In sleepy New London town there's no place for a street-fighting man
The final list of this summer's Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan Center (239 S. Main St., Salt Lake City) has been announced. New additions include Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, an indie rock band formed in the same town where I went to college, New London, Conn. The band members formed at Connecticut College, which is right across the street from where I went, the Coast Guard Academy. In the good ol' days, Conn College was an all-girls school and the CGA was all guys, and there are many old salts who are married to girls with a Conn College degree. Now that both are co-ed, Conn College girls avoid the CG guys like the plague; they immediately see the navy-blue wool overcoats and combo covers and scram.

But that's neither here nor there.

Here's the list, and all are free:

July 10: The Roots
July 17: Andrew Bird, Josh Ritter
July 24: De La Soul
July 31: Yonder Mountain String Band, Keller Williams
Aug. 7: Nada Surf, Tim Fite
Aug. 14: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Aug. 21: Big Sleep, Broken Social Scene
Aug. 28: Neko Case, Crooked Fingers

David Burger is the pop music/pop culture writer at The Salt Lake Tribune. He's been at several newspapers, including Scranton, Pennsylvania, the home of "The Office." Before that, he spent five years in the Coast Guard. There, on boring midnight watches on the bridge, he would try to keep himself awake and/or keep from throwing up by singing "Thunder Road" to himself while balancing a sextant on his nose. (He'd also look for drowning people, of course.) He also likes condiments, except when throwing up.
