Truer words than these were never spoken. Thank you, Tom Tom Club.
Genius of Love you say? Nay, Genius of LIFE!
It is with this mindset that we approach that most liberating kind of weekend in our American lives: the Three-Day Weekend. Here's what you can do with your freedom:
1. Visit the music section and attend any event described therein.
2. Read Chris Packham's blasphemous weekend roundup of non-music events and input them into your BlackBerry.
3. Take note of the following largely uninked events in KC:
FRIDAY
The Afterparty, Cripple Lilies and Sterilize Stereo at the Record Bar
Bow Wow, Mims, Crime Mob and Lloyd at the Starlight Theater
Captured by Robots at the Brick
