A Tribute to MLK Jr. w/Norman Jay & DJ Spinna @ Cielo – Sun, Jan. 20
posted by Jay on January 9, 2008
I saw Norman Jay play in SF (when I was still in college and rather friendless), and he rinsed the most raw and unknown funk I’d ever heard with disco. And all these kids my age were going nuts on the dancefloor. (Can’t vouch for the Cielo crowd this time, but I’m sure he’ll pull out the jams for MLK Day).
Good Times [mp3] Check the second segue!

Dexplicit is the guy who did the Lethal Bizzle track “Pow” [mp3], which if you’re into your grime supposedly got banned from clubs for its ability to induce gang violence. Insanely fun “speed garage” or “bassline house” or “niche” on his MySpace. Looking forward to hearing him on the Love soundsystem. $10 reduced list.
Foals @ Bowery Ballroom – Tues, Feb. 12

Band from Oxford. Very post-punk. Very art-rock. Can-not argue with the venue – still my favorite. $13 advance tix.

4 misguided azns tainting the otherwise uniformly Victorian-garbed art-rock crowd. Girls with bobs, guys with white, ruffled shirts. Special guest was Hatcham Social. Unfortunately missed Ipso Facto due to our taking 3 trains in the wrong direction and getting lost in Shoreditch. And how could I not mention The P.I.X’s lovely selection of oldies. The countdown to midnight was unnoticeably nonexistent.
