The Big Pink and the Smith Westerns were supposed to play July 29 at the Middle East Downstairs. That’s not happening. If you bought tickets, go to the Middle East and get your money back or get tickets to see their replacement –> Dead Prez, the critically acclaimed political hip-hop duo. Check out their songs “It’s Bigger Than Hip Hop” (2000) and “Far From Over” (2010).

“It is mentally ill and sick to buy into this manufactured hype.”
“Everything is going to hell in a hand basket.”
“We are a degenerate society crumbling.”
“You better learn history! The globalist social engineers look at you and how pathetic you are. The whole world is waiting to see where LeBron James goes. The social controllers look at you and see how you are obsessed with LeBron James. We’ve got a bunch of schmucks right where we want them. Let’s destroy their society.”

ACQUIRE RECORDINGS.
This is probably one of the longest, most interesting interviews I’ve read. Great material.
If anyone is in Vegas from October 1 to October 3, you might as well buy tickets for this. You know. Lots of good bands.
BOSTON GLOBE [JULY 5]
The police raid on his Green Side Up Gallery was one of three since April in Allston, where police have been cracking down on so-called head shops, stores that sell pipes and rolling papers that can be used to smoke marijuana.
The busts were well planned. Officers took photographs of the shops before making their arrests, and interviewed North End tobacconists to bolster their argument that the Allston shops were selling drug paraphernalia.
“We’re not looking to put anyone out of business [who is] running a legitimate business,’’ said Captain James Hussey, who runs the Brighton district. “These places were set up, it appears, just to sell drug paraphernalia.’’
Lawyers for those arrested say the shops were licensed by the city and state to sell the products, and police had no basis for shutting down the shops. But Hussey said two of the shops — neither of which belonged to Yaffe — did not have proper licenses displayed.

Talk about liberty infringement! Cops love making assumptions about illegal activity without any regard to…wait for it…illegal activity. How about that? It’s like when an old geezer cop questioned my friend for using a hookah in a park. The officer made three assumptions that were pretty disturbing: (1) that the smoking device was a ‘bong’ (2) that my friend was smoking marijuana and (3) that hookahs or, in the officer’s slang ‘bongs’, are illegal to sell and to possess. As a commenter on the article wrote: “Welcome to the new police state people, they will be coming for you next!”

The Pool Parties held on the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn are back again this summer! No Age and The Strange Boys are just about the only names that stick out to me. I tried to catch No Age at one of their Williamsburg shows last year except it poured. It poured hard. Figuring it got canceled (which I think it did), we ditched Brooklyn. No Age is set to play on July 25, but August 1 would have been much better, ‘yo. That’s because I might be going on the Black Lips NYC cruise on the 2nd. I would have been in town. There’s a shot the Lips could play that August 1 date. The bands haven’t been announced yet.
Yup, the site will no longer exist beginning on July 25, 2010.
