I was delightfully surprised to hear Spank Rock was playing Bushwick's Bodega yesterday along with Brooklyn's Japanther and Ninjasonik, especially since it's so closeby my apartment.
It was the typical crowd of sweaty, shirtless guys, girls with messy hair and a cloud of smoke floating right above. All sets were pretty short, but high on the energy scale. I found myself in the middle of the crowd moshing out, getting my drinks spilled all over whilst trying to protect my poor Olympus. Was a fun Wednesday night I'd say! Check out Spank Rock's killer studded boots.

TV On The Radio: Day 1 of The Brooklyn Masonic Temple
I saw TV on the Radio for free at McCarren Park Pool last year. That was the show where Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson (I really wish that name was shorter) opened and his mic was completely non-functional. Anyway, luckily when I arrived at the show the pool I got a great spot because the venue was totally empty due to the rain.
TVOTR was total high energy and played a really great set list that night but unfortunately I cannot say the same for Tuesday's show at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, day #1 of their 3 day residency at the venue. I really felt that they should have mixed up more familiar tracks from their catalog rather than focusing so much on the new material (I'll admit I haven't heard the entire album yet.)
Additionally, the sound at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple was unbearable. 3/4 through the show I decided to retreat to the far back to save my ears from bleeding. The sound was just so terrible that I stopped enjoying as much as I wished. They sounded great but the screeching decibel levels were definitely an issue for me. I really hope they realized this after day #1 and made some changes for the following 2 dates. The openers The Dirtbomb were decent but not my cup of tea.

The End of an Era: McCarren Park Pool
Last night I attended the final Summer Screen event at McCarren Park Pool for Wes Anderson's Rushmore. Surprisingly, we were allowed to bring alcohol BUT it could not be in glass. My huge 6.99 bottle of Trader Joe's wine had to be poured into cups provided by the door people and maneuvered to a decent spot, picking up free gifts from sponsors along the way. The King Left played an enjoyable set before the movie started a little after 8PM.
It was a really nice and bittersweet finale to the events at McCarren [Yo La Tengo is playing the final final show at the Pool on Sunday--but it's not free.] It will truly be missed on summer days to come but I am confident that we will have something new and fun to look forward to.
