A few delayed and abbreviated reminders for your busy weekend:

Firday

• You have two chances to catch Rainer Maria again (or to make up for missing their oversized emo sound last time they were in town) this weekend. Those who can’t make it to tonight’s show (with the Format and Anathallo) [neumos] on account of a certain Red Sox-Mariners matchup, should check out free in-store performance on Saturday at the Queen Anne Easy Street Records [bmh].

Saturday

• Local bands! Kickball! Dog parade! If you’re incapable of missing a free Divorce show, this is the block party for you. They suggest kicking in $5, but if you’re a neighborhood interloper it’s unlikely that you need to worry about dirty looks if you sneak in for less. [lake-fest]
• Sparkly! Quiet! British! Pop! The Clientele (with Fleet Foxes) [chopsuey] Not convinced by terse exclamations? Try before you buy via an live in-studio [kexp].

p.s. today’s the last day to get your Bumbershoot tickets on the cheap — 5 bucks off the daily rate, 10 bucks off the three-day pass. No service fees if your nearest Starbucks is still open, otherwise dial them up on
