I have to admit that tonight's music options leave me torn. On one hand, I missed Tapes 'n Tapes last time they played the Casbah because I was at South By Southwest, all the while seeing all of the tweets about how amazing the show was. On the other hand, I saw Man/Miracle a while back at the Belly Up when they opened for Rogue Wave, and I totally dug them. So what's a girl to do? Well, I'll just have to let the chips fall where they may, but note that the last time Tapes 'n Tapes were here, the show sold out, so you might want to think about that when you're making the choice for yourself.
