No rest for the wicked.
Hot off a huge showing at and around the Movement Festival, the Ghostly crew is busy busy the next couple weeks. This Friday, 6/4 Matthew Dear and kindly maniac Ryan Elliot take over our favorite new sushi bar/night club Oslo. Next Monday, 6/7 will be the live NYC debuts for Matthew Dear (singing), Dykehouse (full rock band), and Geoff White's Aeroc project at Joe's Pub. Flyer here. Next Friday, 6/11 is Music From the Wires For the Ears Vol. IV, at the Magic Stick in Detroit with Greg Davis, Lusine and Adam's Castle. Then its back to NYC again for Spectral Sessions at APT with Jeff Samuel, Derek Plaslaiko and Hieroglyphic Being on Tuesday, 6/15.

Speaking on NYC, it was a real treat to hear east coast techno-industrial vanguard and Sonic Groove co-founder Adam X twice this weekend. Pretty much everything was a blur after he dropped the Sisters of Mercy's This Corrosion Sunday night.

In addition to the overwhelming amount of great music over the holiday, the Mrs. and I got a chance to see Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. Two thumbs up. (But what else would you expect?) All the hype you may have heard about Bill Murray's role is true. Also, try to spot the location shot at Galapagos in Brooklyn - which may throw you because the scene is supposedly in Los Angeles.
