Hey, all -- hope everybody out there had a good Turkey Day and didn't get too festively plump in the process... I know we already did one update this week, but we've got a few more new reviews up, including one for new holiday-ish movie This Christmas, one of the new (and surprisingly good) odds-and-ends disc from Copeland, and one for NY rockers Moment Theory, so we figured we'd pop back in & say "hey." And so, here we are. Hey.

We also wanted to mention that in addition to the gonna-be-awesome Stadium/The Mechanical Boy/Ethan Durelle/Earnie Banks show tonight @ Fitzgerald's (downstairs, reportedly), there're also a couple other very cool shows you might consider checking out if you can drag your ass away from The Fam and have some fun tonight. Locals Balaclavas are having their CDEP release this evening @ Notsuoh, along with the every-entertaining Rusted Shut, Laws (who're also releasing a tape(!(!)) tonight), and The Freed. Then there's The Flamin' Hellcats up at The Continental Club and Felix da Housecat with hometown boy Damon Allen @ Rich's (2401 San Jacinto).

Oh, and probably the show of the night -- no offense to the aforementioned shows, mind you, which're all gonna be cool -- is Peter Bjorn and John playing up at Warehouse Live. I know some strange, somewhat misguided souls have been crusading against the band (um, kinda), but I just can't help it; every damn song I've heard from PB&J has dug its claws into my brain & won't let go. Besides, they've got H-towners Peekaboo Theory (who I have yet to hear, sadly, but want to) and The Besnard Lakes (whose new CD, The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, is pretty great so far) opening for 'em. Trust me, damn near every hipster in town will be at this show (take that however you will).
