I hope that you all are having crazy times with barbeques and fireworks and all the righteous hoopla which Memorial Day allows. As if the wondrous times couldn't get any better, there's a great show tonight at Don Hills which I think you all should attend. THE HARLEM SHAKES shall be playing Trash, which I think in and of itself constitues a holiday. They've matured tremendously as a band, and their material is so tight live, it's practically begging for Top 40 airplay. See 'em while they're still humoring small spots on the West side. It's 511 Greenwich at Spring; the Trash party featuring DJ Ultragrrrl and bands My Favorite, Americana, and The Good North; 18+ and either $5 or $10 depending on whether y'all are underage. Rock it hard tonight friends, and party like there's no work tomorrow.

Some Shakes pics from the gig at CBGBs:

And finally, a great music quote I found while at work. It's courtesy of the spring issue of Plantet.

"We are poets. We need our muisc. We need to be cured by our own music."

-Jean-Benoit Dunckel of Air.

Sometimes/All I need is the air that I breathe/And to love you-S.
