Whoa.  Just put this one together: Cold Cave is definitely a pun for cold wave (slow on the uptake, I know.  sorry guys).  Another fact: Teenage Jesus and the Jerks is a slightly misleading bandname, since neither Lydia Lunch nor James Chance were conceived immaculately.  Dissapointing, I know.

Perhaps the WFMU fest lineup will cheer you back up?  The sheer improbability of so many legends sharing the stage should be enough for your average Californian to road trip over to the Music Hall Of Williamsburg, where the three day festival is being held.  Full digs on the entire event are available on WFMU’s blog.

The full lineup includes:

Thursday Oct. 1, doors 8:00, showtime 9:00, $20
Faust, Cold Cave, Aluk Todolo

Friday, Oct. 2, doors 8:00, showtime 9:00, $15 ($12 advance)
Pissed Jeans, TV Ghost, VeeDee, Guinea Worms

Saturday, Oct. 3, doors 8:00, showtime 9:00, $20

So last night I went to a show at Death by Audio that featured the likes of well known noisemakers AIDS Wolf, Fiasco and Sightings. Opening the show was Meghan Remy, a Philly-based noise concoctor who goes by the name of U.S. Girls. I’ve been catching word of her performances for the past few months, but after finally seeing her for myself, I suggest getting acquainted.
