Photos: White Denim and Brazos at Music Hall of Williamsburg
I am way behind on this post, so I’ll keep it brief. Last Thursday’s show at Music Hall of Williamsburg was very good. Brazos was an excellent opener. Nothing astounding, but extremely pleasant indie songs with inventive drumming and an impossible not to like leading man. White Denim played a frenetic, rousing set as always. [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Crystal Stilts, and Frankie Rose at the Bell House
Painfully busy today- on my way to Philly for one of my band’s own shows. If I were to go see something tonight, it would be this. It’s Slumberland Record’s Anniversary party. A great little record label with some great bands. I’ve blogged about all these guys before, and I’m sure you’re familiar with Pains [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Art Brut and Surfer Blood at Brooklyn Bowl
I had a really hard time choosing Art Brut and Surfer Blood as the show of the day. First of all, you can see Chicago indie hip hoppers Cool Kids for just $1 at Webster Hall. Or you could go see my favorite Alela Diane along with Marissa Nadler at Le Poisson Rouge. But Art [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Eternal Summers at Cameo
It’s been a slow week so far, but it seems like every show is crammed into Thursday and Friday night. This is definitely the sort of evening where show hopping is recommended. Our favorite Philadelphia boys Drink Up Buttercup are playing at Union Hall and old favorites Shilpa Ray will be at Death By Audio. [...]
NYRM Literary Society: Franzen and The National
I finished this book a few weeks ago, but I was wrestling with which song to pair it with. The National seemed like such an obvious choice for Franzen’s The Corrections that I wanted to come up with something a little more under the radar, but the more I thought about it the more I [...]
Hot New Song/Band: "When I'm With You" by Best Coast
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4vXTGPpKzo&color1=0x384e60&color2=0x2f4354&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1] I know this was on Pitchfork today so it isn’t much of a “find” per se, and I blogged about a track by Best Coast a few months ago after hearing it on Gorilla vs. Bear. When I heard “Sun Was High (So Was I),” I thought it was a one-time deal, but after [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Girls and Real Estate at Bowery Ballroom
You’ve probably heard of Girls already. They recently received “Best New Music” on Pitchfork and their debut album is so appealingly poppy in a surfy, edgy way that everyone seems to be talking about them as a “new favorite band.” Seriously, if you haven’t checked them out yet you definitely should; they really do have [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Islands and Toro y Moi at Bowery Ballroom
Greetings from Los Angeles! Things are weird here. There are palm trees. And mountains. And nice people. I like it. I just saw a taping of Conan, and The Bravery was the band. They weren’t too impressive. I would have much rather gotten to see Creed last night. One of my favorite bands EVER. Oh [...]
Photos: Yeasayer and Tanlines at The Guggenheim
I know I’m pretty late with this post, but I blame it on all of the Halloween festivties. Friday night’s show at the Guggenheim was spectacularly fun, at least from my perspective. Sure, it was a bit pricey, but it was just so darn cool to get to do something I love to do in [...]
