Two shows are coming up this month that should not be ignored (as opposed to all the other shows in Connecticut, most of which should be ignored. I kid...mostly). The first is Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel fame). This famous (Indie famous, not famous famous) recluse is finally out of his cave and playing shows again. Should be good. Don't bring a camera, he hates that. Also, you'll probably get thrown out if you use your phone. Just a warning. This Wednesday (the 18th) at 8:00pm at the Shubert in New Haven. A mere $45 per ticket with "convenience" charges. This might be your only chance. I almost saw him at All Tomorrow's Parties a few months back in New Jersey, but all three shows he played sold out.
Then, on the 28th of January Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth fame) will play at the Wadsworth. This show is in support of his new album Demolished Thoughts. If you haven't heard it yet, check it out. It was produced by Beck and is completely different than anything he's ever done. While you're there, check out Patti Smith's Camera Solo.
And then, in February, on the 12th, Blind Pilot will play the Pearl Street Clubroom in Northampton Mass. I know, it isn't actually in Connecticut but most cool things aren't. Should be good.
