Don’t worry, we’ll say it for you – the winter blues have officially hit. Whether it’s the colder, more inclement weather, the lull between semesters, the plateau after the holidays, or all of the above – there’s an itch that needs scratching and we suggest a show to lend a helping hand. It’s natural to look forward to something, so thank goodness the weekend is about to intervene before the urge to at Valentine’s Day chocolates three weeks before it’s appropriate does. (Although we’re impartial to a 2-lb. box of See’s Candy any old day.) Check out our picks for the weekend below…

Happy autumnal equinox! Now that that’s out of the way, we invite you to dive into the following shows taking place this weekend like a pile of leaves. There are a couple of solo acts to choose from, in addition to varying forms of pop/rock and more mellow stylings. If there’s one thing we believe in, it’s that variety is perhaps one of the most accessible ways to spice up things, a creed that a lot of our favorite choices seem to adhere to as well. Without further adieu, check out our picks for the weekend below:

Har Mar Superstar has been making his rounds as a performer since 2000. Known for his cheeky lyrics and hyper-confidence in wearing just his underwear, the artist has even opened up for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Strokes. His close friendship with Ellen Page has gotten him in some films such as Whip It as well.

Now, he’s getting help from another friend. You all saw Eva Mendes in his video for “Tall Boy.“ Well, Har Mar Superstar is having a contest for the best remix of the track and Mendes is taking her place as one of the judges.

We are back with more albums for you to check out right before the Holidays. A few of these artists are actually fairly new to me, but hopefully you’ll find something you know and/or are willing to explore. As always, there are is an old album thrown into the mix. Hey, it is on sale so it is worth mentioning (especially during the Holidays). There are albums by Bear in Heaven, Neil Young, God Help the Girl, and The Minor Canon.

Har Mar Superstar and his intriguingly quirky ways seemed to blow up within the last year. We’ve seen him DJ for Io Echo, play FYF Fest, and make an appearance in Whip It and on its soundtrack (he’s good friends with Ellen Page) among the many other things he’s dabbled in.

He recently released a video for his new song, “Tall Boy,” which according to Spinner, was offered to Britney Spears beforehand. Instead of sitting naked in a sauna or crawling around in sparkles, Har Mar Superstar took advantage and made a strange but interesting video. You’ll see cameos by actresses Eva Mendes, Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat (also Page’s co-star in Whip It), and plenty more. Oh, and don’t expect him to be in his tighty whiteys for this one. The privilege (?) to see that is reserved for live performances only.

Har Mar Superstar, the king of tongue-in-cheek hip hop was also performing at FYF Fest. Now you’ve got to have a name like that to pull off a see-through gold tunic and dish out what he’s got!
