Things to Think and Do
Tonight:
Electric Six play the Bowrey Ballroom with The Crimea, Outrageous Cherry, and Peelander-Z ("japanese action comic punk"). (Via Flavorpill.)
Electric 6 & Benny Hill Mashup - "Gay Bar" (MP3 link removed) (Nicked from Big Songs for Little Attention Spans.)
Saturday:
Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind has a New York branch, which is moving into the HERE Arts Center through the end of October. They try to do 30 plays in 60 minutes and destroy a random number of them every week, replacing them with brand-new plays for the next show. They tend to be absurdly funny- sometimes the play is just ordering a pizza for the audience, or shit like that. It's great.
Neo-Futurists - "The Idea Of You" (MP3 link removed)
For everyone going to see Liz Phair at Irving Plaza:
Neo-Futurists - "Exile In Guyville" (MP3 link removed)
Monday:
New favorites Grizzly Bear are playing a Katrina fundraiser with an acoustic Sufjan Stevens and Akron Family, also at the Bowery Ballroom, for a mere $20. Go. You totally got paid since you last donated.
Grizzly Bear - "Fix It" (MP3 link removed)

I like to read stereogum because it isn't regional; it gives a broad range of music news, etc from across the nation/ world.
If I wanted to read what concerts were happening in NYC, I'd read brooklynvegan (which I do read occasionally) or gothamist. Leave the NYC-centric posts to them and keep your broad appeal.

there are still great free MP3s here for you adrian! chill out!

grizzly bear puts on an amazing show...saw them in chicago...and was blown away.
Score = 0
Adrian, that's fair...mostly, I toss these out there as an excuse to put up related MP3s. I'll try to keep it less location-specific.
Score = 0
i love the Mp3s you are posting Jim. I guess a good middle ground would be posting them and just writing about the band instead of talking about a show (although I don't know why Adrian cares so much, if you don't like that specific post, read the one before or after it)

The crimea were damn fine last night; nice tropical indie rock sounds x

Jim, you're very polite--and that was a very diplomatic response, but, seriously, 'F' the haters, man--post what you want!

Adrian needs to move to NYC, to the world so's he can be location specific and cool like us.
Score = 0
Jim, I think it's awesome to get those mp3s up and so what if there are mentions of shows in specific locations? Deal with it.

love love love the neo-futurists!
they are originally from chicago (where i am from) and they moved here right around the same time i did. i used to see them in the early 90's do plays like "Cannibal Cheerleaders on Crack" and "Co-Ed Prison Sluts" - they are hysterical.
Too Much Light is definitely their crowning acheivement.
I also saw "Eat the Taste" a while back with Greg (the writer) about John Ashcroft. Even my Dad, a hardcore Republican, was able to laugh his ass off over their stuff.
Highly recommended...
Oh..and they also are the people who brought us Urinetown a few years back.
