorrow at the Mercury Lounge with Marissa Nadler.
Seasick Steve is coming.
Thighs Wide Shut makes up his own Phish setlist.
In August, Rys Chatham will attempt to bring 200 guitars together for one piece of music. The opposite of that -- 100 different songs on one guitar -- video below...

Amadou & Miriam on Fallon tonight.

I've heard the line for David Byrne is absolute insanity? I have no chance of getting in if I head there now, right?
Posted by Billy | June 8, 2009 6:34 PM
No chance. All the unemplyed are already there.

Monday Night Vinyl Club
@ Bell House
8pm-2am
Bring Your Own Vinyl DIY DJ Party
Bring some records and spin, or, make selections from the host crates.
A good place to continue the party after Celebrating Brooklyn.

I could have sworn I heard Yeasayer playing live near my house in crown heights last night. Anyone know what that was about?

the man who plays the 100 Famous Rock Guitar Riffs is really good, i like the way he played those famous riffs, its clean and wonderful to hear.
Posted by pinoy digital channel | June 9, 2009 12:13 AM
He only played ONE sabbath riff. FAIL.

the Hold Steady show was phenomenal. they went on at 10. Always happy to hear "212 MARGARITA."
Posted by Anonymous | June 9, 2009 1:26 AM
I love those 100 riffs!!
Posted by sandra soleil | June 9, 2009 6:46 AM
I only like 93 of them. The other 7 suck.

Amadou & Mariam were awesome. They played a really long show and Amadou's guitar work was amazing.
Not so awesome? The unwashed hipster couple in front of me who insisted on writhing wildly (I couldn't call it dancing) the entire show, regardless of the fact that it was really crowded and their flailing made it impossible for those behind them to see anything. Hey losers, this isn't Celebrate Brooklyn! Some of us would like to try to enjoy the show and don't want to be coated in your flying sweat.
(yes, I did move as soon as I had the chance... as did others.)
Posted by Gwin | June 9, 2009 11:36 AM
how long did the hold steady play for?
Posted by Brian | June 9, 2009 11:49 AM
Amadou and Mariam were indeed amazing. Awesome stuff!

anyone have amadou and mariam setlist from last nite's show?
Posted by bb | June 9, 2009 6:07 PM
Just got back from Africa a week ago where "flailing" in appreciation of good music is quite common actually.
I was one of the "losers" (God forbid) dancing at the Amadou and Miriam show! The band probably wouldn't approve of the entire crowd standing still at their shows to enjoy the music. What's good enough for A&M's back up singers is good for me...

I see you've chosen to misinterpret my post. I doubt you'll ever come back and see this, but just to clarify, I don't have a problem with people dancing at shows -- but I DO think it's rude to move around a great deal when space is extremely limited and there are other people less than 18 inches behind you. Common sense, dude.
