Review: Antony and the Johnsons' The Crying Light
I just want to quickly reiterate that I realize no one really wants to read long reviews of albums. That’s why I’m going to include a very quick one or two sentence review at the beginning of any review posts. I’ll try to convey whether or not the album is worth your time as succinctly [...]
Quick, Hurry Up!
There’s a new National track on the Dark Was the Night myspace for today and today only. You won’t get a chance to hear it again until the comp comes out in February! I missed Grizzly Bear’s yesterday, but the National are another favorite of mine. Keep checking back in the next few days to [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Dirty Projectors at BAM
Dirty Projectors will be performing tomorrow at Brooklyn Academy of Music as part of the kick-off celebration for the venue’s Next Stage Campaign along with other performers/artists like Laurie Anderson, Brightblack Morning Lights, Nona Hendryx, and Poor Baby Bree. It’s a chance for these Brooklyn art-rockers to show their stuff in contrast to other kinds [...]

Great New Band: That Ghost
That Ghost‘s Young Fridays has been on constant repeat at my apartment lately. 18-year-old Ryan Schmale’s brand of bedroom lo-fi is addictive, the kind of music that puts into words all of the angst about life and growing up that most people try to forget. For people in college, his tunes will certainly evoke comparisons [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Vivian Girls at Market Hotel
I try not classify bands as “all-girl.” Just because you’re a woman and happen to be making music with other women doesn’t mean you should get described that way. But I do seem to be on a roll today…tomorrow’s recommended show of the day is the Vivian Girls at Market Hotel at 8PM. If you’ve [...]
New Band Alert: Those Darlins
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0oZ38g_P7U&hl=en&fs=1] Everyone and their mothers have been blogging about Those Darlins recently, but I am in strong support of them, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. They’re an alt-country outfit from Tennessee who play simple southern rock. It’s pretty great to hear a group of southern-accented rocker chicks singing “I’m just driving nails [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Department of Eagles at Bowery Ballroom
Imagine a couple members of Grizzly Bear form a side project that’s more intimate and emotional, with equally good songwriting. Sound like the best thing ever? That’s pretty much Department of Eagles. I’ve never seen them live or even seen any video, but I’m impressed enough by their latest album, In Ear Park that I can [...]
Recommended Sunday Show
Hi all! I’m not going to recommend a show for tomorrow (today? I think this blog is set to West coast time for some reason. I will try to deal with that). To be perfectly honest, I don’t know anyone playing except very vaguely, and I don’t want to tell anyone to go to anything [...]

The Loom
I am really behind on this one, but I just discovered The Loom. Their five song EP, At Last Light, has been out for several months already. If you haven’t heard it yet, take a trip over to their myspace and listen to the tracks (in total they’re only about fifteen minutes). The music is [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Team Robespierre/NinjaSonik at The Delancey
Holy mama there are a lot of shows happening tomorrow! It’s like all of a sudden everyone decided to come out of hibernation. (And can someone please explain to me how Max Tundra is playing at both Studio B and Le Poisson Rouge at 10PM?) It was a difficult choice (with Boogie Boarder at Death [...]
