There are a lot of things we love in this world; one of them is Karen Jonas. She offered up a Celebrity Playlist last week and tonight she’ll be performing, live and in color, at The Blue Side. The above video, produced when she was kind enough to come by our super secret headquarters to perform, features what we believe is her current single, “Wasting Time.” Live. Love. Learn. Also this weekend, Ginada Pinata will be at The Blue Side, and Jesse was gracious enough to offer up a Celebrity Playlist of his own earlier today. Rock and roll that. Hard Swimmin’ Fish, who, some months (years?) ago, came by to perform in the same manner you see Ms. Jonas above, will be returning to JoJo’s, and if you don’t like Hard Swimmin’ Fish, you don’t love life. Lost Keys, who we’ll be talking about extensively next week, will be soft-rockin’ Cafe Nola. Take note. There’s the Atmosphere Party at Cafe 611, and we spoke with that show’s organizer earlier this week. Some Amish Outlaws. Some jazz, via Jeff Cosgrove. Some Frank & Vinny, who we adore. Some Merlin’s Beard Band. Some Dirty Middle. And. Of course. Some Advanced Party Solutions. Could this be the last weekend before the snow comes? Perhaps. Check out the parade. Support local music. Smile. Repeat. T-minus two-and-a-half weeks until Christmas. Drink a hot toddy.
