Rodriguez Appears at El Rey on SaturdayStrong week for shows. Unfortunately a lot of them happen on Saturday (and I can't go to any shows on Saturday).

[Pick of the Night] Dinosaur Jr. / Earthless @ Troubadour ($30) – Not sold out yet - the steep price must have scared some people away.
[Recommended] Elvis Costello @ Amoeba Records (Free) – 8:00 PM show. I have a feeling this might get crowded…

[Recommended] Castledoor / Local Natives / The Glass Beef / Music For Animals @ Spaceland (Free) – Castledoor has been packing in big crowds. I heard somewhere that Local Natives will be doing the August Spaceland residency (but don’t quote me on that because things change).

[Pick of the Night] Rodriguez / Brightblack Morning Light / Glasser @ El Rey ($20) – Big ups to Light in the Attic Records for reissuing Rodriguez’s two early 1970’s albums. They’re two of my favorite reissues of recent years. You need them…
