The New Dumb

The New Dumb, playing tonight at Great Scott prior to going on what seems to be a simultaneous procreative hiatus. Here’s a track from a set last month at O’Brien’s.

The show is technically a CD release for Aloha Sarcophagus, with Nassy and Rat City 3, who has some tremendous (and what I assume will be seen someday as highly prescient) cover art on their demo.

Congratulations to Deep Ellum for getting the reader’s pick for Best Bar from The Phoenix! It is well deserved.

Other Allston winners include: Brown Sugar won Best Thai, Common Ground won Best Trivia Night, Le’s for Best Vietnamese, Sunset for Best Bar for Beer Selection, the 379 Club for Best Men’s Haircut, The Pill at Great Scott for Best Dance Night and Urban Outfitters for Best Women’s Clothes.

Moving on to the making-stuff-up section: Myung Dong 1st Ave won Best Place to Detonate a Soju-Bomb. Paint Pens in Purses won for Best Artist, Graffiti/Performance/Street (specifically for what they did at Marty’s, but previously mentioned here re: LAB). Even the alley behind our new Kelly’s gets a curiously biographical nod of sorts. And lastly, Blanchard won Best Wine & Liquor Store (a year post-puppy stomp, the collective mind has forgiven).

Anyway, congratulations to all!

I spent the last four days eating or asleep or both, and assume the same of all the rest of you. But it’s just about time to return to a state of wakefulness and non-thankfulness. Here’s Via Audio doing a fun little lofi thing on Great Scott’s deck.

The new Urban Outfitters behind Great Scott (from zacxwolf via @wellington_lee).

Relatedly in less overt judgmentalism, from the last GS spam mail.

Not to be outdone in the pill-OGness, Emergency Music will cap off our 2009 live calendar with a comeback performance destined for the ages on Dec. 11. The next day, they help open the new Urban Outfitters that’s just behind us, and you can draw your own conclusions on all that…
