Boobs Rock fundraiser at the Brick this weekend (NSFW)

Boobs and rock: NSFW.

What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than combining two awesome things: rock, and boobs? Witness the glory -- for a good cause -- at ​Boobs Rock: A Fest for Breasts. 

The fundraiser is on Sunday, August 1 at the Brick, and it'll go from 2PM to 7PM. All proceeds will go directly to breast cancer research. The bands -- referred to as Rockers for Knockers -- are the Night Owls, the B-Dinas, Heather Thornton and Friends and the Jen Lawless Project, and Dirty Dorothy as the MC. 

After all, as the ladies putting on this fine event say, "all good boobs need support." We couldn't agree more.

Two locally relevant news items about the Mountain Goats

tmg2009-2.jpg
The Mountain Goats are coming to the Bottleneck and the Blue Note.
Sparse, hard-strummed folk songs sung by a 40-year-old dude with a nasal emo yelp: it's not a description that'd send me running to my local independent record store. Give yourself some time with the Mountain Goats, though, and you begin to notice the genius of songwriter John Darnielle's lyrics. And that there's an emotional heft to the songs, a pureness of intention, a maturity, that you didn't even realize you were so starved for. Before long, you're alone in your room, fists clenched, tears streaming down your cheeks, shouting along with Darnielle on the glorious last line of "Broom People." Or I've heard of stuff like that happening, I mean. 

Oh, also: the band is playing a show (UPDATE: two shows) near here, relatively soon.

Lakesigns, Sons of Great Dane, Grisly Hand, Bieber: Wednesday's Best Bets

Lakesigns, from Chicago. Tonight at the Replay.
​Lotta action tonight. 

Chicago's Lakesigns is streaming some impressive, jazz-inflected folk rock on its Myspace page that I'd recommend checking out. The band's at the Replay this evening. 

Two local alt-country-ish shows: Grisly Hand at the Brick, with Roman Ships. And Sons of Great Dane at RecordBar, with Brainbow, Cherokee Rock Rifle, and Hotdog Skeletons. 

Plus Bieber.

Miles Bonny's new weekly gig at Czar

Miles Bonny

​DJ Miles Bonny is kicking off a new weekly gig at Czar Bar called Two$Day on August 3. (We like the sound of that already.) Here's what the local DJ has to say about it: 

I don't see why folks have to wait until the weekend to enjoy themselves outside of their home. I'm teaming up with the Czar Bar to bring a weekly get down to the folks looking to enjoy the beginning of their week, not simply dread it.

Plus, the drinks are two bucks -- including Boulevard. Hell, we'll drink to that.

Nab a kazoo and break a world record in Olathe

​We take pride in reminding you that there's always something better to do on Friday than getting hammered and watching Degrassi on DVD. (That's what we're here for, brah.) This Friday: head to South JoCo (wait for it) to break a kazoo world record. Yes.

Farmers Insurance is putting on a charity event in hopes that more than 5,000 people will be play "Hey Jude" on the kazoo, and that world record will fall for the "largest kazoo ensemble." (What a glorious concept.)

Kanye drops new songs at Facebook's headquarters

​
Kanye West
has decided to unveil some new material from his forthcoming album, which we think is called Good Ass Job, at Facebook's headquarters -- namely, three songs without beats called "Lost In the World," "Chain Heavy" and "Mama's Boyfriend." Why? I have no idea. Only I wish this would happen at our lunch break, dammit. (Volunteers?)

Kanye is notorious for stealing the spotlight (and, um, microphone); so, this move to a more intimate setting to preview these songs (say, rather than the MTV Video Music Awards, like he did for 808s and Heartbreak) is an interesting touch. The album is due out on September 14th; catch a sneak preview after the jump.

Shaq sings to Justin Bieber

​
And it speaks to us.
We can't go to the Justin Bieber show tonight. Kansas City's entire junior high population bought tickets to the Sprint Center show tonight, and sold that shit out hard. (Baby, no!) So, instead, we'll be posting lots of ridiculous news on the lesbian hair icon all day.

Like when Shaquille O'Neil showed up at Justin Bieber's show in Phoenix, grabbed a mic, and sang to him. Apparently Shaq has a weakness for sugary-sweet pop stars, as he recently appeared in Owl City's music video, too.

Check out Shaq's ode to Justin after the jump.

Bieber Watch: Segway chase, Westboro protest, and an actual performance in Kansas City

Tonight, Justin will ride through our hearts and minds.
​Let us celebrate: Justin Bieber is here, today, in Kansas City, to perform a concert of hit music songs at the Sprint Center. It's almost too much to process. Alas, I have been denied entrance. If you need me, I'll be across the street at Timmy Tom O'Mulligan's Brewporium, sobbing into an aluminum bottle of Labatt Blue. 

Before you head downtown tonight, there are a few Biebs-related pieces of information you should know.

Archeology, Cheyenne Marie Mize: Tuesday's Best Bets

Portland's Archeology, seated peacefully in a meadow. Tonight at RecordBar.
Fear not: there are two shows worthy of your time this evening.

Portland's Archeology has an acoustic, melodic, percussive sound that calls to mind a slightly more twee Local Natives. The band is at RecordBar tonight, joined by the Caves and the Matt Damon Experience. 

And as we mentioned earlier today, Cheyenne Marie Mize folks out at Czar Bar. With Brian Frame and John Keck. That's an early one -- starts at 7 p.m. 

What else?

Biebs in bracelets.
​Yo, yo, just wanted to give a shout-out to all the Beliebers in the howw -- you pumped for tomorrow's show at the Sprint Center? Everybody who's pumped for tomorrow's show at the Sprint Center say YEAH! 

The Justin Bieber show at the Sprint Center is far and away the biggest event happening in Kansas City this summer, and that's just a fact whether you like it or not. It is such a big deal that the promoter won't even give me, an important member of the press, a free ticket to review it! Imagine! Anyway. Are you ready for today's installment of Bieber Watch?
