Tuesday has had me so stressed out for a long time because sometimes I don't understand why everyone has to be a headliner. Take YACHT and Ought, for example. Both bands are awesome; both get pretty heavy rotation (at least on satellite radio). How much better of a bill could you have than YACHT and Ought? Come on?! Instead, Yacht will be rockin' the Casbah on the heels of their latest release, "I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler," and hopefully Ought goes on really late at the Hideout so you can feasibly get from the Casbah to the Hideout in time to see both. Otherwise, you've got to choose between two really great shows at exactly the same time. If you're not facing this dilemma, New Politics and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness appear at the House of Blues, while Lianne la Havas is at yhe Observatory, and Strange Talk play at Soda Bar.
