This Weekend: Relax, Take Your Shoes Off, Sit A Spell
FRIDAY:
>>> So you like Anthony And The Johnsons, you big girl? Yeah, so do we. But it’s no slight on his talent to say he stands on the shoulders of this giant: Little Jimmy Scott, who performs at Zanzibar Blue on Friday and Saturday. If that’s too pussy for ya, you can go rock out with yer cockout with N’Awlins’ BlackFireRevelation and the apparently re-activated Unsane at The Khyber. Please let us know if there is anybody there with a vagina. We seriously have our doubts.
>>> Now, it shall finally be told in a clash of the space echo titans: The Walkmen versus Mazarin at the TLA.
>>> Also not to be denied: Mountain High, who hark back to Philly’s lost days of scuzz more than anyone else we can think of. With The Plants, who believe are somehow related to !!!/Chik Chik Chik. Tritone, 9:30pm.
SATURDAY:
>>> The most excellent Ween (see above for your belated Noontime Nug) plays the Jam On The River at Penn’s Landing with a whole buncha jam bands it would pain us to see listed on our web site, so we won’t. (Oh, wait! Whoops! They are.) Go to the Weener’s web site for details. You won’t regret it. You’ll be busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Haw-haw-haw. Or get your instro surf-rock fix at World Cafe Live with Los Straight Jackets. They wear Mexican wrestling masks! Ya get it? Oh, never mind. Just go to the Teeth/Buried Beds at Khyber.
>>> Stuck in Philly for the big weekend? Work up your BBQ appetite with the Masturbate-A-Thon. Yes, this is real, and no, by “Masturbate-A-Thon” we do not mean “read Philebrity/search Philebrity for your name/business.” No, this is much more of a Fleshbot thing.
SUNDAY:
>>> The beach, of course. Unless you’re a pussy about GIANT TIDAL WAVES. In which you can come to our barbecue with the rest of the landlubbers — if you can find it. Muhahaha! Hint: Look at the sky. Barring that we suggest a day trip up to Doylestown to the James Michener Art Museum for the last day of the Radical Vision: The Revolution Of American Photography 1945-1980, featuring Kerouac portraits by Ginsberg, Diane Arbus‘ freak-scenes, and Larry Fink’s captures of the things you miss when you blink.
>>> Please allow us to refer you to The Philebrity Reader for all pertinent details regarding the return of MadonnaMichaelPrince at The M Room. And while we’re at it, you should really just sign up for this Reader thing. It’s like Daily Candy for people with self-worth. Sign-up block at top center column. Do it.
MONDAY:
>>> Ride the wave, Chico. Ride.
