Man, how do you get a cold in the middle of summer? I feel like ass. I’m not going anywhere this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. While I hide out in my place eating 4th Street Deli’s chicken noodle soup with gigantic matzo balls, the rest of The Deli folks will be heading over to Post Post’s EP Release Party at KFN this Saturday night, and you should too. Yes, we love their name almost as much as we love their music. In a generation that uses the word “post” as often as we do when describing music, you can’t help but be slightly amused. So grab a copy of Resident and check out our recent Where Is My Mind? with Post Post’s Michelle Zauner! Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $5, 21+
