It List: Wednesday 9/13/06

Hey, did you hear that Sufjan Stevens (link) is playing tonight? And did you hear that it is sold out, so it is probably pointless for me to even mention it unless you are willing to go down to Lakewood Theater and hustle for a ticket that you will probably have to pay at least $50 to get your hands on? Ok. I'm not really a big fan anyway, but I know a lot of you are, so I'll tell you that My Brightest Diamond is opening, and that her slightly dark orchestral pop seems solid if fairly run of the mill. But not bad. Will probably be pretty powerful live.

For those that won't be doing that tonight, I would recommend:

Current Leaves/ Backsliders (Dada): You know the deal. Current Leaves seem to be earning praise from just about everyone in town lately, and their residency is probably a big part of that. People have been loving the shit out of their live shows, and I bet you will too.

or

The Party w/ Dj Nature @ Rubber Gloves. If you're going to be dumb enough to miss the party at zubar on Friday, I would go to this if I were you. Thank god I'm not.

And I almost forgot, you can check the Flashlight Party at Hailey's as well, playing punk, new wave, italo, disco, post punk, funk and whatever else. Bouncing from Haileys to Rubber Gloves is a good way to spend a Wednesday night.
