Asobi Seksu play the Troubadour Tonight Tonight's Pick:
Wrens / Asobi Seksu @ the Troubadour ($15) – The Wrens are out on the West Coast for the Be the Riottt festival in San Francisco. Hardly a prolific band, you just never know when they’re going to go back on a seven year hiatus. The founder of P-fork gave their last album a 9.5/10.

Damn can't believe that Islands show is just 13 bucks, I sorta' wish I wish going to that instead the Wrens/Asobi Seksu that apparently every blogger in America is going to and will inevitably praise to no end and I'll prolly just be mostly bored...truth be told I like that Islands record way more than I like The Meadowlands (though its a fine record in its own right).
well - i'm curious to hear how both shows are. friday nights are tough - i'm feeling way unmotivated to go out
