Any day you can post a Karen Jonas video on top of the Weekend Playlist is a good day (even though today, admittedly, has been a pretty bad day thus far). Anyway, she’s going to be at The Blue Side tonight and we are going to be reviewing her latest album in only a handful of weeks. You know she’s one of our favorites. And it’s a beautiful day outside. So … what are you waiting for?! Get downtown before it gets too cold, which we believe is set to happen tomorrow. Even so, don’t let that sway you from checking out this thing going on at Cafe Nola tomorrow night with The Milestones, Tuff Junior, which features members of both Old Indian and Heavy Lights, as well as this tiny group called Doublemotorcycle. Not saying. But just saying. Elsewhere this weekend, we have a bunch of open mics. Some jazz tonight with the fabulous Jeff Cosgrove. A couple Safe Harbors. Triple Lindy. The Windtalker. The New Thirty. The Plank Stompers. And, of course, Drunk. Naked Pirates. Don’t forget to turn those clocks every which way Saturday night. Goodbye, early March. Hello, mid-month. Go hold a door for somebody. You’ll feel good.
