Since complaining about having too much great stuff to do on a Friday night is a pretty low-class move, I'll leave the complaining out of it and just say this: I'm having a dickens of a time trying to choose between the rock and soul confection of The Bellrays and perennial Catfish Vegas favorites Chango Malo on one side and a stacked local bill celebrating a new KXCI Locals Only album, as well
Golden Boots - "Days Are Night" May I say something before you begin? May I say that your boots are glorious. Your shirt is thin, it almost billows when you walk.

Golden Boots - Cellophane (Park the Van 2007) Golden Boots - Burning Brain / Park the Van Lala la luh la, la. First impressions can be pretty important when it comes to an album. At times, it's a red herring and a barnburner of an opening track gives way to a sadly (or rightfully) overlooked remainder (e.g. Wiretap Scars or That Much Further West ); other times, it's just the beginning of something great (e.g. Hell Hath No Fury or Sound of [...]
