Happy Thanksgiving from Spinning Platters. I’ve got a lot of things for you to do other than shop this week. Maybe buy some merch for your little cousin? And, seriously, Black Friday may be the best show day in ages.Wednesday, November 25th
Deastro, Max Tundra, White Cloud at Bottom Of The Hill, 9 PM
For weeks, Editor in Chief Gordon Elgart had been telling me to listen to Max Tundra. And, well, I hadn’t. Until today. Super good, and not quite what I expected. He’s a little bit Elton John and a little bit awesome lofi techno artist. I’m going to be there tonight with my dancing shoes on, and you should join us!

It’s Thanksgiving. If the bar/club owner is making it’s people work today, you shouldn’t be spending any money there. It’s just cruel. Spend it with your family, eat too much, be merry.

Good looking guys that dress really well and sing really well, too. That’s

by guys that both you and your little sister will think are hot.

The Vic Chestnutt Band, The Silver Mt Z ion, godspeed! you black emporer,
Witches at Great American Music Hall, 8 PM
Vic Chestnutt is one of the greatest living songwriters, as well as an
American treasure. But, the real reason to go is to see the other legends,
godspeed! you black emperor, who are surprisingly low on this bill, but
it’s been a long time since these noise experimentalists have come
around. This is great value for the money.
David Archuleta, Benton Paul at The Warfield, 7 PM

Little Girls, Weekend at Hemlock Tavern, 9 PM
Warm and fuzzy lo-fidelity goodness. Plain and simple.
