The best of the best this weekend, as selected by your friendly but eccentric uncle Mike.
In which “The Expo Strikes Back”! Also, dude, I’m OD’ing on gigs right now. Shanghai, are you trying to be a real music city or something?
I defy Dan Shapiro. Though of course the expo could have more awesome music, there’s definitely more awesome stuff than usual, and now that it seems no clubs are getting shut, the only lame thing about it (musically, anyway. I can relate to the idea that it’s too much money to spend on this kind of thing) is that Topfloor Circus got shut down. I mean, as wrong as that is, I’ll take Herbie Hancock and Cafe Tacvba.
Well hey, it looks like music spots aren’t closing after all, and there’s bunches of stuff going on, so enjoy it.
Update: Now with the Anar Two Year Birthday Party and the Taylor Ho Bynum show, both on Sunday, in the comments. In which I take a break from writing a mind-blowing arrangement of the Love Radio 103.7 theme, with the only goal being to hip you all to this weekend’s awesomeness.
Well that was a nice little rest, wasn’t it? I did almost nothing for the past few days except eat, sleep, and look at fireworks. I also did some drinking. Anyway, vacation is over now and the party must continue! It will be a gradual acceleration for the next week or so though, as YYT remains closed and other happenings are mostly subdued.
