Events 3.15.06

SXSW has rendered this otherwise excellent event week a bit of a musical wasteland. To compensate, get wine-drunk with the Heebs as per the Almighty’s command, then follow up with some Guinness as per the Irish (I hear there’s a religious reason for them, too). Also, I just downloaded the streams for WFMU, East Village Radio, WBAR, WNYU, and WOBC (for kicks). So far WFMU is winning. I am listening to some weird remix of “Smoke On The Water” by Mattias IA Eklundh and “Man Alive” by the Who vs. Mick Jagger vs. Pink Floyd vs. The Beatles.
