Recommended Monday Show: Black Lips at Bowery Ballroom
Sure, $17 is kind of a lot to spend on a concert ticket. But with the Black Lips, you know you’ll get a good show. I just reviewed their newest album, 200 Million Thousand, and there are enough great songs on there to make this new round of touring worth it. I mean, who would [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Mixel Pixel at Cake Shop
I love Cake Shop. It’s perfect for a nice, relaxing Sunday night out. If you do go, I might suggest their non-vegan cupcakes. I had one last time I went, and it was scrumptious. I can’t speak for the vegan cupcakes, but I’m sure they’re great, too. I am also sure that Mixel Pixel is [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Creaky Boards and The Loom at Public Assembly
I am so excited that it’s Friday. I’m also excited for all of the cool little shows going on this weekend. I’m definitely going to attend the Boogie Boarder/Real Estate show tomorrow night, but I posted about it yesterday and am sorry that I won’t be able to see this show. Creaky Boards are one [...]
There and Back Again #4: Radiohead's OK Computer
This column just keeps getting more and more embarrassing. I’m not sure how I got here. A music-loving young person, a professional in the music biz, and I’ve never listened to what almost everyone would put in the top five albums of the nineties (Or not. Let’s debate!). My friend and bandmate gaped at me [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Boogie Boarder and Real Estate at The Jackson
The Jackson is a brand-new Todd P venue alllll the way out in Long Island City, but these two bands make it worth the trip. Boogie Boarder plays spastic, schizophrenic noise rock (I also freaking love the artwork that goes along with all of their music). Their live energy is incredible and they put on [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Math the Band at Death By Audio
I first discovered Math the Band for my college radio show on BTR. They play synth driven dance rock, and are a lot of high energy fun. For instance, some of their song titles include “Let’s Hear It For Capitalism,” “Following All of the Rules Is Not A Crime,” and the classic “Dinosaurs Were Made [...]
Photos: So Many Dynamos and Pattern Is Movement at Southpaw
I learned two incontrovertible facts last night. 1. Southpaw is a terrible venue for taking photographs. 2. Pattern Is Movement is awesome. I really like Southpaw. It’s a nice place to see music, but the height of the stage and the lighting make taking pictures really difficult. Which is too bad, because Pattern Is Movement [...]
Really Cool Compilation: The Old Lonesome Sound
This amazing compilation just found its way into my inbox via Wye Oak’s mailing list. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Wye Oak for a little over a year now, and I was so excited to hear their cover of “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair” on this compilation of old folk [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Samamidon at Mercury Lounge
Pitchfork describes Samamidon’s tunes as “headphone music,” which is probably about an apt of a description as you’re going to get. Think of other quiet singer-songwriter’s like Bon Iver, but folksier. He even reminds me of what The National might sound like if they put out a one-man acoustic album. Choruses like, “Did you really [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Here We Go Magic at Le Poisson Rouge
It’s been a long weekend. The snow totally threw me off my game plan today, though having a snow day at 22 years old was a pretty great feeling. Unfortunately, most of the day was spent trying to figure out how to get back to New York from Northern Virginia, so I was left without [...]
