A 43-year old Pomona man armed with a homemade bow and arrow was foiled in an attempt to take over a train in Montclair Sunday. How much more old school can you get? You’d need to hold up a stagecoach with a battle axe to top this guy.
Recommended Show of the Week: Gilles Peterson @ Vanguard. Every Sunday night all the cool kids in the UK tune in to Gilles’ radio show, Worldwide, on BBC Radio 1 to hear live sessions of popular and upcoming artists. It’s kind of like Rodney on the Roq, but far more groundbreaking and far less creepy. To support an upcoming ‘best of’ compilation, Gilles is taking his show on the road and showcasing acts featured on the album. Thursday night’s show at the Vanguard will feature heavyweights Dwele, Madlib, Peanut Butter Wolf, Rebirth and surpise guests (Beck?).
TV on the Radio are playing a secretish small show at the Troubadour ( Monday 10/10).
