Rock Talk, Vol. IX
We're moving the weekly Live Music Calendar to Wednesdays to make room for our new weekly New CD Releases feature on Tuesday.
OK, let's pretend you have a five-day date with some wannabe Sirius radio DJ and you have to wade through everything the city has to offer this week. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Well, good thing you listen to everything we have to say! May we recommend that you start off in familiar territory with some vintage Doobie Brothers on Wednesday, then dance up your Thursday with some Galactic funk? Let Adam Levine and the Maroon 5 do it up on Friday, check out Fastball on Saturday, and then cap it all off on Sunday with the entire Buzzfest? Whew — we're exhausted, too!

Now this is a music calendar. Damn. Someone did their homework, cuz. Scout, Pro, Java, BLANCOS, Toyota!!! You have just made my life about 8000 times easier.
Wonder how many time WoW and Toyota Center have been mentioned in the same place. Oh and its Meridian not Median
I hope they are paying you well, my good man.
Dont miss Ghostland Observatory or Mute Math at Warehouse Live.
