LATE IN THE EVENING

Legendary American singer-songwriter Paul Simon is playing live at the 9:30 Club tonight. Favorite Simon album is One Trick Pony from 1980. It features the opening song Late in the Evening, here given the ES re-rub to bring out the dance floor friendly parts...

LIVE THOSE DAYS

What a great week for music lovers. It started off with legendary new wavers The Cars live at the 9:30 Club on Monday. Next up, a soulful session with Raphael Saadiq on Wednesday (check out this review by Rhome Anderson) - also at the 9:30 - followed by a brilliant club session with Belgian beat crafter Aeroplane later the same night at U Street Music Hall.

Tonight British indie band Friendly Fires are appearing at the 9:30 to present songs from their new album Pala. Tomorrow night, the 9:30 serves up a live performance by legendary Paul Simon. And Saturday sees the return of Axel F at LIV for an all-nighter of jheri curl funk and champagne soul delivered by DCs own vibe conductor Rhome Anderson aka DJ Stylus.

My favorite Friendly Fires tune is the Aeroplane remix of Paris (featuring the lovely vocals of Au Revoir Simone), posted yesterday.

Check out the Friendly Fires in a Depeche Mode...

Their new album Pala was released on May 16. First single out is Live Those Days Tonight.

50 WAYS

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
