There are still tickets available for the Greg Dulli curated “I’ll Be Your Mirror” rock festival that’s happening in NYC this coming weekend. “I’ll Be Your Mirror” is an offshoot of the artist-curated “All Tomorrow’s Parties” fests and the line-up for this one is especially good. The three nights of the Dulli/ATP co-curated “I’ll Be Your Mirror” shows will take place at Pier 36 in Lower Manhattan.

R&B performer/songwriter Frank Ocean is the headliner of the Friday night opening show: the reformed Afghan Whigs top the bill the following night and Sunday night Godspeed You! Black Emperor headline (It’s The Magic Band, yes, players from Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band, who I see as the real draw that night. No offense to anyone else, but The Magic Band? Count me in!)

Below, the Afghan Whigs tear if up at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC back in May with a cover of Frank Ocean’s “Love Crimes.” I’ve heard from several people that their shows since reforming have been amazing and this clip is certainly a testament to that buzz:
 

 
Update: I cannot get this song out of my head.
