Last night was an Orenda Fink show at The Goofy Foot that I didn't attend. Anyone who did, feel free to share your comments about the show. Tonight is Bombardment Society, Gnome Slaughterhouse and Goodbye Spoon at Sokol Underground. 9 p.m., $5. Cheap!

A few headlines from the net:

-- I had mentioned to someone a few months ago that CBGB's in NYC was in financial straits due to rent issues. They didn't believe me. Well, here's a BBC story that talks about fundraising efforts to keep the place open. The story even deciphers what CBGB UMFUG means.
-- NME has a story about Mike Mogis flying to Stockholm to work on the new Concretes album. "While he has worked with non-Saddle Creek bands before, this marks the first time Mogis has left his studio to record in a European studio with a European band." What's the deal with that Omaha studio, Mike?
-- There is talk about an Omaha premiere for the new Saddle Creek DVD "Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek..." Billboard mentioned this in a July 7 article, but I've also heard talk about a premiere showing at the Dundee Theater sometime mid-month. More to come.
