NYRM Literary Society: Marquez and Feist
Back in September, I posted about the Replacements song, “Androgynous,” because reading Middlesex reminded me of the tune. It was just a one-off type of thing, but then a co-worker suggested that I make it into a regular feature. This will probably end up being more embarrassing for me than anything else (now the internet [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Os Mutantes at Webster Hall
Os Mutantes are a Brazilian tropicalia/psych rock band from the 1960s and 70s. They have reunited and come out with a brand new album of pretty good material. You should go to this show because the band is just plain COOL. Kurt Cobain wanted to go on tour with them in the 90s. Look at [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Rural Alberta Advantage and Kittens Ablaze at Bowery Ballroom
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-bSQWRM7_I&hl=en&fs=1&] If you didn’t manage to get tickets to Sufjan (to hear his cool new classical project, BQE), then I’d suggest hitting up the Rural Alberta Advantage/Kittens Ablaze Show. RAA recently got signed to Saddle Creek (Conor Oberst’s old label) and will probably have a nice, long career ahead of them. I’m not bowled over [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Darlings, Snakes Say Hiss, Boogie Boarder, Tony Castles at Le Poisson Rouge

I’ve written about all of these bands several times before, and I recommend that you go to see them at Le Poisson Rouge on Tuesday if you haven’t seen them yet. They’ve been putting in their Brooklyn dues for the last [...]

Photos (and Recommended Saturday Show): Micachu and the Shapes and Mon Khmer at Littlefield (at LPR)
Micachu and the Shapes are playing some of the most innovative, interesting music right now, period. Sometimes I think that rock music, music with guitars, is completely over. It’s all been done and nothing will ever sound new again. Micachu proves me wrong, and I love her for it. A tiny, androgynous woman with a [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Pissed Jeans and TV Ghost at Music Hall of Williamsburg
This show is not going to be for the faint of heart. Pissed Jeans are a hilarious, sort-of hard core band on Sub Pop. Their songs have a lot of bite, but also have a huge sense of humor. On their latest record, King of Jeans, they sing a lot about getting older, including one [...]
