What's better than death? NY Eye & Ear Fest II, of course! So, temporarily quell them thoughts of suicide and read on, dear suicidal reader, as I have more exciting news: NYE&E II starts TODAY. That's right, break loose from that noose! Swim up for air! Put that gun back in its holster! Step away from the ledge! Stop eating trans fats! Or you will miss this four-day, three-venue (Knitting Factory, 92Y Tribeca, and Death By Audio) sonic assault on Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Performers this year include, among many others, Magik Markers, Talibam!, Team Robespierre, Grooms, John Wiese, and -- believe it or not -- RADIOHEAD! Yep, Thom and co will be there! Visit the fest's website here, and get your tickets while they're hot. The fest runs through July 12, the day I choose to go boom boom to my head.
