We first learned of Cookie Rabinowitz, which also included Schoolly D at the time, through their hilarious, NSFW animation series. And while Schoolly did make mention of the series possibly being picked up by Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim a while back, it sadly still hasn’t materialized. However, Cookie Rabinowitz continue to provide us with some seriously righteous "four eyed soul" that also comes with one of the neatest lyric videos for their latest single, "Every St.," which you can view below. Embrace the good vibes, and learn a little sign language and a few nifty dance moves while your at it!

MilkBoy Philly celebrates its 3rd anniversary with a fully-stacked three day lineup of FREE SHOWS that already featured the likes of Black Landlord, The Ataris, and Cheerleader. But tonight’s show will be the icing on the cake with The Lawsuits. The band has already had a good summer that saw them playing XPoNential Music Fest and releasing a music video for “Dreaming #26,” off their latest album Cool Cool Cool. They are getting closer to releasing their next EP Tumbled on September 23 via American Diamond Recordings, and you can take a listen to its lead single, “Sweet Marcelle,” below. It will also be a good chance to catch Mo Lowda & The Humble before the beginning of their residency at Bourbon & Branch next month. The former Deli Philly Featured Artist(s) Poll winners have been gaining some headway, recently being featured on Huffington Post. Kicking things off will be the always earnest, emotive tunes of Our Griffins. MilkBoy Philly, 1100 Chestnut St., 9pm, Free, 21+ (Photo by Rachel Barrish) – Bill McThrill

The 53rd Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival kicks into high gear today, and will sustain itself on a premium blend of high-quality tunes and positive vibes throughout the weekend.

For those looking for a taste of local flavor, a wide assortment is at your disposal including: Kwesi K, Mutlu, Katie Frank & The Pheromones, The Wallace Brothers, and many more. Friday afternoon’s Philadelphia Music Co-Op Showcase features the likes of Vulcans, Kalob Griffin Band, and Black Horse Motel, among others, offering a solid sampling of our continuously growing folk/roots community. Reverend TJ McGlinchey will be holding a ukulele workshop were fellow Lover’s League member Dani Mari may be singing along. All this with a solid musical dose that also includes the soulful blues explosion of Shemekia Copeland, the funky get-down groove-making Rebirth Brass Band, and the legendary Loudon Wainwright III, buzzing Sturgill Simpson, and Deli faves The Lone Bellow, and Old Crow Medicine Show, just to name a few. You can check out its full schedule HERE. Old Pool Farm (Schwenksville, PA), 1323 Salford Station Rd., Various Times & Prices, All Ages – Michael Colavita

This evening, at the Theatre of Living Arts, you’ll find Doylestown’s Commonwealth Choir as the featured headliners of a stacked local area bill. The guys are still living off the buzz of their debut EP Shirtless and their energetic live performances. Shorty boy-boy has been taking a bit of hiatus while frontman Joshua Pannepacker has joined the band Cheerleader. But they have recently resurfaced with a new music video for “Crickets,” and will be back to deliver a live set where you can expect the unexpected. Since Air is Human unveiled an unreleased track from their upcoming album on Y-Not Radio, there’s a good chance that you may be treated to more new material. The rest of BITBY Summer Sounds will be rounded out by Pine Barons, Weekender, and Mark Lanky. Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St., 7pm, $11, All Ages – Bill McThrill

Here is a new single from bushy-haired, folk troubadour Jeremiah Tall called "Time." The song is meant to reflect "the change of seasons and mood as we, here in the Northeast, know all to well." Enjoy!

Tonight, Johnny Brenda’s invites you to experience the intergalactic sonic explorations of guitarist Tim Motzer as he celebrates the release of Live From Star’s End, which is available via Motzer’s label 1k Recordings. The record captures Motzer’s improvisational performance on Chuck Van Zyl’s WXPN Star’s End show, November 3, 2013. Motzer guides the guitar-driven journey through a series of electronic tests, altering and helping to shape the space around him, while melding various textures of sound in the process. On a similar thread, harpist Mary Lattimore develops complex tones, creating an environment that peacefully provides a place for one’s mind to momentarily escape. Having recently released her debut album The Withdrawing Room, Lattimore is also working on an EP, Slant of Light, with the ever-talented producer/musician Jeff Zeigler, which will be available soon via Thrill Jockey Records. Guitar/banjo aficionado Brandon Seabrook, who released his solo debut Sylphid Vitalizers this past June, occupies the middle slot, and a collaborative performance could spice up the evening’s conclusion. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Earlier this year, Coversations with Enemies revealed that they’d be changing their band name by shortening it to Conversations, which made sense to us with all their lineup changes over the years. The quartet just shared their latest romantic little ditty yesterday called "Airplanes." It was recorded at Headroom Studios with Joe Reinhart, and mastered at Spice House studios.

Armani White and his crew have been working hard on new material in the studio. Here is the first track from their sessions called "Picture Perfect." It was produced by KilConfirmed, and features vocals from WATTS.

Steady Hands is currently on tour with W.C. Lindsay, and they’ll be making a stop at The Fire tonight for an early all-ages show. What started out as a solo folk-punk project from Modern Baseball drummer Sean Huber has blossomed into a full band with help from the entire W.C. Lindsay crew, bandmate Jake Ewald, Evan Moorehead, and Andrew Kirnan. Steady Hands has a new EP, entitled Brandy Of The Damned, coming out on August 19 via Lame-O Records, but you’ll be able to grab your copy beforehand at this evening’s performance. Also on the bill are Florida’s Echo Base and Henrietta and New Jersey’s Lake Effect. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 7pm, $8, All Ages (Photo by Ally Newbold) – H.M. Kauffman
