· KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic eminence Nic Harcourt signs and discusses Music Lust: Recommended Listening for Every Mood, Moment and Reason at the Virgin Megastore on Sunset Blvd. Harcourt was the first DJ in America to spin Coldplay, so this will be a great opportunity to thank him for allowing Chris Martin and company to make sweet, sweet love to our ears.
· The Weekend Is Almost Here Music Round-Up: La De Da: The Posies at the Knitting Factory; The Section Quartet at the Echo; Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at the El Rey.
· It might be a little too late to get down to the Coliseum by now, but that's where Kanye West will be performing for the NFL's Opening Kickoff Event, and allegedly not offering commentary on the Bush Administration's job in New Orleans. Maybe fellow performers Maroon 5 or Good Charlotte will pick up the political slack. In any case, football season starts tonight. Between that and The OC, we doubt we'll be seeing anyone on the streets after 5pm or so.
