Wednesday Night Music Options 1/17/07

Tonight's Pick:

Cut Chemist @ Safari Sam’s ($15) – Of course there’s something to be said for DJs like Girl Talk who get people dancing and having fun. But for my money, I’d much rather see a crate digger, turntablist like Cut Chemist. I can relate to a guy whose passion is hunting down obscure records. He’s performed with Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli and done bootlegs with DJ Shadow.

Also worth seeing:

Patrick Park @ Hotel Café – Much more talented than your average coffee shop singer-songwriter. He also plays with Sea Wolf (who just signed to Dangerbird Records, by the way).

Don't know much about these:

Daphne Loves Derby / Meg and Dia / Ronnie Day @ the Knitting Factory ($14) – A bunch of Myspace bands.
Club NME: Kristin King / War Tapes @ Spaceland (?) – If you message the War Tapes on Myspace they’ll put you on the list.
Dub Club: Winston Jarrett @ the Echo ($10)
