Wednesday Looks Good To Me

Among a sea of posts about well…posts, posting, and various posters on the Lemmingtrail messageboard, I came across a comment that suggested going out on Friday and Saturday nights was passé. Well if that’s the case, color me a tastemaker because I’ve been a weekend hermit since the days got shorter. Who knew my low serotonin levels would finally come into vogue in 2007! Anyhow, if you’d like to follow this F*ck the Weekend trend, I’d suggest taking a gander at your old friend, Wednesday.

This Year’s Model

With Blackout Bar long gone, Regeneration Records closed, and O’Brien’s Pub being boarded-up for renovations until sometime in February – there’s been little room for a cheap cover, beer-pounding, punk rock without frills kind of night in Allston. But as the saying goes, necessity breeds invention, and Dave Unger of Antler has pulled a wildcard from his beard right when Boston needs it most. Under the moniker DJ Ungertaker, he’s starting “Band at The Model”; a weekly Wednesday night DJ and band event at The Model Café that has the potential to fill all previously mentioned voids. Tonight the series gets kicked off by as set from The Murder Mile, and like many other things in Allston the first one’s free.

Rubbed the Right Way

DJ Claude Money of Soul-le-lu-jah fame has a new bun in the oven: Soul Touch. Named after Claude’s long-standing mix-CD series, Soul Touch takes place at Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge each Wednesday night. Tonight there’s a special guest in the house, Cosmo Baker of The Rub (NYC) who, I very much expect will “bring the party” as the kids say. Here is some pudding with proof mixed in; The Game – “This Is How We Do (Cosmo Baker Remix 1)”.

Last Night

Not to be all Cobrasnake, but everyone loves photos. Here are just a couple: Dania Shapes at P.A.’s Lounge and Caspian playing the Pan 9 benefit at Great Scott.
