I'm really bummed there wasn't a greater presence of Detroit chapter Burnlabbers at Music From the Wires For Ears III last night. What's with that? Tamion was insane, Mike Dykehouse was a total rock star, and our man Seth was there, straight from his high school prom. (Seriously.) The only valid excuse is if you were at Stylus. Otherwise, you suck. No, not really, but come on now. (By the way, Ghostly is looking into booking Nick Cave for the next Wires For Ears event.)

The highlight of last night was Ron Zakrin (Goudron) live afterwards at the 2500 Club - a totally sketchy bar in the lower Cass Corridor with the best bar staff in town. Ron was absolutely brilliant and cool as a cucumber, despite the obligatory late night drink throwing and art school girls electro-moshing dangerously close his equipment. I'm really looking forward to more live shows from Mr. Zakrin, and hopefully a return appearance at Les Infants Terribles quite soon.

It was also a real treat to have dinner at the official opening of OSLO with Servito and Ian Clark. I think I should have shut up and just let Ian talk. He knows more about music than I could possibly absorb in two lifetimes. The sushi and interior design at OSLO are both excellent. A much welcome addition to Motor City dining options.
