WHAT TO SEE:

  • Make sure you catch 2:54 at Johnny Brenda’s this weekend, where the sisters from London will be taking the stage. Caution: the show is 21+.
  • Hey, Upper East Siders. Blair Waldorf here. And by here, we mean Philly, on Thursday. Leighton Meester will be playing a set of her pop music at 7:30 pm at the Trocadero. We know you’ll love it. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

WHAT TO LISTEN TO:

  • If you haven’t heard yet, Drake dropped If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late out of nowhere on Thursday. Check out his follow–up to Nothing Was the Same on iTunes.
  • Adventures are releasing Supersonic Home, their first album, on Run for Cover Records this week. They’ve got a great indie sound, especially when considering three–fourths of the band com from Pittsburgh band Code Orange Kids. 

WHAT TO BRING UP IN CONVERSATION:

  • Vice's music channel, Noisey, has an interesting op-ed up right now about sexism and country music, in light of Miranda Lambert’s Grammy win.
  • Remember Fun.? The trio that penned “We Are Young” has announced that they won’t be releasing new music any time soon, or at least not until it feels right. Hats off to them. It takes a lot to back off in the name of artistic integrity when you’re that big.
