This Saturday marks the 2007 PLUG Awards. Big news for indie music. Probably not huge news for you, since it’s been sold out for weeks. I attended last year for PopMatters, and despite a free ticket and drinks, still found myself submitting a fairly scathing review. I’m hoping this year’s will be better. I’m hoping […]
Sex and Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll
Ian Dury was on to something, I tell you. Is there a better combo than the headlining trifecta above? I’m hard-pressed to come up with one.
