Nightlife Highlights: Mike & Ruthy Single Release Party
July 29. Following the false promise of the CD and the impersonal nothingness of the mp3, vinyl’s vindication has been an extra-sweet development for those of us who’ve known all along that wax is king. And to many of us it’s the seven-inch, 45-rpm vinyl record that’s the definitive format: two quick, say-it-all-on-one-side shots straight from the soul, presented with total focus and no wasteful filler. So the prospect of a new single by leading local folk rock duo Mike & Ruthy, “On My Home” b/w “My New York City” (the latter an unpublished Woody Guthrie original!), here celebrated with a live event at the Kleinert/James Art Center, is one more reason for vinyl heads to rejoice. (“Woodstock Beat,” a benefit for the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild featuring NEXUS and the Canadian Brass, hits Maverick Concert Hall July 2.) 8pm. $15. Woodstock. (845) 679-2079;
