Well guys, just before DBF.com goes dark for the weekend, wanted to wish all the Americans a good and happy Independence Day on Saturday! I know BVaz is in NYC, and I’ll probably just be in Dallas wishing I was somewhere like NYC, but that’s only because I’m poor. The American Dream lives!
Although this week’s image is of neither Events nor Dallas, this weekend is special because it’s America Day on Saturday. Get some sun, get some friends, get some barbecue and some cold drinks, because our special day is by far the finest worldwide. In your FACES, rest of the planet! America Rules!
Fresh on the heels of killer David Byrne and Grizzly Bear shows the week came to a climax on a Thursday evening at the Granada when hometown girl Annie Clark AKA St. Vincent came through on the second to last date of her tour (before Austin and doing ACL-TV), and she absolutely killed it before a near sell-out crowd.

Love this song. Also love: how J always sounds mega-loud when doing an in-studio TV show performance. And also love: how J sounds mega-loud no matter what the circumstance.
I don’t have much to say because I wasn’t really old enough to appreciate Thriller when it came out. Can’t say I am affected at all by MJ’s death, but boy did this game rule!
So the week is winding down and you’re looking for something to do over the weekend? Lucky you, because the purpose of this post is to direct you towards some music in and around Dallas for this weekend, along with provide links to purchasing tickets, if available. Not sure I am going to be making it to any shows this weekend myself, but that should not stop you. Seeing a show without your pal Daigle is perfectly acceptable.

Let me be very clear: The Granada Theater did their best to ruin this concert experience for everyone – including every audience member and both bands. Luckily for everyone involved, the music was stellar. Many of the complaints I have with the venue that night, I articulated in my Open Letter to the Granada (read the comments there, too; I’m definitely not alone in my extreme displeasure with that venue), but making a long story short – the Granada failed to get anyone in on time, the line to get in was beyond a fiasco as it moved ultra slow – if at all at times, then once you got inside you were greeted by oppressive 90 degree temperatures for the whole show. Despite the Granada amateur hour, Grizzly Bear could not have been cooler and more accommodating, and thank goodness for that, because had they not been so great, the crowd would have been pissed. Venue issues aside, find my full review of the show after the jump along with sample MP3s, setlist, and our live photos. I think I’m still sweaty.

Just got word from my friend Cat about this; it’s the Virgin Mobile Free Festival, and as luck would have it, tickets are free. It is taking place on August 30 in Columbia, MD at the Merriweather Post Pavillion (yes, it’s an actual place, not just an Animal Collective album title). And the lineup is fairly kick ass. Especially for a free festival. Find it after the jump. [...Continue reading "Virgin Mobile Free Fest"]
The Talking Head himself took the stage at the Majestic last Sunday night to a packed (and hyped) house at the Majestic Theater here in downtown Dallas. He played some new stuff, a lot of old stuff, and the crowd ate it up like cash money. [...Continue reading "David Byrne – Majestic Theater – 6/14/09"]
