for those of you who missed Jesse Malin’s smoking show at the 400 Bar a month ago (which is pretty much everyone but the 30-50 people who were there sadly), don’t miss him this time around. Also, his new album, The Heat, kicks a lot of ass, check it out for yourself.

I did just see BSS twice in March, and The Walkmen at in In-Store a few months back. Pretty sure i’ll end up going to Sonic Youth, I just enjoy them quite a bit more than both the other bands combined.

I may just go to SY here, and drive to Milwaukee on 7/31 and see Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene, & The Walkmen there at The Rave. Not to mention i’m pretty sure Le Tigre & Wolf Eyes will be opening for Sonic Youth here too.
