HEARD, NOT SCENE

A quick tour of good music for this weekend and the next:
TONIGHT: Konono #1 hit the Black Cat with "electrified likembés (thumb pianos), homemade mics, traditional drums, and makeshift percussion. …plugged into huge handmade amps." Not only is their music a trip, the live show is supposed to quite an experience. Sidenote: Congotronics? Let's get with this.
TOMORROW: Exit Clov plays DC 9. I know these guys mostly because they put up ridiculous posters all over D.C. that seem much more terrifying than the band could possibly be. Anyways, check it out.
SUNDAY: Israel Vibration is celebrating the birthday of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I at the 9:30 club. Wait, Reggae? We are WAY TO CLOSE TO THIS. Let me ask someone else, inject some novelty. And … yes. You should go to this.
Diplo is all up in the Black Cat. Perhaps best known as MIA's producer, Diplo is a purveyor of baile funk, the hip-shaking fun drug from Brazil. You're going to dance at this.
NEXT SATURDAY: Castanets are playing in the Black Cat. They play some weird, spacey acoustic folk. I recommend them to you if you are feeling melancholy, or if you'd like to be.
NEXT SUNDAY: Wayne Newton is the most important artist of our generation. He is playing at the Birchmere. Is there anything else to say? OH, WAIT. It costs NINETY-FIVE DOLLARS! The odd combination of someone who can afford this and someone who would actually go is why you'll find me and my friends hanging out at the Birchmere just to mock the people who go in.
NEXT MONDAY The Evens play Fort Reno. For Free. For those of you not familiar with Ian MacKaye, or his bands Fuagzi or Minor Threat, well, I'm sorry, but you're not in touch with your D.C. roots. Let Ian drop some knowledge on you at this show.
