Summer concert fun continues!
Belle and Sebastian's 4th of July show, for those of you that missed it was incredible.
Gothamist coverage, The Modern Age coverage, and Brooklyn Vegan coverage.
I was slightly concerned by the prospect of the show getting rained out... I mean... they're from fucking Scotland for christ sake... if they can't deal with some rain damn it...
Yesterday was the inagural event at McCarren Park Pool, the newly opened mid sized venue in that hipster haven of Williamsburg / Green Point. Les Savy Fav headlined putting on one hell of a show for those of us who were able to stay away from the world cup.
Tim Harrington paraded around in his underwear and got sweaty for us as usual.
Turn out was lower than I expected... but thats because I'm in the dark and didn't realize the final game of the world cup was yesterday until I was watching temporary soccer fans run around flailing Italian flags.
Tonight I'll be going to see Cursive sans cello, plus horn section...
It will be interesting to say the least I'm sure.
Then on Thursday you have your choice, Okerville River at Castle Clinton, Yo La Tengo (performing the Sounds Of Science only) at the Prospect Park Bandshell.
Then Saturday is Siren with Tapes n' Tapes, Art Brut, and Man Man... hopefully I can get there early enough to catch those crazy bastards in Man Man...

That's because you are a clueless American and a clueless hipster. All of your knowledge comes from Pitchfork and blogs, you dumb lemming.
Thank you for destroying NYC. Please go back to the midwest or wherever you came from.

FUCK THE FUCKING WORLD CUP!!!
why did you think Cursive would be sans cello, sure their regualr cellist quit the band but that's a whole lot of popular songs to have been butchered without a cellist... it's a good thing you were wrong.
and really why the fuck would you have to see Man Man at Siren if we're seeing them in 2 weeks in Chicago? along with Tapes n' Tapes... and Art Brut is no prize to me, plus you just saw them... Siren is useless. if you go you better where sunblock because you're already starting to look gross naked thanks to your farmer tan.

One doesn't have to watch the World Cup to know that it is actually going on. Over 1 billion people actually watched it, how could you not know? But then again you were probably too busy listening to Sufjan or whatever bands bloggers tell you that you must like. Sheep.

or just listening to what I like?
Maybe you weren't busy being a sheep yourself and watching the world cup like everyother fucked up soccer hooligan asshole you could have come down and enjoyed a quality show where people came together and enjoyed them selves as opposed to getting drunk rioting and parading around their flags as if winning a 'futball' match actually means anything you self important prick.
