We Would Make Such Good Cheez-It Partners
What's shakin', Better Cheddars? I'm back just in time to dye everything green and act like a retarded gorilla.

No St. Pat's plans yet? If you want to brave the sea of idiots, my top two recommendations are Great Scott for the tremendous bill of Baker, The Luxury, The Bleedin' Bleedins, and the Animal Closet, or, if you prefer your Irish shenanigans more early, more intimate and more Irish-ish, Jon Gorey will be holding down the Sweetwater Cafe from 4-7pm.

This Thursday is a bear. How dare The Rationales and Aloud go up against the LOST mini-finale? But, like a good scenester, I'll rely on someone else's DVR to meet Kevin Johnson, and I'm gonna hit BOTH shows. Because I'm a champ. The Rationales (who, by the by, sound transcendent and incendiary -- transcendiary! -- in their newest lineup) and Dan Cray open things up at Church (formerly the Linwood), and then I'll zoom zoom zoom over to Allston for Aloud's release of Fan the Fury at Great Scott. By the way, the album is already available on iTunes, if you're jonesin' wicked hard. I think they screwed up and were trying to keep it quiet, but you can count on Nate Diggity for the sweet scoop. (Actually, you can thank the keen eye of Rachel Cooper, who pointed it out to me).

Friday, Drug Rug is at the big room at the Paradise, The Gentlemen and Downbeat 5 are at the Abbey, and Hot Box is at PA's Lounge. I haven't actually seen Hot Box since some acoustic show at TT's but I promote them anyway! What a guy.

Saturday we'll be bringing our unique brand of post-Scamper funk to O'Brien's in the form of the Brendan Boogie Band (now with shitty MP3s available on the Myspace page!). Opening are the frightening prodigies of rock known as the Mystery Tramps, and Soap Stars close out the night.

Finally, The Luxury has put together a little video for their tune "Malcontent," featuring sock puppets and what I am told was an "inadvertant" scene of a sparkly sperm-covered female dancing inside an oversized pink vagina. Mm hmm. See for yourself.

Now be gone with you.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
