Music For The Fall
Today Pitchfork posted a clip of the lovely Marissa Nadler playing a new song somewhere from her never ending world domination tour. The video’s quality was bad, and being a new song it was little shaky, performance wise. Here’s a better one that does her beautiful voice justice; a cover of Leonard Cohen’s Chelsea Hotel …
Tonight at FireHouse 13
Off of the Fort Thunder listserv: An undulating cloud of mind-boggling psychedelia will be eminating from Firehouse 13 on Saturday September 15th… Hailing from a wide variety of places including Florida, New Jersey, and New Bedford Temple of Bon Matin will definitely bring the weird. They used to frequent Fort Thunder and even played there …

Party Hard: Punk Rock 101 @ Rock ‘n Roll High School
Something new has been earmarked onto Rock ‘n Roll High School, Club Hell’s long-running Friday party dedicated to 70’s and 80’s rock, metal, britpop and everything else night.

Live Tonight: Killing Pablo
Tonight at the newly moved/refurbished/expanded/way better Blackstone, Killing Pablo, The Propellors, and Shawn Waters and Groupthink find lots of ways to rock; gently, noisy, and with growling. Hit these links, have a listen and come on down for some r.o.c.k. The Blackstone, Pawtucket but closer to Providence, low low cover
Local Brilliance: The Brother Kite
There’s something about Providence where guitar-pop bands are often ignored and criminally overlooked. The Brother Kite most definitely suffers from this cold-shoulderism, and it’s a shame, because they are the most strikingly beautiful guitar band that Providence has ever known.

Led Zep Confirm Reunion
Led Zeppelin have confirmed their one-off reunion gig that will be held at the O2 Arena in London on November 26, or as the Brits say, 26 November. (What’s with that?) Tickets will start at $125 ( I couldn’t find the symbol for pounds) and will most likely increase exponentially to a reasonable 3-4 million …
Kanye Is A Giant Fucking Baby
Judging by the mostly-audio clib below, dude needs to chill a bit. Look, I’m sure it was insulting losing out to the Black Eyed Peas “lass year”, but really, why do you even want a VMA? It’s like an award for being the shittiest at what you do.
From The Dept. Of My Favorite Band Is Awesome
Anyone who has spent at least one half second around me this summer knows that I’m totally gay for The National. This song, and the incredibly sweet video that accompanies it completely nails my feelings about being single; it is the greatest thing ever while simultaneously sucking. Who needs a drink?
Live Tonight: Mustang Cobra, Neil Hamburger, Hilariousness
Yes, on the same stage! Metal gods Mustang Cobra, alternative lifestyle comedian Neil Hamburger and Pleasseasaur. Expect Maiden-sized riffage and Maiden-style comedy, all for the low low price of something-or-other. Livingroom, 8pm.
