Two great shows early this week, presented by Boston music bloggers. Slightly belated notice for a night of indie electro with Count Rockula and Cassette tonight (Sunday, April 19th) at the Middlesex Lounge, presented by Enough Cowbell. It’s a benefit for Cycle Kids, and you should go.
On Tuesday night (April 21st), Ryan’s Smashing Life presents a terrific lineup including z=z faves Logan 5 and the Runners, The Lights Out, Fishhawk, and Hundred Years War. It’s at Great Scott in Allston.
Cassette from My Ex is a lovely blog where posters, mostly writers, musicians and other creative types, share the stories behind mixtapes they’ve received, as well as streaming audio of the contents. My own love of mixtapes (more recently, of course, mix CDs) is well–documented, and I love this site. The first story I read was from Claudia Gonson, of the Magnetic Fields and more, and it’s an excellent place to start.
