SummerStage, Fusicology and Future x Sounds celebrated what would’ve been J. Dilla‘s 50th birthday with “Sounds of Detroit” at Herbert Von King Park on Friday night (7/12). Breakbeat Lou started off the night with a DJ set, and he joined Slum Village during their set, which included a new song from this year’s F.U.N. (and a couple of brief periods of light rain). T3 hailed Dilla, who had previously been part of the group, as “an original and authentic,” and he and Young RJ said “we’re doing this for J Dilla!” before launching into “Tainted.”

It seems hard to believe that The Wonder Years and The Menzingers have never toured together but I guess that’s true though it won’t be for much longer. They’ve just announced a fall trek and TWY write, “I first heard The Menzingers in 2008 when we were living just blocks apart, both playing various basement shows in South and West Philly. 16 years later, we’re finally touring together.” Making it a great triple bill, Liquid Mike opens. A presale for all dates begins today (7/16) at noon Eastern (password = GOBIRDS) and the general public on-sale begins Friday (7/19).

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.
