I saw the Rapture last night at Crash Mansion. I hate going out on Sundays, but it was well worth it. They ripped through a tight set of old and new material. Most notable of the new stuff was a track they called "Devil". Its got a sleezy bassline and some quirky electronics that really make the track feel like a summertime jam. A quick note about the crowd. About 75 percent were mostly sober working stiffs like myself and about 25 percent were totally FUCKED up skeeez balls. I mean these kids were rocking like it was the last party, the real Christian Rapture and shit. I wish I could have rocked it that hard, but someone has to keep the economy churning come Monday morning.
This week will kill you if you aren't prepared. Here's the rundown:
Monday: 
Telepopmusik @ Don Hill's
Tuesday:
Radiohead @ MSG Theater
the Boy Least Likely to @ Knitting Factory
Wednesday:
¡FORWARD, RUSSIA! @ MERCURY LOUNGE
(If you read this blog regularly, your presence is required)
Friday:
Simian Mobile Disco (Fixed Party) @ Don Hill's
(See below for their fantastic new track on Kitsune. Go here for an awesome video of Justice vs Simian - We Are Your Friends). Find me at the party on Friday and I'll buy you a beer.
To get you pysched for that party, I've put together a dance centered INACTION:ACTION Vol. 3. It'll go live in a few hours...
