Tonight I’m going to Her Space Holiday and Lymbyc Systym at Bottom of the Hill. I was about to say “it’s not local, but…”, but I just remembered HSH is from San Mateo. Should be a good show.
Also, Saturday is Mark Kozelek (local! of Sun Kil Moon) and David Bazan @ Palace of Fine Arts. And 60 Watt Kid is opening for Mum at the Independent that night as well. Months ago I was already realizing that 4/26 was going to be a dang fine night of music in the Bay Area.
Also, I remember when this column also had some links from around the web and (local) blogosphere. Is that going to make a comeback?
