This Weekend ....

layin the smack down!!

i'd suggest thomas hardy instead of dickens, but that's just my cup of tea.

the decemberists rule, i can't wait for the new album / 930 show … has anyone sold their copy of colin meloy sings morissey for $3,000 yet?

First, "Chimbley" is a real word. Moreover, it's a Victorian word and, thus, fits perfectly with the theme of the album. Pitchfork should try not to flaunt their etymological and literary ignorance. They should read a little more Dickens.

Second, the name of the song is Chimbley "Sweep" not "Sweet." Both the band's website and the label's website list the song as "Chimbley Sweep." I'm not sure where Pitchfork got "Sweet" from.

Labeling the band "geeky" may very well be accurate, but Pitchfork should remember that the first rule of being snarky is getting your facts right.

Duly noted. Will the Pitchfork author now recommend a wedgie for iTunes as punishment for the misspelling?

Is your dad from the Ozarks?

GGW,

Read my previous post for an explantion of the Swee"T" fuck up.

And for what it is worth chimbley is not in Dictionary.com or several other online dictionaries, although it is probably how my dad would try to say and spell it.

Clem Snide
â?¢ Next: 3/4 , CANCELLED;
Black Cat
1811 14th St. Nw
Washington, DC 20009
202-667-7960

found this on AOL City Guide … can anyone confirm the cancellation? its still listed on the cat's website…

only issue is that I can't seem to find out how to put an umlaut over the "n" in Spinal Tap … any ideas?


FRIDAY
The Secret Machines â?? at 930 Club â?? have been turning heads with an intoxicating concoction of old-school psychedelic jams and hooky indie rock, replete with a uniquely stark light show. Hopefully youâ??ll be treated to their gorgeous shoegazey cover of Dylanâ??s â??Girl from the North Country.â?

Clem Snide â?? at Black Cat â?? defies stock alt-country conventions to create a timeless and diverse sound that highlights frontman Eef Barzelayâ??s remarkable singing and songwriting talents. Archer Prewitt (formerly of post-rock supergroup The Sea and Cake) opens.

The cozy Ramâ??s Head Tavern in Annapolis is the perfect spot to catch Austin roots rocker Alejandro Escovedo. Known for his mesmerizing live performances, Escovedo informs his excellent Americana-drenched tunes with his rebellious cowpunk background.

Soulfly â?? at Jaxx, in Springfield â?? features ex-Sepultura frontman and heavy metal luminary Max Cavalera. Openers Death by Stereo veer more towards thrashy metal than their poppier So-Cal skatepunk brethren. Attendees should go ahead and schedule an appointment with their ear doctor for Monday morning.

SATURDAY
After innumerable opening gigs for hotly tipped indie bands, Ambulance Ltd. finally have the spotlight to themselves. Headlining at Black Cat, the impeccably coiffed NYC quartet play dreamy pop, but arenâ??t afraid to wander into grittier territory. Openers include VHS or Beta and Robbers on High Street.

A wizened sage of underground rock and lo-fi pioneer, Lou Barlow brings his decades of experience in legendary bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, and The Folk Implosion, to Iota. Acclaimed local songwriter Karl Straub opens.

Notorious rabble-rouser George Carlin peels himself away from his dusty Atlantic City and Vegas haunts to perform his stand-up at the stately Warner Theatre. While Carlinâ??s incendiary views on religion, politics, and American society havenâ??t mellowed with age, his sharp tongue has grown a bit tired in recent years.

Sure, youâ??ll have to scrounge for a ticket to this sold out show at 930 Club and struggle through insipid nu-metal imitators like Chevelle, but post-hardcore innovators Helmet are well worth your wait. Reunited after a six year hiatus, Helmetâ??s â??Meantimeâ? remains one of the best hard rock albums of the 90s.

SUNDAY
As mock-rocker David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap declared, â??Itâ??s like a pair of eyes. Youâ??re looking at the umlaut, and itâ??s looking at you.â? Thatâ??s right, German punctuation trailblazers Mötley Crüe are back at MCI Center. Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and the gang use a little less hairspray now, but their misogynist pop-metal hits still rock.

Head to the Black Cat backstage say a proper farewell to indie popsters The Small Shouts, playing their final show. Donâ??t worry, you can catch tireless Small Shoutâ??s member Olivia Mancini perform with the Washington Social Club nearly every weekend at a club near you.

Their final show? Really? That didn't last long.

"Remarkable" is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of Eef Barzelay's (Clem Snide) singing talents.

So that's who was posting all that mind-control chemical cloud nonsense a few weeks ago…

read down to the comments...

bummer - they were fun :confused:

I think the band is pretty decent, but his voice is the epitome of the whiny Jew. Hell, I'm sad to say that even Bigyawn agrees with me on that one.

He just sounds like Gilbert Gotfried with a guitar to me (sometimes).
