Some quick notes before the weekend:

• The Sci­ence of Sleep review is being draft­ed as I type this. The dream type­writer is ful­ly operational.
• First impres­sion upon hear­ing The Hold Steady’s Boys and Girls in Amer­i­ca is that if they’re real­ly protest­ing the bar band Spring­steen ’75 com­par­i­son, methinks they doth protest too much.
• Beach House were real­ly great last night. It’s a point worth elab­o­rat­ing, and I will lat­er this week­end. That’s their organ, by the way.
• Tomor­row night: Dev­as­ta­tions and The Drones at John­ny Bren­da’s. See you there?
