Even though I have read about the history of now defunct Desco Records in the newspaper of record, I had never really heard of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings before. A name like that [...]

Monday, April 27, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: I've decided that the NFL draft is ridiculous due to the fact that it's placed at the point of the year where you realize that very soon the only sport on TV will be baseball, so you end up watching hours of talking heads in order to get a big enough football high to last the summer.

Sharon Jones is everything an entertainer should be and more - fun, high energy, hilarious, engaging
Central Park's SummerStage is definitely one of the premier events of the season in New York, and Daptone Records is quickly becoming one of the city's premier labels, so what better way to celebrate both by having Daptone close out the venerable series with a good old-fashioned revue (even better: it's totally free)!?
