Last week brought a few nights that were stacked with concerts that led to some tough last minute decisions. This week brings the big guns with Fleet Foxes and Lykke Li coming to town along with some other people I'm dying to see live for the first time like Tune-Yards. Luckily, this week it is perfectly spread out over 7 days. There's not a difficult decision in sight unless you count the internal debate of whether or not it's practical to go out every night this week. Considering the line up I think it is. Here's what we have to look forward to this week in Boston.
I'm not entirely surprised that Pitchfork gave tUnE - yArDs a rare 8.8 rating for their album w h o k i l l , because I think above all it was an impressive demonstration that there are always new boundaries to be pushed. And in this case, they've been pushed in a way that the indie community can easily embrace. I haven't listened to the whole album yet, so I'm still deciding just how much I like this music, but I'd love to hear what anyone else thinks. I also refuse to write the band name another time because that it's rather obnoxious. Hopefully you've already seen the video, which is one of my favorite videos this year. Here is the song I jacked from pitchfork, which I definitely can enjoy.
