Your SAK correspondent goes somewhere else.

SAK, your semi-official blog for getting re-directed to The New York Press all the damn time. Now with My Bloody Valentine content.

Is every fucking thing The So So Glos do blogworthy? Your SAK correspondent says Yes! Two new songs from their upcoming Tourism/Terrorism EP–both the marchingly militant, vibra-slapped “Island Loops,” and the radio-melting, FCC-fucking single “Throw Your Hands Up”–have been posted to MySpace. Go cure those See-Saw Blues.

Your SAK correspondent went with fellow Press cohort and photoblogger Jonny Leather to see Thee Oh Sees at Death By Audio on Sunday, and big JL did SAK proud with a lovely sequence of weirdo-tripped photos.

Your SAK correspondent helped make sure The New York Press Best Of Manhattan issue made a little less sense with several shout outs to some keepin’-it-real Brooklyn peeps.

Apart from the love for Entertainment4Every1 and Sleep When Dead NYC above, go here for SAK-penned picks for Best Local Rock Band (like you didn’t already know it was The So So Glos?) and Best DIY Venue (Schmarket Schmotel, of shcourse).

Your SAK correspondent saw that this was moved today (in fact, he was alerted by the variety of oracles that keep him abreast of all matters Awesome Vistas related) but even his mid-notch reporting couldn’t bring this to you faster than an on-the-ball commenter simply known as Thomas. And now it’s called the Us Again Festival. Fine, whatever. Can Thee Oh Sees please play now?

“Make us look good, eh?” -John Dwyer, Thee Oh Sees

Your SAK correspondent has a link to his Future Islands column, but feels there is no bloggy witticism able to compete with what is perhaps the most persuasive flyer of all time:

Also please note how ably this kicks his Future Islands Sincerity Thesis squarely in the teeth.

Your SAK correspondent, after some serious private investigatory sleuthing (he sent a MySpace message to Flower Of Flesh And Blood, just like Sam Spade would have) has totally blown the lid off this Awesome Vistas Festival deal:

It goes down this Saturday, the 27th, at The Yard (even though they don’t list it on their site, this has been confirmed by multiple sources) in Brooklyn’s Gowanus ‘hood, goes from approximately 3pm to 10pm, and is, like, totally fucking FREE!

Sean from FOFAB further had this to say: “The bands are Thee Oh Sees, The Enablers, Flower of Flesh and Blood, The Sic Alps, Lone Wolf, and three others I can’t remember (sorry).”

There is currently a 90% chance of rain for Saturday. Goddamnit.

Former Beat The Devil frontchick Shilpa Ray (now with added Happy Hookers!) has finally uploaded some recordings to her MySpace jam, just in time for her performance at Pianos tonight. She’ll only have eyes for you. But she’ll have her harmonium and spooky wail in tow for everybody else.
