Shows of Note

So many shows, so little time and too far away, for me at least. Attention all LA friends and Scenesters. Two shows you should see The Mutes tonight at Cinespace. And Birdmonster Thursday at Spaceland:
(From Birdmonster)
We have been invited to rock L.A.'s Spaceland for some crazy label
people this Thursday at 11:00. If you are in the area, please come
out and support us; if not, spread the word to your L.A. relatives,
friends, and anyone else who will listen to your beautiful voice or
read your blogiful blog.

10:00 Addison
11:00 Birdmonster
12:00 The Plus Ones

Club Spaceland - 1717 Silver Lake Blvd. Los Angeles, CA

So yes show your support LA people!

And up the coast here in the beautiful and frigid SF we have some great shows coming up too. This Friday 8/12 I will be rockin out/oogling Jack White as The White Stripes rock Berkeley's Greek Theater, they will be playing with The Greenhornes who Joe is stoked to see. So he can get to listen to some country rock while I get to stare at Jack's tight pants, I think its a pretty even trade off.

Monday night 8/15 a great new band I really dig The Spinto Band will be playing Bottom Of the Hill, I am also going to try to check them out if I can get someone to go with. Please check out their song "Oh Mandy" on their site it brings me to tears of joy and makes me bounce around the house.

Also Saturday night 8/13 (from Flavapill):
Dirty Found's I DON'T Want It Back! Tour
when:
Sat 8.13 (7pm)
where:
Rickshaw Stop (155 Fell St, 415.861.2011)
price:
$10

Found magazine's editors prove themselves not just to be packrats, but also borderline perverts, with the, um, founding of their new spinoff, Dirty Found. Found, the triumph of the keen-eyed and poor-postured, dedicates itself to all manner of detritus rescued from dumpsters and sidewalks — Dear John letters, quirky photographs, schizo grocery lists. Where Found finds glory in everyday castoffs, Dirty Found gets its hands sweaty over the accidental spillover of a world teeming with sex tapes and private Polaroids. So padlock your filing cabinets and take a magnet to the old hard drives, and then hie thee to the Rickshaw Stop for an intimate evening of PowerPoint with Dirty Founders Jason Bitner and Arthur Jones. (PS)Note: Admission includes a copy of Dirty Found magazine. The Dirty Found Tour also stops by Mama Buzz on Sun 8.14.

Also I need to know how to link mp3s to my site help please!!! So anyways some great new tracks I got off Scenestars Include the new Death Cab "Marching Bands of Manhattan" from their upcoming album Plans, I love this track and listened to it on repeat several times on my morning bus ride. Also I dig what I have heard of The New Pornographers Twin Cinema, due out 8/23. I love the track "These Are The Fables" or just about any song where Neko Case has lead vocals. So yeah Scenestars also has three of the new Bloc Party remixes which are also very lovely.
