http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =02n0koHeQZw Posts are going to be few and far between over the next month or so. We're taking some much-needed time off to contemplate life in the D and what it means to be thankful. We'll leave you with video from last year's Detour Holiday Spectacular .

Bruce Campbell will stand out in the freezing cold after a screening to make sure everyone who wants to say hello or get a picture with him get their time. His fans love him and that adoration has been reciprocated by Bruce in his latest motion picture project, My Name is Bruce . Not to be confused with the 1982 film They Call Me Bruce? about an Asian fellow who keeps getting mistaken for Bruce Lee, [...]

As per usual, there's a lot of rad shit going on tonight in the D (and elsewhere), from Javelins playing for FREE at the WAB (early show, doors are at 7:30), to another mothafuckin' FREE show starring one of the most badass noise-pop bands to ever exist ever - Parts and Labor - at PJ's Lager House. Free is cool and all, but let's not forget that sometimes it actually feels good to pay 5 bucks to see a show - especially when said show is being delivered by Knoxville, Tennessee's [...]

I ventured out to Pontiac last Thursday to see Deerhunter , whose newest release Microcastle is nothing short of amazing . First up was Disappears , who sounded like Ikara Colt if they were a shoegazer band. It was good, but slightly underwhelming. Hailing from the "blue state of Ohio," Times New Viking took the stage by storm, reminding us that we were at a live show and that I should probably not fall asleep on my date. Although TNV's [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =zc4FXHunHMw Last week, I had the privilege of seeing the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson live in concert. He played some wonderful stuff (the cuts from Pet Sounds being my personal favorite), and of course, the classic surfin/sunin/funin/lovin/doo-r un-runnin hits of their early years (not a personal favorite). While it was all pretty amazing, I couldn't help but think of this David Lee Roth video the entire time Wilson and his band trudged through "California Girls" - mostly because I watched a insane amount of MTV as a kid, and because this particular video [...]

We made it out to Girl Talk on Tuesday but found ourselves having a sweaty make-out session with some chick from Waterford in the balcony through most of the set so we don't really have a solid review of the show. But one dude did sent this in (he actually commented but did so on an earlier Girl Talk show review from last year). Sounds like he would've rather hung out with me and my gal in the balcony... From "Matt": "This show sucked! Kidtronic sounded like a bunch of 15 year [...]

Monday night shows in the D are tough. Combine that with a shitty economy and chilly temps and you get a quarter-filled Stick regardless of a stellar lineup. Didn't matter though; each act swung for the fences but we couldn't help but wonder what this would've been like in the cozy confines of the Garden Bowl. The evening started out with Ann Arbor's Charlie Slick and co. playing a glittery, confetti-filled set, warming up the crowd and perhaps pissing off the people at the Magic Stick who have to sweep after shows. [...]

Seriously. They just called on our secret red batphone and said to put you and a friend on their list for the show Monday at the Stick . Small problem; they don't know your name. They remember you from Rock City , though. Medium height. Freckles. Pseudo-hot. Got a thing for pudgy bloggers. Email us and let us know if you want in; we promise not to stalk you: info@detour-mag.com

Finally. The Detroit answer to the Baltimore Round Robin . Only it's all acoustic. And the artists are playing on a stage, not in "the round." Whatevs. It's definitely the place to be tonight and Jay will be dressed up as Dan Deacon doing shots of whatever you hand him. Beware, this is what happens after the fifth shot of Apple Pucker... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =vuKiCwfZS-k
