It was the 3rd of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day....

Back from the Cape.....Not much music activity during my week at Cape Cod. The Generators are now Gonzo Morelli (go figure) and did not have a gig scheduled, which is good because they would have cut our balls off if they recognized us at a show (the reason). Did not get to the opening of Harry's Blues Bar in Hyannis, but discovered that Elvis frequents the area for golf and other social activities and the King promised to bring his performance gear to next year's function. Thank you very much.

Meanwhile, the Courant's Eric Danton prioritizes this Summer's concert schedule in Thursday's Cal section:

Summer School of Rock - 2007 Summer Concerts Need Help Choosing Which Concerts To See This Summer? Funny You Should Ask ... by ERIC R. DANTON (Courant Rock Critic)

Summer is a glorious time for fans of live music, though it can be tough to whittle the bounty of bookings into a manageable itinerary of rock 'n' roll (or country, blues, folk, whatever). We are here to help. What follows is a week-by-week breakdown of the summer, highlighting a must-see show for each week, with a backup. You know, in case there are scheduling conflicts with cook-outs or Little League games. They're not always the biggest or most obvious shows (Dave Matthews Band again? Meh), but they are generally the most interesting and potentially rewarding live performances happening in a given week.

Week of May 28

Essential: Fall Out Boy - The Chicago band elevated itself from the hordes of similar-sounding pop-punk bands, thanks to catchy hooks and imaginative videos. The band has played roughly a million times in Connecticut, but this is its first headlining show in Hartford's amphitheater. Saturday, June 2 at Dodge Music Center in Hartford.

Plan B: Chris Brown and Hot Jam 6 - The hotshot young R&B singer rounds out a bill that includes Mims, Lil Wayne, Swiss Beatz and Fabolous. Friday, June 1 at the Hartford Civic Center.

Week of June 4

Essential: Feist - Expect intimate, captivating songs from "The Reminder," the most recent album by Canadian singer Leslie Feist. This show opens the U.S. leg of her spring tour. June 8 at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton, Mass.

Plan B: Ween - "Brothers" Gene and Dean Ween transcend parody and head straight to surrealist send-ups of rock, pop and country, poking fun at the self-serious earnestness of so much popular music. June 8 at the Webster Theatre in Hartford.
