Happy Birthday: The New York Rockmarket Turns 1!

The above photo is what comes up when you Google “happy birthday rock and roll.”  Well, the NYRM turns one year old today.  Just one year ago I was scraping together my introductory post for the blog.  I’ve gone back and re-read it, and I still feel much the same way that I did then. [...]

NYRM Literary Society: Oxford Collapse and Chabon

It’s been a light show week.  Good thing I’ve FINALLY got my next NYRM Literary Society entry ready!  I finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay nearly two months ago, but I’ve been really struggling to find the proper song to go along with it.  I knew it had to be a band with [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Rural Alberta Advantage and The Loom at Mercury Lounge

I think that Rural Alberta Advantage are a little hit overhyped, but they have some good songs, like the one below.  They don’t hit you right away, but are quiet growers; their sincerity gets its hooks in you and you end up going back for more, like a safe, familiar place.  It’s fitting that they’re [...]

I took some photos at Pop Jew’s Julian Lynch show on Monday.  They’re posted at the wonderful Impose Magazine, so head on over and check em out. I’ve posted a Julian Lynch mp3 below for your listening pleasure, though it’s a very different sound from his impeccable live show.  Big Troubles is also a band [...]

MP3 Roundup: Air Waves, Oberhofer, Roommates, and tonstartssbandht

Happy 2010!  I’m so excited for this brand new year behind us.  We can put the Anco/GBear/DProjectors love triangle behind us and move on to new things.  I meant to post yesterday, to ring in the first business day of the New Year, but I was too busy seeing Julian Lynch at Bruar Falls (pictures [...]
