PICK OF THE WEEK: Fleeting Joys @ UCLA Cooperage
Quit holding your breath for the My Bloody Valentine reunion. Fleeting Joys has all the rich, creamy MBV goodness you love with zero grams of trans fat and they’re totally spreadable. I Can’t Believe It’s Not My Bloody Valentine, Friday at the UCLA Coop.
UPDATE: In true MBV fashion, word on the street is this show is cancelled. Sorry, gazers of shoe.

j rocc every wed at the knittng factory has been cancelled. just so you know.
you mean its not a weekly thing anymore sasha??? if so that sucks i was planning to go next week
Thanks for the update, Sasha. The Wednesday night J Rocc shows have been stricken from the record.
yea, they canned it maybe two weeks ago. I was plannging on going too.
Was at Knitting Factory last night (wife’s a huge Over the Rhine fan) and saw a cancelled notice up over Prefuse73. And I just checked the Knitting Factory site – CANCELLED.
Thanks for the tip, Jimmy. What is going on with the Knitting Factory cancellations?
The Knitting Factory seems to have a very strict booking policy. ONE GOOD SHOW A MONTH!
Once a month sounds about right. Let’s not forget that the Knitting Factory is a chain–maybe not as bad as the Old Spaghetti, Cheesecake or Burlington Coat Factories, but a chain nonetheless. And every time a business adds another link to their chain they lose a part of their soul.
Speaking of the Knit, my duders in Brilliant Red Lights are playing there on Sunday the 28th. After a long day of watching people drive in circles, I think spastic art-punk is exactly the ticket.
is bloc party really happening? i haven’t seen any news on it besides here.
It’s really happening–Bloc Party with Broken Social Scene on August 3 at the Greek, on sale Sat @ 10

Editor tickets are still available. I suggest getting them before KROQ plays them and they’re sold to bandwaggoners. Surprisingly, Bloc Party isn’t sold out yet.
