It is with a full belly and heavy heart that we inform you that this week is looks a little whack. Not tryna be a downer, just telling it like it is, y’all. There aren’t very many shows happening this week and barely any are worthwhile. Catch Bad Friend at Stone Fox on Saturday, or see Animal Collective or Cass McCombs on Sunday if you ride those waves. If not, you could at least go to All Is Lost or peep the premiere of the Coen Brothers retrospective that opens at the Belcourt this weekend. Hang tite, my groovers. The good times aren’t completely gone.
