The Noise Pop festival is here again! Since "noise pop" is my absolute favorite type of music, I am very excited about this.
The festival describes itself as six nights of "unforgettable performances by nationally-known indie rock, electronic, punk and cutting edge musical artists teamed up with the best local bands, transforming the city into an almost week-long celebration of the finest that the underground and not-so-underground has to offer."
I'm definitely seeing Magnetic Fields this Friday, whom I've seen twice before (never mind their other offshoot bands) and I love, love, love them! It will be great fun. I don't know if I'll get to see anyone else because a lot of the bigger names like the Gutter Twins and The Mountain Goats are sold out already, but it's still a great chance to see some great bands. In past years I've seen Smoosh, Dressy Bessy and The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players (pure genius.) All were great and I highly recommend trying to catch a show.
to all my scrabble-playing peeps out there:
Is MacArthur Park by Donna Summer the stupidest song ever or is it just me? Is she really singing about leaving a cake out in the rain? "I don't think I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it"? WTF?
