Can the newly restored Paramount rock? Well, Deerhoof will try to find out when play there on Sunday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. Deerhoof formed in San Francisco in 1994 and now is signed with Kill Rock Stars. The band includes Satomi Matsuzaki, John Dieterich, Ed Rodriguez and Greg Saunier, and they're working on a new record. The band is hard to categorize so you'll have to see the show to experience them. Xiu Xiu and Father Murphy are also slated to perform. Tix: $18, available at www.artsemerson.org or 617-824-8000. Paramount Theatre, 559 Washington Street, Boston.
--In a show rescheduled from September, Blonde Redhead will provide art-damage rock, and maybe some literal damage. Really.

The Paradise Rock Club, 7:00 pm, $20.
If you're not into traveling all the way to the Tweeter Center for Journey and Def Leopard, check out this week's picks. Even if you are into heading down to the big name act's show you'll need something to do the rest of the week. There's no joking about it this week. Fall is here. By the time the weekend hits it's time to break out the cider and make some pumpkin pie. We're saving that for Sunday, however, the rest of the week is for music.
The debacle that was Hot Stove, Cool Music last week has made us ready for a week of good music. The debacle in that it poured so hard they had to move the whole thing under the bleachers (inside). The sound quality was poor and James Taylor pulled a rock star move and only made the stage for a single song because he didn't have enough space. This week we're looking forward to cooler...
We’re working for the weekend and it's only Monday. Rainy day outside and the sun is reported MIA until Wednesday. Despite the current gloom, things are looking mighty green outside - a good sign of spring. Flowering trees have done their thing and soon we’ll be smelling the lilacs. For now we’re settling for another cup of Stella while we soak up the tunes and the increasing temperatures. Monday 4/24: John Vanderslice mk Ultra...

Yeah, Sublimidible. Bostonist has heard Dubya utter that word a thousand times in rerun clips in the past four years, in fact we're pretty sure it came up as a hip hop mix during the last election cycle. According to a Boston Globe report last week the election debacle of 2000 is what got DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid kicked into gear speaking out about politics and history. Paul Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, remixed a film into a multimedia presentation "Rebirth of a Nation" that will be performed for the first time locally Friday at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre. The presentation has been performed around the country but DJ Spooky will perform the new work locally as part of Harvard’s Learning From Performers series. The performance will be followed by a discussion and question and answered session with real academic feel, moderated by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Chair of Harvard's Dept. of African and African American Studies. Get a preview of what’s in store Friday night at an event tonight at the Harvard Book Store at 6:30 p.m. Rhythm Science, Paul Miller’s book, has met some critical acclaim. The book speaks to mixing and the art form of the DJ. The pop culture favorite DJ anthology today seems to be the 36 Chambers, The RZA’s discusson of the Wu-Tang phenomenon. Rhythm Science was just released in paperback, with a CD, on March 1, 2005 (It came out hardcover last summer). Catch the DJ in Cambridge for two days of thinking hip hop not as a cultural phenomenon but as a method to splice old and new ideas into a newly creative work.
