This Weekend: Decoder Rings, Potato Pancakes And Oh My!
Friday:
>>> Cootie Shot is BACK! Get the And Dim Sum whump-whump on lockdown, as Fugee-approved Phil Moore Brown breaks necks and thyself in a race to the earth’s molten core of bubbling awesomeness. At Silk City. (And yes, all the weekend picks this week will be written in a hipster patois so deep you’ll need a fucking decoder ring.)
>>> Before that, the kissyfaces at Rockpile are staging an art opening at the Ubiq Boutique at 1509 Walnut. Who’s showin’? Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Tim Gough, Keren Richter, Maya Hayuk, Todd Alan Breeland, Jesse O., JB Classics, Rob Barber and Chris Lawrence. And our very own Julie G. spins. 8-10pm, free PBR and VitaminWater because those biters want to be us.
>>> Also: Pearl Jam with Sleater-Kinney at the Borgata, with little to no sense of irony. Welcome to the belly of the beast, you humorless paragons of everything we hated about the ’90s anyway!
Saturday:
>>> Perhaps the greatest show of the new M Room era! Spinto Band/National Eye/Pas-Cal/Illumina. And yes, we already gave away those tickets. Deal with it. More info here.
>>> And Intensified is back, too, upstairs at The Khyber. There’s some kind of Pixies DVD giveaway going on, but personally, you could not pay us to watch Black Francis preach to the converted while audibly gaining weight and whittling their legacy and relevance away like so much NoLibs jukebox overkill. Instead, go for the soul/reggae/ska that is the Instensified Sound System stock-in-trade. To wit:
Intensified Sound System: Darren’s Soul Reggae Jamz [mp3 mixtape]
Intensified Sound System: Kyle’s Soul Wigout [mp3 mixtape]
Sunday:
>>> Go to the Mercer. Read more about Loog. Play stickball.
