Today is fairly light on shows (perhaps that little event down south has something to do with it) but there are some highlights worth noting. While I’m not the biggest fan, the First Mariner Arena here in Baltimore has Lil’ Wayne, T-Pain, and Gym Class Heroes. Down in DC the Red and the Black has Hot Coffee Mississippi, Strange Faces, Puma Libre, and E Joseph and the Phantom Heart. Also The Ting Tings are playing the 9:30 Club with Hot Tub opening. Enjoy!

Tonight in Baltimore don’t miss out on a beautiful music event over at the Talking Head with Nicole Atkins, Abby Mott, and Kadman. If you crave some louder music the Ottobar has your fix with The Matrimonials, The Demon Beat, Snowmen, and The Young Jaguars (members of Thee Lexington Arrows). If you are down in DC don’t miss Pree’s CD Release with Meredith Bragg and Birdlips at the Black Cat. Also in DC are The.Black.Out.District, The Console War, and Sean McArdle who play the Rock and Roll Hotel. Finally up north in Philadelphia if you are going tonight’s Ting Tings show make sure to head over to the Starlight Ballrom (it was moved from the FUC). Hot Tub will be opening for them. Enjoy!

Tonight in DC there’s good sounds all around town. The Red and the Black have a new favorite of mine, Hooray For Earth along with No Compromise. The Black Cat has the Radar Brothers and Aerialist while DC9 has The Childballads, The King Left, and Howlies. Over in Fredericksburg, VA the Third Floor has a stellar night of music with Ra Ra Riot, Princeton, and Carlos, I’m Pregnant. Up north in Philly the Fillmore at the TLA has Scott Weiland, The Airborne Toxic Event, and The Ting Tings while the North Star Bar is where it’s at with Manchester Orchestra, Kevin Devine, Dead Confederate, and All Get Out perform. Enjoy your night!

Also tomorrow night in Baltimore at the Sidebar Thee Lexington Arrows perform with the Howlies (who again are performing tonight at DC9).
A few weeks back we posted on the fabulous mixtape The Hood Internet put together for Tobacco and Aesop Rock mash-ups, but little did we know that they were in the midst of producing The Mix Tape Volume Three. This thing is mega and might be their best yet. Chromeo vs. Rihanna? MF Doom vs. Ladytron? Hell yes! Here’s my favorites so far (but the whole thing is worth the download):
mp3: The Hood Internet – MF DOOM vs. Ladytron – My Favorite Ladytrons
mp3: The Hood Internet – Estelle (feat. Kanye West) vs. The Ting Tings – Sut Up, American Boy
Download the whole thing here.
If you’re in the city of brotherly love/world series champions then add another winning token into the old jukebox of life, cuz The Ting Tings are playing one of those fabulous free Myspace shows tonight at The Barbary. Doors open at 7:30 (get there earlier…duh) and people are encouraged to dress up and get wild. Happy Halloween!
