Heads up, as I may not be able to post in-depth today:

THE HONG KONG and THE HARLEM SHAKES are playing a sweet show tonight at Sin-E. Be there or truly run the risk of being square.

The Hong Kong: Truthflies MP3 Page

The Harlem Shakes: White Note

And also, THE GIRAFFES are playing the Coral Room tonight with NERVOUS CABARET. That's what we at LARS like to call a sweet bill.

The Giraffes: Manchester United Video, which was shot by the man of all things great photography, Todd Kancar.

Nervous Cabaret: Page 13

And finally, an addiction:

This is by far one of the weirdest mp3s I've been addicted to. It can also be quite frustrating to listen to, being that once every 45 seconds or so, it'll kick up into this incredible guitar/drums/keyboard rhythm accompanied by this killer melody, only to fade away again in obtuse experimentation. But for those 45 seconds, it's pure Holy Night heaven. And that is why DEERHOOF are at the head of the art-rock genre that's coming out of the cities (in this case, San Francisco). If I were a booker, this band would've opened up for Franz Ferdinand in a heartbeat. For now, just rock out to this crazy song:

Holy Night Fever

Just play with me/And you won't get burned-S.
