Three Days To Rise || August 17-19, 2007
DdCal has many an option listed...here's the scrutinizin'.
FRIDAY
Undoubtedly, the Granada Theater is where you want to be tonight. Cat Power comes to town, backed by the Dirty Delta Blues Band, for a one-off show to coincide with her recent recording with Oak Cliff's very own Stuart Sikes. Even better, they've thrown Dd's favorite Abilenian, Micah P. Hinson, into the fray as an opener. Arrive early. Soak it in. Take video and send it to Dd. And if you can't get in, do consider the solid Denton bill at Club Dada: Pinebox Serenade and Spitfire Tumbleweeds. The best in Denton swamp-jug-jammin', man.
SATURDAY
Jesse Hughey's piece this week on the New Sabbath Festival is interesting...though ultimately, it's a beating to read. Not so much Jesse's fault, anyway--too much drama and weirdness has clouded an otherwise compelling day of music. This fest is about the many colors of Texas' current folk/country/freak rainbow, and while the biggest names hail from south of here--Peter & The Wolf, Brothers & Sisters, Jana Hunter--the rest is a good sampling of what our fair boroughs have to offer. The question is, will the fest go off without a hitch? Doubtedly, but hopefully the growing pains will be minimal. The full lineup/schedule is listed here, though my guess is that acts will move/cancel up to the last minute, and those reports will probably reach We Shot JR before they reach us. So keep your eyes glued that-a-ways before you leave for the mega-concert tomorrow at the Denton Square and J&J's Pizza.
And if that's not enough Denton music for you, the Fra House (2127 West Oak) is throwing a Record Hop concert later in the evening. White Drugs open. Wear earplugs. Then put earplugs into those earplugs. Only then might you be safe from how loud this house party will surely be.
SUNDAY
Longtime local pop-punker Darlington plays a free show at the Barley House. Even worse, Lee Harvey's is throwing a roller derby after-party. And to top it all off, Daughtry, Nickelback and Puddle of Mudd share the stage at Pizza Hut Park. With the combination of these events, Dd's advice is to hide in your house and avoid the metroplex-wide herpes outbreak that will surely result from these three moons aligning.
(Actually, there's a cool local hip-hop party/fest/expo at Exposition Park starting around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon, featuring quality local artists like Headkrack's talented Boondox crew and Dow Jonez. Consider it.) -SM

So...it's an interesting beating? You've said harsher things about shit I've written, so I can live with that.
Actually, "interesting beating" sums up how it felt to write it, too.
If you thought it was an interesting beating to write about it, imagine having to come up with something on your own in the first place, rather than beating an overly sensationalized and overly hyped horse to death.
DL-
Take it easy. I started working on that story before you guys ever posted anything about them, before there was a controversy. Not that I'm claiming I "came up with something on my own" by deciding to write about a huge festival--it was a pretty obvious choice. I couldn't ditch the story just because someone else got to it first.
someone has been listening to the ticket too much.
