Hey peoples,
Sa-riot's put together some Blueline Picks for the weekend and gives a heads-up about exciting shows on the horizon (The Books! ... Boomslang Fest!). Peep 'em and go have some fun.
Two supplemental picks for tonight (Friday) - if you're looking for some good indie rock, go see The High Water Marks, Idaho, Alaska, and The Nativity Singers at Al's. And, if turntablism turns you on, go to Lower 48 and see the 2008 DMC world champion DJ SPS.
Oh ... if anyone's interested in going to the Lexington Art League's 4th Friday event tonight, I've got a few tix to giveaway. (Gumbo Ya Ya's putting up free food, so they gave us some comp tickets.) If you're interested, stop by Ya Ya (1080 S. Broadway - next to Buffalo Wild Wings) or holler at me and I'll try to hook you up.
Hope all are well.

Hey errybody,
I'm waking Blueline up from a long nap because there's some great haps coming up in Lexington and I wanted to make sure everyone was awares.
Be sure to check out the website for Boomslang, Lexington's 3-day, multi-venue sound & art festival on October 9-11 featuring Os Mutantes, Faust, The black Angels, Shipping News, Papa M and more!)
Firstly and foremostly...
Bullhorn is bringing experimental library-folk-sound collage duo THE BOOKS to Lexington on Monday, September 21! This promises to be one of the most memorable shows in a while. Not only because of the unique nature of The Books, whose strangely beautiful soundscapes are composed of non-traditional instrumentation as well as various found sounds (thrift store cassettes, self-help tapes), but because it's at The Miller House, Lexington's amazing modern architectural marvel. The show is a benefit for the Foundation for Advanced Architecture and will be a multi-media experience; stay tuned for more kickass details in the very near future, but go ahead and mark your calendars stat. (co-sponsored by You Ain't No Picasso, WRFL and Blueline)
Secondly, in light of recent news of the Dame's closing, there have been a couple recent articles about Lexington's changing music scene, namely the opening of two new music venues very soon (Buster's and Cosmic Charlie's, formerly known as Lynagh's Club).
