Recommended Tuesday Show (and Sweet MP3): Darlings, Equestrian, and Video Daughters at Glasslands
Tomorrow you could definitely go see Final Fantasy and The Mountain Goats, but I would probably wait until Wednesday and see them at The Bell House. Why not check out this smaller show at Glasslands instead? I’m only familiar with Darlings, whose album will probably be on my “best of” list this year for its [...]

Happy Holidays!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfFytk-cuF0&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Hooray! Thanksgiving was delicious! Now we get to experience a whole month of green and red and ice skating and trees and capitalism and Tiny Tim. Sure, there’s plusses and minuses, but at least the holiday season distracts from how cold it’s getting outside. The holiday season also means that the music industry basically [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: The Happiness Project and Do Make Say Think at Bowery Ballroom
The Happiness Project is Charles Spearin from Do Make Say Think (also performing this Sunday). He basically interviewed a bunch of people about what happiness is, and created a piece of music from these interviews. It is REALLY COOL and definitely something you’ll want to see. I have no idea how he performs it live, [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Hex Fest at The Living Room
Happy Black Friday! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I took a quick break from blogging, but I’m back, and just a little disappointed by this Saturday’s line-up. It’s nice that I won’t be missing out on anything as I’m at my parent’s house in New Jersey, but there’s really not all that much [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Screaming Females and So So Glos at The Bell House
I’ve been a little disappointed with Screaming Females recently. They’ve been doing their fair share of touring with big names, and now they’re heading out to support the Arctic Monkeys. Really Screaming Females? The Arctic Monkeys? That’s almost enough to take them off of my year end list. Catch them while you can playing with [...]
Cool New Videographer: Ray Concepcion
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FZN3ngRinU&hl=en_US&fs=1&] I’ve never written about something non-musical like this before, but I think it’s warranted. In the past few months you may have noticed a now-familiar figure wielding a camera at what seems like every show you go to. It’s Ray Concepcion, and he makes amazing live music videos. His muted colors and fuzzy focus [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Dinosaur Feathers and pow wow! at Cameo Gallery
Unless you can shell out the money to see Devendra Banhart and Little Joy (and Devendra’s new album isn’t very good), your best bet is old new favorites Dinosaur Feathers and pow wow! I’ve blogged about these bands a ton, so I probably don’t need to describe them again, but this little show at Cameo [...]
Photos: Times New Viking, The Axemen, and Home at Mercury Lounge
This show happened embarrassingly long ago, but here a just a few photos. Times New Viking were, of course, great. They churned out their noise pop tunes with incredible skill. The guitar player fills so much of the space in the songs that watching him demystifies the recordings to a certain extent, but a great [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Times New Viking at Mercury Lounge
Frankly, I can’t believe Times New Viking’s new album, Born Again Revisited, hasn’t gotten more attention. It got an 8.1 on Pitchfork, but didn’t get Best New Music. It’s just as hard to listen to as their older work, with just as many hidden pop melodies. Listen to the mp3 below. It might sound difficult [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Fool's Gold, Local Natives, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros at Bowery Ballroom
This is a really, really good show. The headliners, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes are probably the band I’d be least excited about, but I’ve even gotten into the grand, cinematic pop songs recently. Listen to the song below. It’s beautiful, catchy, and has been featured on a whole bunch of tv shows recently. [...]
