Thursday once again has lots of choices among showcases so I won't be upset if we can't make my Plan A. But this is quite a showcase*. Start with the Mohawk and its 2 stages so there's always music playing. Then add their new, much larger balcony which should be complete. Mix in esteemed labels Secretly Canadian(Yeasayer), Jagjaguwar(Bon Iver), and Dead Oceans(Destroyer), and you can't go wrong. Not enough? How about throwing in these bands already discussed at the Fan Club:
Bear In Heaven-future Mrs. Smith's favorite
Sharon Van Etton
The War on Drugs
Gardens & Villa- my predicted breakout band
Still not enough? I'll post songs from some of the other bands today to convince you. First up is Exitmusic, a duo out of L.A. The singer just so happens to be Aleksa Palladino aka Jimmy's wife, Angela Darmody (no spoilers for those who haven't seen "Boardwalk Empire"). Haunting music. They'll be playing inside.
The Sea
*I'm assuming we can get in if we're early but who knows. The Pitchfork showcase Thursday w/Fiona Apple is badges only. Nothing has been announced for Stubb's or ACL yet.

Awesome line-up! I predict we'll have to get there early and wait in line for a while, but I'm okay with that.
