Triple Double

What softens a recession's bite as effectively as cheap booze? Nothing...except free entertainment. While "Triple Double"—the Triple Rock's freshly reinvented Tuesday bacchanal—offers both commodities by the truckload, the night's ever-changing DJ roster and floating-genre music selection make leaving the house to drink a far more attractive proposition than mere two-for-one tap beers and well drinks (or fucking karaoke) ever could. Next week's lineup, featuring Vampire Hands vocalist and percussionist Colin Johnson, generalist DJ TRL, and Rhymesayers/Current bastion Kevin Beachum, provides a textbook example of the madness behind curators Wes Winship and Mike the 2600 King's method. We who are about to rock, er, hip-hop, uh, soul or whatever, can only salute them.
