Mad Men ended last night, and that’s sad. I got a $150 boot on my car this weekend, and that’s bad. But I’ve still got my Sly and my Wolf King, baby, so color me glad. OK I’m done now here we go: Chicago electronic lords Bitchin Bajas will be at the Basement on Wednesday while Willy T plays with Candi Staton out in Franklin, Thursday brings us a sick film about Cambodian rock and roll as Third Man’s newest installment of Light and Sound Machine while the Paperhead and Western Meds play a free show at Two Boots, there’s a show with Music Band and more at Hound Dog Commons (new show space?) on Friday, and a little birdie told us there’s gonna be a generator show at the Greenway on Satuday with Harvest Team and EIAFG.
