In the Mix

On Saturday, the Push Stars turn up, while Elastica (led by the inimitably cool Justine Frischmann, left), perhaps the best of the groups of the so-called Britpop invasion of the mid-'90s, will perform at Avalon. (Incidentally, the version of Trio's '80s hit "Da Da Da" that closes The Menace, Elastica's latest album, is pure genius.)

For the perfect Sunday rest, Alice Cooper and Dope will be at the Orpheum. Well, school's out for Monday anyway...

Finally, next Thursday, the "Word of Mouth Tour" comes to Axis, with performances by the Beat Junkies, Dilated Peoples and the ever-impressive Jurassic 5, probably my favorite hip-hop crew at the moment.

Whew. From punk-pop to Britpop to hard rock to hip-hop. And that's not even the half of it. Time to get moving to a ticket agents.

YES, I HAVE NO LIFE

Song sample source of the week: the Just Brothers' "Sliced Tomatoes," which forms most of the guitar line of Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank."
