Lots of good shows to catch if you happen to be in DC this Holiday week:
Mon 12/26 COTTON CANDY with Alice Despard and Girl Choir (TLA) at Galaxy Hut [link]
Tue 12/27 4th Tuesday Freakout and Dinner Theatre with Degollado and the plums at Dynasty [link]
Wed 12/28 Heavy Breathing, Chain [...]
A bonus track “Polvo” from the Japanese version of Mirror Traffic that Malkmus and company have been playing out live for quite awhile now. Enjoy. (image from daytrotter)
Also enjoy these entertaining SM quotes compiled by @malitzd.
Tweeted by David Pajo, here’s 56 minutes or so of Royal Trux Live at the Cooler circa 1998 that sounds pretty fantastic. (There’s a quick popup to deal with but just close it out and hit play.)
In a few short days I’ll be checking out the AnCo at Pitchfork Festival in Chicago — in the meantime, enjoy this piece by Chris Richards in the WaPo.
In concert: Animal Collective at Merriweather Post Pavilion – Click Track – The Washington Post.
Absolutely the best show on television right now — that is, until Curb Your Enthusiasm starts up again this Sunday. Who doesn’t love Todd Barry? That should be a sitcom on its own someday.
Kurt Vile “Baby’s Arms” vs. The War on Drugs “Baby Missiles”
An indie rock showdown — Vile out on his own versus his former band. Just for kicks: which tune is better? Which video is better? I love it all really.
Now we know why Homer weighs so much: he’s eating too many Big Macs. Seriously, Fox is capping off their 20th anniversary celebration of The Simpsons by hiring Super Size Medirector Morgan Spurlock to direct a documentary of the show.
