This Evening: Guys Who Sing Songs
>>>John Darnielle‘s The Mountain Goats, touring behind Transcendental Youth (one of First Mate Jim’s favorite records this year), will be playing the TLA tonight. Matthew E. White, who arranged the album’s horns, will be opening and lending his horning to the headliner as well.
>>>Our favorite Swedish Phillies fan who also writes and records music, Jens Lekman, is playing Union Transfer with Taken By Trees. The themes of the songs should be a little more light-hearted than the show above.
>>>The DesignPhiladelphia Festival continues, and you can check out the night’s scheduled events over here. But, if you’ll allow us to make some suggestions: Free Happy Hour/Hot Dogs/Open House at Bluecadet design studios, and a look at the creation of M. Night Shyamalan‘s house, with the home’s architect, at the Center for Architecture.
>>>And Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius, brings his own singer-songwritery slant to Johnny Brenda’s, with support from Dusted. Overall, it’s a perfect night to be this guy.
