There will be drink specials, raffle prizes (from sezio), and a photobooth to submit your mustache picture, which will be included in their album packaging.

MVM : The Faint

I've been made fun of a lot lately for running this song into the ground. My excuse: The Faint is coming to Street Scene this year! Actual reason: I'm obsessed. The line up is pretty insane though, check it out here.

Del Mar Summer Concert Series

The fairgrounds are finally done with American Idols.  This late summer lineup took me by complete surprise as I saw kicking off the first show, this Friday, is G. Love & Special Sauce.  With his mellow, but harsh attitude, his live show should be very entertaining.  Also, due for an appearance in August, with their infamous stage show, is the Flaming Lips.  Local favorite Pinback will also be playing in late August and mellow sylist Pete Yorn shows up in September.

The most amazing part about these shows is that they are all free.  Just be at the fairgrounds right when the last race finishes, which is usually around 7 PM, and stick around for the tunes.

Lineup is below.

Fri, July 24th - G. Love & Special Sauce

Fri, July 31st - The Wailers

Fri, Aug 7th - The Airborne Toxic Event

Fri, Aug 14th - Common Sense

Sat, Aug 15th - The Flaming Lips

Fri, Aug 21st - Pinback

Sat, Aug 22nd - Steel Pulse

Fri, Aug 28th - Super Diamod

Fri, Sept 4th - Pete Yorn

Sun, Sept 6th - Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival feat. Ziggy Marley
