I am super excited about Chris Pureka's show at SPACE on Wednesday. How I Learned to See in the Dark is one of my favorite albums of 2010 so far, and I'm sure the live show will be great.

The indie music world comes to a screeching halt this weekend as Pitchfork rolls into town. Three-day tickets have been sold out for ages, so try hitting up Craigslist or something to make your way in.

This Week in Great Music: 7/5 - 7/11

This week might as well be known as the Week of Great Shows that I Can't Go to Because I Have to Prepare for People to Come Install New Carpet. Home ownership is not always worth it, let me tell you.

There are a lot of great shows this week featuring local bands, and lots of them are free or very cheap. You should check some of them out, give some love and support to the local music scene.

The entire world is gearing up for SXSW. I'm gearing up for reading tons of great blog posts about SXSW.
