FRIDAY:
>>> There is weirdly not a hell of a lot going on tonight ‚Äî here come the angry emails from bands who think that their show proves otherwise ‚Äî but really, just go outside and breathe in that fine autumn air. It’s so clean it almost burns. We recommend: Bottle of Smoking Loon in Washington […]

For many years now, James Sugg has been the Pig Iron Theatre’s secret weapon. Part sound designer, part musician, part actor, he’s been at the core of the group’s surrealist delight. He’s also been a member of The Brothers Suggarillo, the lecherous (yet funky!) cabaret duo that’s plays around town a bit ‚Äî and do […]

The Cobbs headline the Hancock Street Fair tomorrow. This video, by the way, is totally sweet.

After the jump, Philebrity and Tower Investments are proud to present a list of links to a bunch of the tables and vendors that will be at the Hancock Street Fair tomorrow. (At last count, there were 39 altogether.) It’s a really great group, and we’re psyched to have everyone ‚Äî especially all the folks […]

>>> We’re not totally sure, but we think tonight marks the first big out-of-town headliner at the freshly-cracked Johnny Brenda’s. The Boggs are an NYC/Berlin band that seems like they have 12 people in the band and each one of them wants the music to belong to a different genre. The result is this crazy […]

>>> Aw, come here, little guy! Mid-afternoon sugar crash got you down? Why, The Lemonheads are playing a free show tomorrow at noon at World Cafe Live with The Dears. More info on that one at XPNY1003HEADEDMONSTER.com.

“So Long” (in new censored, work-safe form) from our pals The Teeth.

Mistakes made. Goals exceeded. Feelings hurt. Bonds established. Trust earned. Friendships formed. Scoundrels exposed. Lawsuits filed. Projects completed. Schedules ignored. Expectations met. Victories celebrated. Losses mourned.
We kid, we kid. Happy birthday, City Paper. Now please, for the love of God, fire your art director ‚Äî the paper’s been ugly as sin since 1989. And it […]

Somewhere around the 13th inning last night, we couldn’t help but notice: DJ Steven Bloodbath and Phillies pitcher Rick White? Could it be? If so, Rick Rubin’s got a lot of ’splaining to do.

Sports-talk WPEN (950) has put its “When Will T.O. Blow?” contest on hold “indefinitely” out of respect to the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, says morning host/program director Gregg Henson.
The station several weeks ago started accepting listeners’ predictions on when the Cowboys would suspend, release or trade him. The Web site (www.whenwilltoblow.com) yesterday was still up. […]

The irony is that for the last year, much of the city - Council members, anti-smoking advocates, restaurant patrons and others - have been drumming their fingers on the bar, waiting for some movement on the bill that would finally ban smoking in restaurants and most bars. People - including this page - wanted to […]

Yesterday’s write-up of/intro to Yo La Tengo’s I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass produced a pair of like-wow dueling memory lanes.
First, Citizen Mom reveals — shocker — that she also was a Sundays fan:
So OK I, too, was at that YoLaTengo/Sundays show at the TLA back in high school, […]
