All right, here it goes – time flying by uber fast, that is. After this weekend, January is basically over, which will soon mean candy hearts, teddy bears, and fancy dinners for whoever it is that holds residency in that special place in your heart. And if that someone is actually someone else this year, we say go ahead and owe yourself one before the pressure gets to be too much. If not, well then, business as usual. Experimental, ambient, pop, punk, folk… night out, anyone? Check out our picks of the weekend below:

Post-punk music has never been my cup of tea, but on Saturday, May 8, 2010 at The Getty Center in Los Angeles, the genre proved to be highly entertaining.

In a move that will either be incredibly funny or disastrous, Pitchfork TV have given Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington his own TV show. The show, appropriately enough, is titled “Beardo.”
