1.Seun Kuti at the Cedar Cultural Center
This will probably crack my All Time favorite shows list. Incredible.
2. Shabazz Palacesat the Whole Music Club (Review / Photos)
I figured with the bad sound and poor lighting this wouldn’t be a terrific show but I was absolutely dead wrong.
3. Andrew WK at First Avenue (Photos)
It’s fun to party
4. Soundset (Review / Photos 1 2)
Rae and Ghost, Big KRIT, Danny Brown, the list goes on. My only regret is that they didn’t get Killer Mike
5. Heliotrope (Coverage)
I was sick for most of this but as usual, what I did make it to was amazing

Last night’s El-P/Killer Mike show lands at #3 at least if I was to go revise my list
The Walkmen from last Saturday at First Ave and Japandroids at the Entry would be in my top 5 for sure
