Lots to do this coming week... Kate Earl returns after some time being holed up writing for a new record. "Beats!!," she Blackberried us. Word to your mother, Kate. She performs at the Hotel Cafe at 9pm tonight... Speaking of beats, anyone check out the new J5? Not into that Dave Matthews track at all (and that was before we even knew that was DM), but the rest of the album is fairly standard old school Jurassic with "Red Hot," "End Up Like This," and "Baby Please" the most likely to hit a nerve with hip-hop heads. Storch's production on "Brown Girl" is a good change of pace for the group but kind of reeks of "We need Black Eyed Peas kinda money." J5's new album Feedback comes out 7/25 and they perform at the HOB on 7/24 and 7/25... Lisa Germano also putting out a new album this past week entitled In the Maybe World and it's easily one of the most beautiful records of the year. She performs at Largo on 7/27 before going on her first tour in a few years... Anyway, later on tonight, Sennett and Runion of The Elected perform at Spaceland with Whispertown 2000 and Bellows from Neva Dinova... Those of us who still think Reign in Blood is one of the greatest albums of all time will probably be drowning in sweat at the Long Beach Arena when Slayer's "Unholy Alliance" finishes up their U.S. dates. We haven't seen them in almost two decades so we fully expect to be crushed by many kids who weren't even born in 1987. Hooray. New Slayer album, Christ Illusion, hits stores on 8/8... After which, we'll be grabbing our glowsticks and pacifiers before heading out to Giant Village to catch Digweed, Deep Dish, and anyone else spinning until 4am. This lineup almost makes people forget what happened seven months ago... You can't get anymore intimate when Cat Power returns to McCabe's Guitar Shop on 7/27. One of the first places L.A. ever saw Ms. Power throw a tantrum... For the two people not going to Flaming Lips on Sunday, 400 Blows performs at Spaceland with Oneida... Shoot Out the Lights have been working on their new album for a few months but come out for a good lineup at the KF with The Clean Prophets and others on Monday... Since we're on a new release furore, we should also mention that Silversun Pickups, Mika Miko, Earlimart, John Doe, and Flogging Molly all have albums out this week (details below)... Bundle up, it's cold outside.

Does anyone know if Gregory Page (singer/songwriter from San Diego) will be performing anywhere in LA? I recently heard his album, Love Made Me Drunk, and it is Great!
