Come this fall, the adorable and awesome St. Vincent will be joining Andrew Bird for a month's worth of shows. Without veering into the realm of pretentiousness both St. Vincent (nee Annie Clark) and Bird have carved out nice niches for themselves: she as a rockin' version of Holly Golightly and he as a hip whistling, violin player with a neat looping machine. If St. Vincent's
show at Webster Hall and Bird's
at Carnegie Hall are any indication, this should be one amazing tour.

LAST YEAR, THE ROTHBURY FESTIVAL made fantastic inroads into the summer circuit as a destination event that was well worth the trip to the Midwest. They've outdone themselves this year with sets from Bob Dylan, The Dead and a reunited String Cheese Incident making for a fine slate of headliners. If you are sitting at home wondering what might be going on in Michigan this weekend, check out a couple sets at home by
