Bisbee Blues Festival 2011

Since the day is coming up quick, I just want to remind anyone who has stumbled upon this site that this Saturday, September 17th, is the 7th Annual Bisbee Blues Fest held at Warren Park.  This is a great local event that has done great things for the Southeastern Arizona music scene.  This is first year I'll be able to attend and I will be volunteering as a beer girl, so you're welcome to stop buy and say Hi from 4-8, which is when my designated shift will be.  I'll be the short girl.  Additional information is listed below.

CMJ Line-Up Announced

The line-up for the CMJ festival -- set for October 18-22, 2011 in New York City -- has been announced.  It has some good ones from what I can see -- EMA, Dum Dum Girls, Datarock, and CSS to name a few.  I live nowhere near NYC, so it's pretty safe to say I won't be there.  But, for those of you who have the option, you can see the whole list here, as well as watch a Dum Dum Girls music video. 

I think I'm done for tonight.  I'm hella tired from waking up early to play chauffer for everybody and their weird uncle.  Oh, hello, semi-comfortable queen-sized bed....fancy meeting you here....

You had me at "Psycho-Opera"

Apparently, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's frontwoman, Karen O, is collaborating with The Creators Project on a performance known only as "Psycho-Opera."  Now, I have no f*cking clue what it's about but, from the bare bones I got from the Pitchfork article, it sounds crazy awesome.  I've deduced that it must be an artistic mindf*ck of epic proportions just based on the press release's enigmatic-and-totally-useless summation of the project. Playwright Adam Rapp will be directing and the Studio are slated as the producer.  Check it out at Pitchfork.
