Weekend Music

This weekend there are a lot of shows that we recommend you avoid, not that you're going to listen to Seattlest and tear up your tickets or anything, but if you previously had no idea these were happening this weekend you can pat yourself on the back for successfully avoiding any mention of them so far. First Fishbone is playing Studio 7. Stay away. Second, Jello Biafra is in town. Not there's anything wrong with Jello, exactly. Let's just say he draws a particular crowd. Finally, the Gypsy Kings are at the Paramount.

Now for the the good stuff: Dinosaur Jr. has already been covered here so we can skip that. The Meat Puppets will be playing all the ditties that Kurt Cobain made famous on Saturday night at the Croc. What is that? Why are some blasts from the past cool while others are not? Shut up.

Sean Nelson is reprising his "Nelson Sing Nillson" thing from last year which, depending on who you ask, was either the greatest thing that ever happened or just Nelson being Nelson. Here he is with "Awesome" although they don't seem to be on the bill with him on Saturday at the Triple Door.

Also on Saturday at the Blue Moon are A Gun That Shoots Knives, but sadly our YouTube-fu failed us and we couldn't come up with any video for them. We'll have to settle for MySpace, but, really, you can just look at this picture and decide if you're going to be into this show or not.

Finally, Seattlest contributor Kim Ruehl will be out doing this weekend with her band Betamax at The Rendezvous on Sunday night.
