Today: Pool Party; After Party @ Brooklyn Bowl; New York Night Train Dance Party; The Beets BBQ

Another Sunday means another Pool Party. Due to being out of town and severe hangovers I've only been to the first one this year. However, I think I'll swing by for Dark Meat today. Those dudes are fucking awesome. After that there are two pretty excellent options. First you have the official Pool Party after party at Brooklyn Bowl. They're supposed to have some kind of free booze for 2 hours! That's a pretty sweet deal. The other happening is The Beets are having a BBQ to celebrate Juan becoming an American citizen, that's at Cinders Gallery. If you're still standing around 9 then there's a New York Night Train party at K&M, which should still be rockin' after the free booze stops flowing at Brooklyn Bowl. So there you have it, your Sunday is all laid out for you - go get shit faced or got to church, which is it?

2009 JellyNYC Pool Parties Announced!

The 2009 Pool Party, which will not actually take place at McCarren Pool this year, lineups have been announced. I'm pretty excited about some of the talent this year - Black Lips, Mission Of Burma, Dark Meat, etc. Honestly I rarely ever even notice there are bands playing, too busy drinking and hanging out under the sun. This year the party moves to the Williamsburg water front, which means there should be a nice breeze coming off the river. Despite all the bands and the new location you know what I'm most excited about? BASKETBALL! Yup, there's going to be basketball courts this year and I'm going to fucking school you suckers.

Free Download: Vice Holiday Sampler + Raveonettes MP3

Times are rough, you probably lost your job (if you had one to begin with). So free shit is especially appreciated these days. Say thanks for Vice for putting together a nice holiday sampler with tracks from Black Lips, King Khan, Dark Meat (my new fave band), and more. Sure, you probably illegally downloaded these tracks months ago but it's still a nice gesture.
