Is routine a bad thing? Not when you are broke. When your wallet is light, routine can be a welcomed friend. Last night this notion held true. Kyle and I hung out after work and made some slop that didn’t taste like anything. Builder cruised into 186 Jones’n for some time on the fire escape. Since he had a bottle of wine, Kyle and I complied and we wasted the early evening drinking and discussing nothing of any particular relevance. Then it was back to the computer so I could pound out some work. I’ve come to realize that I may spend over 10 waking hours a day staring at a computer screen. It is well worth my time, but Goddamn, shouldn’t I be at a camp fire roasting marshmallows?
Tonight there are a couple shows you should schedule into your busy Tuesday evening calendars. If you aren’t checking out the Scottish wonder boys of Snow Patrol at Irving or the Beastie Boys at Long Beach Arena, then head down to the L.E.S. In a two block radius of my apartment, there are three shows that should produce the desired results.
1. Fighterpilot (featuring Chris Howerton) @ Mercury Lounge (8:30pm, $8)
2. Vicious Presents: The Morning After (featuring Jason Product Shop & Hal), The Diggs & Kinetic @ Rothko (9pm, $7)
3. Surefire @ Sin-e (10pm, $8)
*** Modest Mouse continue to blow up. If you haven't heard, they are curratting November's West Coast version of All Tomorrow's Parties. The line-up looks strong so far, and I'm sure their blanket of influence will continue to cover more solid rock. Props to Pitchfork on a well written news piece.
*** Oi, Momma! U2 has a new record coming out in November and they've aptly titled it How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb after watching Kubrick and listening to Outkast.
*** Does anyone have a burn of Arcade Fire? This piece has me intrigued. My ears are perking up.
*** Johnny Rotten gets set for his third chance at death.
*** Libertines drama? You bet. Yesterday I linked to a Filter story claiming the Libertines were mending their problems, well today Pete pisses on that idea while Carl avoides the subject entirely.
*** This link is for the Beachs and Tumbleweed. If that isn't you, take my advise, stay away.
