The Best Shows in NYC This Weekend: Deerhunter Frankie Cosmos, The Thermals, Bob Mould, Ted Leo, Pearl Ham & lots more concert goodness!
Written by Patrick McNamara
There are lots of good shows in NYC this weekend!
Let's talk about them!
(and then - time allowing - let's talk about how good this intro was if you want to make this intro go viral or whatever you totally have my blessing to do so)
…..on to the good shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday - April 28, 2016 A.D.
Hardly art!
Hardly starving!
Hardly art!
Hardly garbage!
Portland's The Thermals play Market Hotel and I've been sweatin' these sing-a-long punks since 2002, son! Listen to them play songs from their new album "We Disappear" and hopefully some old jams too. Portland's Summer Cannibals and Philly's Amanda X open. Sick!
The Thurston Moore Group play Rough Trade. He hasn't been a Youth (oh no don't do it) for quite some time but he still sounds super Sonic (ugh he did it).
*speaking of super Sonic.... Supersonic was a shit '90s band for a minute whose one hit went like this "Closing time! One last call for alcohol! And blah blah la la di di dah!" sure you know it and now it'll probably be in your head for a minute I apologize for that but don't blame Thurston Moore he was never in this band
Other notable Thursday shows = WALL & Future Punx at Knockdown Center + Acid Dad & The Yin Yangs at (le) poisson rouge + Mothers at Baby's All Right + New Myths at Berlin + Weird Womb (final show) at Shea Stadium + Basement at Stone Pony + Suuns at Webster Hall Marlin Room
Friday - April 29, 2016 A.D.
Bob Mould and Ted Leo play Webster Hall. "Together at last!" - says a fan of both Bob Mould and Ted Leo probably somewhere. Two strong post ___ punk ____ pop songwriters in one big place. Solid. Now, I know I've said this before on here but since only 13 of you read this feature anyway I feel it's OK to mention again that this song (written by Mr. Mould) is one of the best rock/pop songs of the last 25 years. That #jingle #jangle tho! It pumps me up.
B Boys ("makin' with the freak freak") play Union Pool. They're good! Read this and I'll tell you more about them than that. Or, just go to this show cold and embrace this chilly post ____ punk HEAT. WALL also plays. They bring the punk fire too.
No Wave legend James Chance (& The Contortions) play Market Hotel and the old punk can still blast it. Best sax of your life.
Other notable Friday shows = Laura Stevenson at Shea Stadium + The Helio Sequence at Baby's All Right + Pharmakon/Container at Market Hotel (late/loud) + Naughty by Nature at Stage 48 + Penguin Prison at Music Hall of Williamsburg + Haybaby at Sunnyvale + Grizzlor at The Grand Victory + What Moon Things at Suburbia
Saturday - April 30, 2016 A.D.
Deerhunter play Webster Hall. They're a good band. But more importantly, I just recently rewatched the 1978 classic film "The Dear Hunter" and I can tell you with great confidence that it still holds up. If you haven't seen it, or it's been awhile, I highly encourage you to check it out.
The WFMU Record Fair is today and tomorrow at the Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint. Go and shop for good shit while also noting that Australian band The Moles (led by Richard Davies) will play a set at 3:30pm (and Fat White Family plays on Sunday).
Japanese Breakfast plays Baby's All Right (w/ SALES and Leapling). This is a great album. Play it. Play it now.
Other notable Saturday shows = Santigold at Hammerstein Ballroom + Penguin Prison at Bowery Ballroom + Basement at Music Hall of Williamsburg + Louis C.K. at New York City Center + No Joy at Saint Vitus + Kristeen Young at Union Pool
Sunday - May 1, 2016 A.D.
Frankie Cosmos plays Market Hotel (w/ eskimeaux) and you can BET the band's latest record "Next Thing" will be on my Best Albums of 2016 A.D. list (along with that Japanese Breakfast album I just mentioned) assuming I remember to make that list. Last year I totally forgot. Oops. Firing myself from this music blob immediately.
Fraternal Twin play Shea Stadium. I recently said nice things about this band because they're good. Nobody asked me to or anything. I just did it.
And Pearl Jam play MSG. Do you think they really used to give each other group high fives before shows? I bet they totally did.
Other notable Sunday shows = WFMU Record Fair + Shellshag at Aviv
Told you there were lots of good shows in NYC this week!
And we sure talked about them!
(you have my blessing to make this really great feature go viral it's totally no problem)

LONDON (Reuters) - Top shareholders in Anglo-American's London shares said Xstrata's proposed merger was unlikely to succeed unless a significant premium was on offer.
"Xstrata might argue that this is a merger of equals and therefore they won't pay a premium. But if they won't pay a premium, they are not going to get anywhere," said one top 20 investor in Anglo who declined to be named on Monday. The shareholder was also ranked as a top 10 Xstrata investor.
"One can assume that if there were to be any discussions with the Anglo board, it would have to be at a sensible level.
"Takeovers are typically at a premium of 30 percent plus. You would be looking for reasons why it should not be 30 percent - in this case, I don't see any," he said.
On Sunday, Xstrata said it wanted to start talks with Anglo American about a proposed "merger of equals." The combined group would have a market value of about $68 billion based on Friday's closing prices.
Another top 25 investor in Anglo-American, who also wanted to remain anonymous, agreed that Xstrata will have to come up with a different proposal for its rival.
"This proposal is highly unlikely to fly in its current form and I very much doubt if this is Xstrata's final offer. It is an opening gambit," he said on Monday.
The top 20 investor said that unless Xstrata offered a premium over Anglo's market price, shareholders would make a case for it remaining independent.
"There is expectation that the performance of Anglo is improving and if that is the case ... you would want to retain that upside for your own shareholders," he said.
However, the top 25 investor felt it was unlikely that an independent Anglo would be the final outcome.
"This is an opportunistic proposal on Xstrata's part because they have chosen a good moment as a lot of investors are underwhelmed by Anglo's management and their inability to realize the value within the company.
"Therefore whether it is this particular merger proposal or alternatives such as asset disposals, it has set the hare running. The status quo for Anglo is unlikely to be final outcome," he said.

November was the month of gratitude – we filled our newsfeed with all the things we are thankful for. We mentioned our loved ones, favorite people, events and happenings… It sure was heart warming all right, but I think we can step it up a notch! What have you done to make someone else thankful? Did you see your name in people's newsfeed! Were they grateful for knowing you? Have you gone out of your way to make someone else feel blessed and appreciated?
On December 5th I am participating in the third annual Thankful Hearts Project. – Join me! The day is a celebration of life started by my dearest friend, Mary. Her husband had a risky heart operation on December 5th four years ago. Mary is an incredibly giving and positive person. She decided that they should celebrate her husband's cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, medical staff and support system by doing good deeds towards strangers on the anniversary of his successful operation.
I encourage you to join us December 5th by doing random acts of kindness – in honor of Mary's husband, Bryan – and anyone else you know who might be struggling with a medical issue.
I went through the RandomActsofKindness website and found a great amount of inspiration for ways that you can touch someone's life. They had ideas ranging from small and quick to big and very impactful. In case you need creative suggestions to participate in the Thankful Hearts Project – here are my 100 favorite RAOK activities. There is a great variety of tasks; some cost money, but most of them are free and require little to no planning.
Everyday Kindness:
This category is my favorite, the ideas are simple and FREE. They are really just attitude adjustments. Instead of going through life thinking: "me me me", try to broaden your horizon. Find opportunities to make someone else smile, remind them that others care and that they aren't alone. You only run the risk of making someone else's day!
- Let someone go in front of you in line.
- Say "bless you" when someone sneezes.
- Compliment a stranger – sincerely.
- Let the car next to you merge into traffic.
- Hold the door open for the people behind you.
- Genuinely ask the person helping you at the bank/ doctor/ store/ restaurant how their day is going.
- Be on time.
- Call an older relative to see how they are doing.
- Scroll through your phone and send a kind text message to contacts # 23 and # 36.
- Send a handwritten birthday card to the next Facebook friend with a birthday.
- Offer to help someone.
- Forward an email with a money saving coupon to a friend.
- Be kind to someone you dislike.
- Help a fellow shopper at the grocery store.
- Offer to host a playdate for a friend's child, so the parents can have a date night.
- Speak kindly of others – all the time.
- Return the shopping cart to the store – all the way inside.
- Give a stranger a coupon for an item they are buying.
- Talk to a stranger in an elevator instead of looking at your phone.
- Warmly hug the next friend you see.
Family Kindness:
Let's not forget the people in our lives who matter the most. Taking our loved ones for granted is the biggest mistake we can make – ever… so pay CLOSE attention to this list – it's can truly change a relationship/ marriage/ friendship.
- Hug the person next to you.
- Drop everything you are doing and play with your kids.
- Read a book out loud to someone.
- Rent a movie, buy popcorn and plan an movie night.

- Play a board game.
- Take out the trash.
- Bring groceries to a sick friend.
- Make dinner for an elderly relative.
- Kiss a boo-boo.
Workplace Kindness:
We spend most of our waking hours with our fellow coworkers, so it is important for the atmosphere to be positive otherwise you will quickly feel drained and tired. Your attitude carries a lot of weight and can change things very quickly, either positively or negatively. These tips may cost a few dollars, but sometimes extending the olive branch to a coworker you don't care for is the best investment in your own sanity and happiness – and career.
- Give credit to someone else.
- Bring snacks into the office.
- Share a funny article with your coworkers.
- Thank a client for their business.
- Ask the person next to you if you can take one thing off their to-do list.
- Water the plants in the office.
- Clean the dishes in the sink.
- Throw away old food in the refrigerator.
- Compliment your boss.
- Pick up lunch for everyone.
- Fill the copier and printer with paper.
- Put flowers in the common area.
- Bring soup to someone who is home sick.

- Let someone park in your parking spot.
- Donate to a coworker's charitable cause.
- Take work home to complete after hours.
- Come in early.
- Offer to drive your colleague to the airport.
- Compliment a team member on their report.
Community Kindness:
Perhaps the world would be a better place if we all walked through life thinking: "a stranger is a friend we haven't yet met!" I know life isn't all cotton candy and unicorns, but we often times view the world and strangers with hardened hearts. My husband often tells me to control my "inner Oprah" – but if you were to unleash your "inner Oprah" you would do some of the following things – and love every minute of it!
- Put money in a parking meter.
- Ask someone about their heritage.
- Celebrate a holiday that is foreign to you, in honor of a friend.
- Talk to others while waiting in line.
- Pay for someone's coffee in the morning.
- Donate magazines and books to a hospital waiting room.
- Pray with someone, regardless of their religion.

- Order dessert for the table next to you at the restaurant.
- Give a gift card to a complete stranger.
- Donate your used clothes to a woman's shelter.
- Adopt a family, not just during the Holidays.
- Read to the elderly.
- Drive someone without transportation to an appointment.
- Host a charity event for a local family in need.
- Send flowers to the oldest person you know.
- Deliver a handwritten note to a local business who treated you well.
- Leave a big tip.
- Complete a survey and compliment someone.
Be Kind to Yourself:
Remembering to be good to yourself is as important as making nice with friends and strangers. We can't fully love someone else if we don't love and appreciate ourselves. It may sound like a cheesy Hallmark card, but when your outlook is positive, the days are brighter, your sleep is sounder and the world seems more beautiful. So don't forget to be kind to YOU too!
- Learn a new skill
- Buy yourself a dress.
- Schedule an appointment to be pampered.
- Laugh more.
- Have a good cry.
- Allow yourself to be bored.
- Read a book.
- Drink a new tea.
- Try on clothes you wouldn't normally wear.
- Keep a daily gratitude journal.
- Write a letter to yourself.
- Go for a run.
- Bake your favorite cake.
- Become an organ donor.
- Introduce yourself to a stranger.
- Forgive an old friend.
- Smile when people expect you to be upset.
- Plan a vacation.
- Start a new hobby.
- Volunteer your time.
Once you have completed your Random Act of Kindness on December 5, please go to the Thankful Hearts Project's Facebook page to tell us about your good deed and how it was received! My favorite part of the day is reading what everyone did and how it made someone's day special.
Please print these cards and leave one at "the scene" – help us spread the word about this incredibly giving and happiness-inducing day!
Thank you for being a good sport and playing along – someone will appreciate that you did!
