Did the 1970s suck or what?!
Three Things:
1) Some of you really hate the 1970s, or more pointed, the bands that made a lot of money recording and playing their songs during that time.
2) Some of you clearly don't know the definition of the phrase "tongue-in-cheek." Look it up. Apply it to some of our writing. Connect the two. Watch lightbulb go off over your head.
3) As we wrote once before, we admit to coming off a little strong at the start and railing WeShotJR. Then we listed some bands we like, and some readers bitched that we like the same bands as them. Listen, we'll say it again. We like well-crafted songs, good melodies, and lyrics that say more than "My baby does the hanky-panky." This is where JR and us will cross recommendations sometimes. They like good songs and bands, too. Sometimes our opinions about what defines "good" will be different, and that's okay. Just like stonedranger said over there, we don't want a blog war. We just want to be another source for your local musical entertainment needs.
Speaking of...
Some Nighttime Activities...man, there's a lot going on this weekend
Friday
CATS & DOGS: A Benefit for the Denton Humane Society featuring jetscreamer, Record Hop, Hogpig, and The Nizzardz at Rubber Gloves in Denton. It's only $6, and you'll be helping our kinder and gentler friends. As much as we'd like to say this will be show of the night, we're going to have to go with the following in that category.
Show of the Night
The Theater Fire/Warren Jackson Hearne and the Merrie Murdre of Gloomadeers/Electric Mountain Rotten Apple Gang/W-Burn perform at the Cavern. Entry fee is $6.
Slaid Cleaves/Hayes Carll/Brian Keane are all at the Granada. We highly recommend Mr. Cleaves. Enough said.
Camera Obscura and Georgie James at the Gypsy Tea Room (tea room side). It's $12 to get in.
Blue Cheer and The Black Angels are at Hailey's. It costs $15, and DJ Wild in the Streets will be spinning between, before, and after the sets. Don't forget to take your drugs before you go, kids.
[DARYL] and Sparklepussy Barbie at the DoubleWide.
Boys Named Sue at Adairs in Dallas.
American Werewolf Academy and Team Evil at the Bar of Soap in Dallas. If Team Evil keeps it up, they may just find themselves listed in our Top 3 Best New Rock Bands in Dallas at the end of the year.
Get your art opening on the J. Michelle Martin-Coyne exhibit happening at Conduit Gallery from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. From the Web site: "Martin-Coyne's exhibition will include images of the live [Flaming Lips] performances as well as several stills from the Flaming Lips forthcoming science-fiction feature Christmas on Mars." DeeJay CeePee will be on hand playing records, as well.
There's also at art show at Road Agent Gallery from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. titled "Road Agent Ambush (Stand and Deliver: Your Money or Your Life)."
Saturday
Salim Nourallah/Chris Holt/Fishing for Comets/Boys Named Sue at Standard & Pours Coffee & Stocks (located at Southside Lamar) in Dallas. For $6, you can see what all the fuss is about surrounding Chris Holt and Salim Nourallah. But then again, their songs have a beginning, middle and end, so if you're scared of that, stay home and play your xBox, PS2, or whatever new gaming device has come out recently.
Live Wire (Mötley Crüe tribute band) at the Engine Room in Ft. Worth. We're serious.
Show of the Night
Prayer for Animals/Teenage Symphony/Haunting Oboe Music/Eat Avery's Bones at the Darkside Lounge in Dallas. Prayer for Animals' sound will appeal to your outer need to be hip and like things that are "experimental," while at the same time fulfilling your inner love for well-constructed songs that stick with you days after you leave the show. Cover is $6.
The Deathray Davies/The cut*off/Bobgoblin at the Wreck Room in Ft. Worth.
Las Munequitas de Muerte's Benefit for the Friends of the Family with Man Factory, The Pebble that Saved the World, Blackheart Society, and Art Howe. OMG! We mentioned Blackheart Society...this must really be their blog! Jesus, people.
