Excellent week of music coming up.

My picks in bold. Not sure how many of these shows I’m gonna make it to, though, considering (a) the amount of work I have this week, (b) the remaining Stanley Cup finals game(s), and (c) the fact that I have jury duty this week (ugh). Also, I think I’m seeing The Figgs in Philly on Friday, and The Posies in New York on Saturday. I think.

Don’t let my excuses keep you from going to the shows, though.
