I'll see the King Khan one. I've never heard of any of the other acts except for Titus Andronicus and Turbenegro and I don't know why I've heard of them.

my friend ben is in lemonade but tbrr i do not like their music at all.

I only know TA there

oh, the Wingate Field series: Public Enemy & Salt n Pepa on the 30th.

Nicky Da B is a female New Orleans rapper / bounce-music person who collaborated with Diplo. I think.

I do like King Khan. And Love As Laughter. None of those are tempting enough top to bottom, though, imo.

On the not-free side of things ILXor Capitane Jay Vee plays at 3pm at PS1 Warm Up this Saturday so I will probably try to catch that. Also tempted by the free Archers show though.

Bounce-music is a thing? I might need to get out more.

It's just a name for a certain style of New Orleans rap. Like Miami bass music or whatever. I wouldn't call it some big trend you missed out on :)

Oh Nicky Da B is a guy. I guess the woman in the Diplo video is someone else in his group.

LAMC tonight in the park. Mala Rodriguez, Ximena Sariñana, Profetas and The Sconekt Ensemble; starts at 7.

Not free but I'm playing a live set along with Steve Summers (also live), Ron Morelli of L.I.E.S, some guys from Underground Resistance and Terrence Parker at PS1 WarmUp this Saturday. I'm on at 3pm. If you come by say hi!

I will be there, looking fwd to it

wonder if Eugene Mirman's comedy gang + OK Go will be dry tonight at W'burg Park

Squeeze/The Romantics at Coney tomw

Marshall Crenshaw, free, 5:30 at Hudson Sq (Varick & Canal)

c'mon bill, even YOU don't want to go to that.

hmmmmm? It's been 30 years since I saw him open for Joe Jackson.

(also, no one as boring as John Fahey is in town)

not free but i can't figure out how to search with this damn Mac.
Still. I love this guy. And yes, I'm working it.
