Anyway, an important note: Apparently a Mercy Lounge ad ran a little funny in this week's paper — which, by the way, features music editor and Cream Captain Steve Haruch's cover story on climate change. The ad didn't have tonight's Lord T & Eloise show feat. Chancellor Warhol and Free Sol, nor did it mention The Dynamites' show tomorrow night or Hot Hot Heat on Wednesday. So absorb that knowledge and act accordingly. In addition to Mercy's happenings, you've also got Jeff Daniels (the actor!) playing music, Powerbrrrd with Diarrhea Planet, Here Come the Mummies, Bell Biv DeVoe, Ttotals' record release, the 9 Deep DJ Battle, Natalie Merchant and more. Hmmm. Pee Wee, Bell Biv DeVoe, Jeff Daniels, Natalie Merchant ... something about this weekend feels very late-’80s/early-’90s, no?
