We had a jam-packed Saturday, @David. We had a bday party for the dog at the most Brooklyn place in Brooklyn, which happens to be in our neighborhood -- a craft-beer pinball-arcade speakeasy through a secret door. Tons of our (well, the dog's) friends came. Then Kate and I caught WFMU DJ Sinead spinning at another bar in the neighborhood. Then Sunday we barely moved. I managed to get the laundry done, but otherwise, we were kind of done in! The dog, too! Barely enough energy to chew on his bison bone.

@Snoochie - We've lost virtually all the key venues from the centre of London, large and small. The 100 Club is probaby the sole survivor, clinging on by its fingertips. The one silver lining is that the musical centre of gravity has moved up to Hackney and East London (where I live), meaning that I can now walk home from about 60% of gigs that I go to these days. But it's still sad that some old favs that had been there for decades are no more.

Any time I'm in a public space where the PA music is intolerably generic, I think, if you're looking for sounds that are low-key and won't offend anyone, why not go with "classical?" These "lite" stations make me queasy.
