So, here's what happened in the world of live music this weekend.
New York City paid tribute to proto-house DJ Larry Levan
The good folks at the Red Bull Music Academy closed a block of King Street in New York's Hudson Square neighbourhood, in front of the former location of Larry Levan's Paradise Garage nightclub. They threw a giant dance party, featuring Levan's colleagues like François K and David DePino, as part of a larger initiative to name the same block Larry Levan Way. The whole thing was streamed over the internet.

Morrissey and Tom Jones played a show in Los Angeles
The Pope of Mope kicked off a new tour last week, and while he won't be playing Canada, he is bringing Tom Jones along to open for him. No, you're thinking of the right Tom Jones.
