Recommended Sunday Show: Pwrfl Power and Sharon Van Etten + More at Glasslands
This Sunday there’s a lovely little singer-songwriter shindig going down at Glasslands. Pwrfl Power is a quirky guitar playin’, strange singin’, vaguely Mountain Goats-y artist. I talk about Sharon Van Etten all the time because she plays all the time and is wonderful, but again, check her out. She’s got a hauntingly gorgeous voice. Other [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Motel Motel at The Bell House
If you weren’t fortunate enough to shell out the big bucks for the Final Fantasy/Grizzly Bear show at BAM, there are a plethora of other, smaller, excellent shows happening tomorrow night. I’d be remiss not to mention that Marissa Nadler is playing the very last show at Sound Fix records’ space for free at 8PM. [...]
Fun New Band: Kittens Ablaze
I forget how I stumbled across Kittens Ablaze, but I’ve been thinking about doing a post on them for a few days now. The first time I listened to their song “Gloom Doom Buttercups” I wasn’t really sure. First of all, Kittens Ablaze isn’t my favorite band name ever, nor is “Gloom Doom Buttercups” a [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Blitzen Trapper, Plants and Animals, and Alela Diane at Bowery Ballroom
This show is jam-packed with exciting acts! First of all, Blitzen Trapper is great- a truly solid, dependable band that will always be there for you in your times of need. I thought Furr was one of the best albums of 2008. These alt-rockers have consistently excellent, entertaining songwriting. Their music has real, true soul [...]
There and Back Again #3: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
For my first two “There and Back Agains” I chose albums from the early nineties. I figured that for this one I should probably go a little further back into the catalog. I looked at several (annoyingly) reputable and irreputable top 100 and top 500 albums of all time lists. I thought hard about [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Guignol at The Delancy (Free)
Let’s try this again. Earlier in the week I attempted to recommend a Franz Nicolay show that didn’t actually exist. To repent for my sins, I’m recommending this Guignol show at the Delancy tomorrow. Guignol is a circus/punk band and features the one and only Franz on accordion. If you’re looking for something a little [...]
Photos: Hospitality and Family Time at Union Hall
Last night, Family Time (aka Previously On Lost) rocked Union Hall. They’re a difficult band to classify. For instance, at the show last night they played songs both from their rock opera, as well as songs they write for each episode of the television show, Lost. They call their music “recap-rock” and apparently write each [...]
Review: Black Lips' 200 Million Thousand
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KozdgVIGWcA&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0] _______________________________ QUICK REVIEW: There’s nothing new on this album, but if you’re a fan of guitars, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll, then you’ll like 200 Million Thousand. Even though Black Lips aren’t reinventing the wheel, there’s real grit and attitude on this album, with just enough “I don’t give a fuck.” Definitely worth [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Lemonade at Mercury Lounge
Lemonade is an electronic dance band. They’ve been receiving quite a bit of buzz for his tunes that sound a bit like Hot Chip in their layered complexity. If you want a really fun night of good music and dancing, this is the perfect show. Free download below. Listen to the whole track; it changes [...]
NEW SWAN LAKE TRACKS!!
Swan Lake‘s Enemy Mine is probably my most anticipated release of 2009. I recently blogged about a petition for Swan Lake to go on tour. No word yet on whether that is happening, but Enemy Mine is being released on Jagjaguwar one month from tomorrow. Luckily for us, rcrdlbl has three tracks available for free [...]
