Hey, internet. Â It’s been a bit of a quiet week around here. Â I’ve got a bunch of posts drafted up but finding the time to finish them is another matter entirely.
Instead, here’s my listing of great shows this week. Â Lollapalooza’s here this weekend, in case you didn’t notice, and with Lolla comes some great aftershows. Â I’ll be absconding away from the city this time around but hopefully you all will find something interesting to see.
