So, we posted something we weren't supposed to, an mp3 we believe, and the Web Sheriff decided it was time to usurp our Very Best post from the blog...So be it. But, we are back to announce once again that The Very Best (Esau Mwamawaya & Radioclit) will be performing in NYC at Bleecker St.'s Le Poisson Rouge tonight! Tickets are still available on LPR's website -- doors open at 11:00 pm. Be sure to come early to dig openeing set of QUE BAJO?! as well. Should be a sweaty, debaucheries time. Can't wait.

Your New Favorite Band: The Wild Yaks
There is a good chance that after seeing the Wild Yaks live, we will be changed people. According to several very reputable sources (thanks John and Sheryl) this new punk/rock/americana band from Brooklyn is not to be missed. Fader has taken to begging folks to get out to one of these shows. Who are we to say no? To be sure, we're not experts on the band's background, but we don't really give a shit - it's not that important. What is important, is the guarantee that when you see this band live: A. They will probably be wasted. B. You will probably get wasted. C. There will be yelling, singalongs, dancing and awesomeness. D. It will be a superb time. It's sort of like if The Replacements met the Black Lips and kicked the shit out of 1994 Jay Farrar. (Sorry Jay). They play Cameo on Sunday night 7/19 and Glasslands 7/25. See you there.

Pool Party Part II: Dirty Projectors, Magnolia Electric Co., Crystal Antlers
Another Jelly NYC Pool Party at the Williamsburg Waterfront is rapidly approaching, and this time, the bill is a bit more, well, blogger friendly (at least in our eyes.) The Dirty Projectors, as you know, are vying for record of the year with Bitte Orca; yet, the extremely massive Magnolia Electric Co. catalog, with newest edition Josephine, continue to satisfy our mellow souls daily. Crystal Antlers, who are replacing White Denim (much to our bemuse) are a dark horse for us -- their EP did receive a "Best New Music" from Pitchfork in 2008, while their newest album Tentacles, has been met with mixed reviews. Needless to say, we are loving the set of up the new Pool Parties and can't wait to see how the intricate sounds of the Dirty Projectors translates to the outdoors, and how Magnolia handle the sunshine.
See you all there!
