Not content with anything less than total blogosphere domination, XPN guru/SVB curator Bruce Warren has opened up shop on yet another URL, this one a Philly-only music blog called Philadelphia Freedom. Suffice to say, we're as impressed with his content as we are with his sources, though whatever connection the local scene has with a defunct indoor pro soccer team remains a mystery.
Bought will-call tickets to an R5 show, but can't go? Now you can change the name that the tickets are being held under. Gals, this is also a useful trick if you want to emasculate your boyfriend by making him publicly claim those Stars tickets you bought.
Glad to see that the BM Ranters are just as excited about the Okkervil River's October show as I am (the performances I've witnessed at The Khyber have both been jaw-droppingly awesome). And yes, the new album is just as good as everybody's saying it is.
Pardon the absence of speculation from the 'Stamps concerning this year's Mercury Prize nominees, but this one's a ginormous no-brainer. With all due respect to the New Young Pony Club, future-freaky Klaxons should win by a length of at least four horsemen. Side note: 10/9 @ The TLA? YES!!!
And a quick weekend round-up: Tokyo Police Club tonight at JB's. Brown Recluse Sings Friday night at Sal's. A very funky Budos Band also Friday night at WCL. And Dave P's night of cocainebirthdayjams and exclamationpointanthems on Saturday, when Making Time hosts Los Campesinos! and Metronomy at Transit. Go forth and dancify.
