New Shows: Guided By Voices, Modern English, Vaselines

Guided By Voices (with Times New Viking)

This reunion is being called "the classic 93-96 lineup." Bee Thousand is easily their best album, and just so happens to fall within that time frame, so expect to hear all your favorites off this spectacular album. That's the good news.

The bad news? You are old.

Modern English

How much is it worth to sit through 70 minutes of unlistenable music, just to see "I Melt With You" live? Is $20 too much? I need to work on my Molly Ringwald/Courtney Cox dance moves.
