Sweet New Band: Golden Isles
Credit on this one has to go to rcrdlbl and my co-worker Ike. I liked the the track, “You Look Good” as soon as I heard it on rcrdlbl, but it didn’t start listening to it over and over until Ike also confirmed that it was an excellent song. I know absolutely nothing about Golden Isles other [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Those Darlins and So So Glos at Southpaw
Oh my goodness, go to this show. First of all, the So So Glos are awesome live (at least they were at that totally epic Market Hotel show awhile back). But more importantly, Those Darlins’ are in town from Murfreesboro, TN. These chicks and dude are the most badass, short-short wearing, drinkingist, making out with [...]
Sweet New Video: Harlem Shakes' "Strictly Game"
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbuV-WNgOKo&hl=en&fs=1&] Harlem Shakes’ new album, Technicolor Health, has definitely propelled them to the next stratosphere of popularity. It’s no surprise either, with its insanely catchy riffs and poignantly-nostalgic feel. Even if Pitchfork wasn’t too tickled by it, they seem to have no problem selling out the bigger NYC venues. And I’m glad, because I like [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Titus Andronicus at Glasslands
On the one hand, it’s a little lame to recommend this show. There’s a lot of great stuff going on this Thursday (don’t forget the We Are The Wiley Benefit) and these Vice parties tend to get crowded really quickly. But it’s Titus Andronicus. And it’s free with RSVP. And there’s free Colt 45. Just [...]
Hot New Band: Dinosaur Feathers
I recently blogged about Dinosaur Feathers after their show at Shea Stadium. I saw them again last Friday night, and their performance at Webster Hall’s totally weird basement space, The Studio, has forced me to blog about them again. Their joyously strong vocals and nice-guy demeanor make them instantly likable, not to mention the [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Handsome Furs at Bowery Ballroom
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS5mbeXHOmo&hl=en&fs=1&] Handsome Furs is not the kind of band I’d normally like. There’s a lot of keyboards. A lot of keyboards. I mean, there’s just one woman playing the keyboards, but it’s a substantial part of their songs. The other half of the music happens to be Dan Boeckner, an essential component of one of [...]
Recommended Weekend Shows: The Holiday Breakdown (plus four great MP3s)
Of course the one weekend when I decide I’m going to take a break from indie-rockdom and get out of this city is the weekend that someone decides to pack every sweet band into all at once. Doesn’t it always seem to work that way? If your 4th of July plans aren’t taking you away [...]
