All of our Dicks are coming out tonight. This is a quick update to our local readership to get your spurs on tonight and join us as we travel the eastern portions of Cleveland and brave the sub 40 degree temperatures to see one of the more anticipated shows of early Spring. At 7:30, Kurt Vile is hitting an in-store at Music Saves (get there promptly for a good spot), and then the train rolls over to The Grog for the J. Mascis and Vile show afterward. Several Shades of Why is exactly what I thought it would be when Mascis began dropping a few tracks into the ether at the beginning of the year. Mascis peppers the "acoustic" album with plenty of drizzly plugged-in solos, and for my money, it'll be one of the best shows you see in Coventry this year. The best part os that Kurt Vile's Smoke Ring for My Halo is on even par, as well. A hardened rock-icon and a sidekick worthy of some torch-passing. The in-store is BYOB, and, as always, first round at The Grog is on John Petkovic….Enjoy Mascis' "Is it Done" and "In My Time" from Vile's stellar new album.
