It's a good week indeed, with a handful of shows celebrating the 55th birthday of singular avant-garde guitarist Marc Ribot. While his eclectic career includes playing with Elvis Costello and on Tom Waits' Rain Dogs, it's his original compositions that are truly impressive. Ribot has the special talent of being able to switch seamlessly between rock, jazz, and experimental tracks such as the eerily beautiful "When We Were Young and We Were Freaks," which blends beat-like poetry and haunting melodies with sharp blasts of spectacular noise. His cover of the Doors' "Break on Through" is pretty awesome, too.
