Guess I've been doing a lousy job keeping on top of things this week, as Israel posted this on ARCHINECT first: Friday night our friends at Ersatz Audio present MISERY LOVES COMPANY [live] at the Detroit Contemporary. Performances include live sets from Lowfish, Solvent, Tamion 12 Inch and Gourdon, with turntable operation by Adam Lee Miller and Chris McCullen.

On the subject of No-Wave/Generic, our own Jon Ozias kicks off a new night called THE FIX next Friday, August 16th at Lush in Hamtramck Michigan. Also, last weekend I had the pleasure of driving around Reuben Wu of Ladytron, who was in New York promoting their new album due out in September. It's bloody nice work. Reuben recently quit his day job as an industrial designer to pursue the band full time. Maybe there's hope for us all yet...
