You Get in a Heat, You Get in a Sulk


The heat...

So Sunset Junction should be fun. We'd love to join you but we hate the sun. That rhymed. Plus, we're saving our sweat for Fuck Yeah Fest next week. However, the must-sees this weekend are our friends The Parson Red Heads (first band show in a few months), The Culver City Dub Collective (all-star lineup), The Pity Party (who next year will probably be doing European festivals instead of slumming it with local ones), the goddess that is Medusa, Morris Day & the Time (as limber as ever), Bobby Matos (a local legend, educator, and purveyor of Afro-Cuban jazz), Buzzcocks (of course), Eskimohunter (to see if they can pull off their sonic light show at high noon), The Airborne Toxic Event (the anxiety and frustration of not being able to play a show up to the festival will undoubtedly make for an explosive performance), and The Movies ('cause they effing rule). As for Blonde Redhead and Autolux, go see them at the Wiltern on 10/25 instead so as to not let one decibel of their grandiosity out into the night air...

What? There are other things happening this weekend besides Conjunction Junction? Well, Buzzcocks are doing a warm-up show at Spaceland tonight... Root for Zanzibar Lewis at the Key Club tonight as she battles less-worthy bands for that Star 98.7 Rock Star contest... Tofu Fest... Hang the DJs 4 Year Anniversary/Official Sunset Junction after-party at The Echo with The Submarines and Pop Noir on Saturday... Beastie Boys begin a three-night affair with Los Angeles on Sunday... And Esthero and One Trick Pony redux at the Roxy on Sunday (an instant replay of their show last year together -- the first time we fell in love with OTP).

Oh, the heat.
