It is Thursday.
And if you're not in Miami, WMC-ing it away, then you may be interested in what is going on in our fair city this weekend.
But before we get to that, can everyone please put their hands together for Greg who is now doing a weekly Baltimore show round-up for BYT.
No more missing Crystal Castles EVER

Now that you know what will be up there, let me tell you what will be down here.

Thursday

I know I pimp Modernist Society every month, but hey, you do something in a new, interesting format, and bring new, interesting people to talk to every month, and hell, I'll pimp you too.
(disclaimer: I actually never use the words "pimp you" in real life, I swear.)
In any case in the hot seat today is Eric Hilton. Jason interviews. Daryle and Neal play great music. Everyone enjoys drink special.

In terms of shows, the Xiu Xiu / Thao Nguyen at the Cat will be awesome and will probably sell out and so get there early. (and before you go read Jen's interview with Thao here). Back up plan: Port O'Brien at DC9.

I myself will be at My Favorite Dress @ St. EX. Wearing a dress. Feeling pretty. Drinking peroni or something.
You should too.

Friday

Its the weeekend.
Go to the closing of Wreckfest at Tiffany's early and then...

Stephen Malkmus is at 930 club.
He is so unspeakably cool I have no words to describe him, but it is sold out (wait for our Janet Weiss interview tomorrow) and as such you may need alternative ways of entertaining yourself.

So, you may as well go dancing.
If you're in the mood for just some good old-fashioned backstaging Steve Stereofaith is back with STRFCKR or you could finally wear your white bra under a sheer dress out and go to this Soiree Disco @ Ultrabar.
I know it sounds like a disaster (you HAVE to RSVP, there is a dress code), but fuck it, I love dressing up, and just think of it as Disco City but with leather couches (I mean, Chris Burns is DJing).

I'm taking my brother and his gold cuff links.
You should bring yours too.

Saturday

Cherry blossoms!
Tourists!
Certain death!
I suggest you play hookie on Friday and check these out and just stay as far away from the Mall on the weekend.

But do other things outside, as the weather seems tres promising.

At night, three opposite spectrums, both dance-like-you've-never-danced-before worthy: Ghostland Observatory is at 930 Club (with WIll Eastman Opening), Raveonettes bring their dark and sexy to The Cat and over at Bobby Fischer Memorial Building Matt & Kim throw down.

Expect sweat on sweat contact everywhere.

Sunday

Wake up.
Eat brunch.
See your whole day pass you buy before your very eyes in a blur of mimosas, cheese and a lot of that Ruby Suns new record which sounds like something you should do a sunshine dance too

and then at night....go see Caribou and Fuck Buttons or The Dodos at DC9 (I know they're playing The Cat next week with Les Savy Fav, but people, you know you want to see them somewhere smaller than the mainstage).
No, really.

Now, tell me what I missed.
