The surprise guest at Sound Fix Records is Dr. Dog, who’s also playing Bowery Ballroom tomorrow (cancelled). I’d be really curious to see Amanda Jo Williams at Cake Shop. The girl seems quite out of her mind, and has left me wanting to uncover more. She’s playing with Girls In Trouble (fiddling superstar Alicia Jo Rabins), whose song “Who Sent the Heat” I love, and 6 Jaguar. Puddin’ Tang, also quite out of their minds, have their residency at Don Pedro, where they’re playing with Sorceress. Joan of Arc and Ponytail return to join Flocking Associates (Katie Eastburn of Young People) at Knitting Factory’s main stage. North Carolina’s Megafaun will support Takka Takka’s Pianos residency, as will Peasant, who you should definitely listen to on their myspace, and Get Him Eat Him (I still can’t get over the dude’s voice–it rankles me for no reason). Ed Harcourt is playing Rehab, and Bound Stems, Rahim and Muggabears are playing at Union Hall. Callers sounds great in “More than Right”, and is playing with Spectre Folk and Chris Forsyth at Union Pool.

If you don’t have your entry into Karen O’s Native Korean Rock & The Fishnets shows at Union Pool, or if you simply won’t swallow the foofaraw, other interesting options seem to be The Death Set, The Mae Shi, Ponytail, Joan of Arc and Totally Michael Muggabears at Market Hotel or Megafaun, Kitchen Cabinet and Data Dog at Silent Barn, unless you haven’t tired of twenty-dollar-plus tickets or Jarvis Cocker, in which case he’s playing at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Should you head to Market Hotel, though, you’ll want to learn the lyrics to Totally Michael’s “Casual Satisfaction” Looks like Muggabears has replaced Totally Michael.
Numbers and Letters may have taken up residence in Brooklyn, but they’re Americana all around (“…[their] songs are sparse, lush and sad, with a tinge of hope that comes from growing up in a flat, quiet place”). They’re playing at Mercury Lounge with Linfinity, who offers their EP Songs of The Weeping Willow for free. And if drinking at Pete’s Candy Store, you’ll catch Will’s Electric Space Trumpet and Chris Masterson for free.
