Ok, so... We know one or two (of the five) that read this thing might want us to comment on the events that transpired over this past weekend. For anyone who showed up on Saturday night and stayed through basically Sunday morning to see seven wonderful groups of people play songs; sang and clapped along to those songs; and then gushed endlessly about those songs... we love you. For everyone who showed up the following day and spent Easter afternoon in the sizzling city sun, drank some wine, ate some food, shot some hoops, played some music, or just said hello to long lost friends... we love you too. Sometime around 4:30 this morning after we finally had a moment to think about the past few days, we cried ourselves to sleep and dreamt of future times like these to come... Yeah, yeah photos.
Back to reality...
Morgan Page releases his debut album, Elevate, this week on Nettwerk. Most of us probably first heard of Page when his bootleg remix of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" broke out before Tiesto's did, probably making a few people upset, but more importantly putting a spotlight on the DIY remixer's bootleg work which includes tracks from Coldplay, Sam Phillips, and Tegan and Sara. And it didn't take long after that for him to catch the ear of Nettwerk. The album includes guest appearances from lovely local ladies Lissie ("The Longest Road") and Camila Grey ("One Day") and features remixes of local bands The Submarines ("Peace & Hate"), Bitter:Sweet ("Dirty Laundry"), and Dengue Fever ("Sleepwalking Through the Mekong").
Summer Darling has postponed their appearance on GTFU this evening but tune in anyway because Tenlons Fort will be singing some songs and talking the talk. Also, tonight is the last night of the Warpaint residency. Go see them. Every night has gotten exponentially more amazing than the last... Evangelista has an in-store at Amoeba on Tuesday. Buy this album. Also, Prince b-day tribute at the Echo with Har Mar, Lemon Sun, Buddy, and others to benefit APLA and Global Inheritance. The great Jim White makes a long-awaited return to town with a show at the Silent Movie Theater. And Heather Reid does a super-rare solo show with a little help from Jill Sobule at Largo... Wednesday, The Henry Clay People, The Natural Disasters, and Downtown/Union each celebrate new releases at The Scene, presented by Squaregirls... And, Alex & Sam and Tenlons Fort playing together at the Hotel Cafe. What are the odds of that happening? Hmm...

as my weekend high wears off, an unsettling thought occurs to me: what if, after you experience a "divine comedy" lineup, you can't go back? will i forever be wanting more?
