Sat, 05 Jul 2008 04:40:00 GMT

To hell with Macy's! I'll take River to River on the 4th every year instead! For the third consecutive year I made my holiday pilgrimage to Battery Park to witness the very best of the massive independent rock bands playing a free show to celebrate the 4th of July. Three years ago it was Belle & Sebastian, last year New Pornographers, and this year was Sonic Youth! Not a Matador band, but damn

Happy July 4! (The Truffle)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:38:00 GMT

Le Sweetie and I spent the afternoon at Battery Park, where Sonic Youth and the Feelies performed. Gawd, I love my digital camera. First up, the Feelies, who've reunited after a bunch of years. Sonic Youth, meanwhile, played lots and lots of Daydream Nation material. Alas, from where I was standing, I was only able to snap Thurston and, occasionally, Kim.

Gray Sky for the Fourth of July (Gothamist)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:34:59 GMT

Sunset over Erie Basin by Danny L on Flickr Independence Day is turning out humid and gray. There will be an occasional light shower this afternoon and a pretty good chance for showers or thunderstorms this evening. You can probably make it through the Feelies/Sonic Youth show without getting too wet, but it would be a good idea to bring an umbrella if you're going to see the fireworks this evening...
