Torn Curtain already posted this on the St. Vincent thread, but I imagined it deserved exposure on this part of the board. From Pitchfork:

 

Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991, the 2001 book by music writer Michael Azerrad, chronicled the birth of the U.S. indie rock movement by telling the stories of 13 of the scene's biggest bands. That book turns 10 this year, which makes a few of us feel very, very old. To celebrate the anniversary, Azerrad is putting on a big tribute show called Our Band Could Be Your Concert at New York's Bowery Ballroom on May 22. Artists from today's indie scene will cover songs by bands from the book. The lineup for this thing is already nuts, and it's not even done yet.

The Dirty Projectors' David Longstreth, Nat Baldwin, and Brian McOmber will cover Black Flag (fittingly), St. Vincent will play Big Black, Titus Andronicus will play the Replacements, Ted Leo will play Minor Threat, tUnE-yArDs will play Sonic Youth, Dan Deacon will play the Butthole Surfers, Wye Oak will play Dinosaur Jr., Buke & Gass will play Fugazi, and Delicate Steve will play the Minutemen. More bands will also be announced later.
