Recommended Sunday Show: So Cow and Babies at Cake Shop
It’s no secret. I’m a little bit obsessed with Babies (not babies). My friend put it best, I think. When she heard about the show she immediately decided to go. Since they really don’t have any kind of recording out it’s the only way to “get your Babies fix.” Their city-cool, breezy post-punk tunes are [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Blank Dogs, So Cow, Frankie & The Outs, Sisters, and Wild Nothing at Monster Island Basement
This show is ridiculous. It’s like a little mini music festival just waiting there for you to have a fantastic night out. Monster Island basement is a pretty small venue for this show, so it should be really high-energy, packed, and tons of fun. You can pretty much vaguely describe every single one of these [...]

Photos (for Impose): Harlem and Siberia at Mercury Lounge
I took a few photos at Harlem’s Mercury Lounge show yesterday. If you’d like to see them, you can head on over to Impose to check them out. It was a good show, but I’ve come to expect nothing less from Harlem. Despite the blizzard going on outside, they played to a decently full room, [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Obits and Gray Goods at Cake Shop
Cake Shop, Cake Shop, Cake Shop. Some weeks it’s Brooklyn Bowl, some weeks it’s Bruar Falls, this week it’s Cake Shop. Good show after good show. However, If you didn’t see Harlem on Wednesday at Merc and you can’t see them on Saturday, you may want to make Monster Island Basement your destination of choice [...]
Photos: Beach Fossils, Christmas Island, and The Beets at Cake Shop
I’m no Lester, but just this once, fuck it. Cake Shop was filled with the local cast of regulars on Tuesday night. I drifted down into the basement just as the first few flakes of this ridiculously overblown storm were beginning to fall outside, and was greeted by an already busy downstairs with the now-familair [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Harlem and The Girls At Dawn at Mercury Lounge
I just got home from the Cake Shop show. It was pretty good, but I am tired. I’ll post those pics tomorrow as soon as I am able. As for tomorrow, the optimal show is most definitely Harlem at Mercury Lounge. I don’t really like seeing bands there, but these guys will put on a [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: The Beets, Christmas Island, Beach Fossils, and Total Slacker at Cake Shop
The Beets, Beach Fossils, and Total Slacker are all well-tread territory on this blog by now. I like all three of them, and they’re clawing their way out of the usual Brooklyn DIY venue (or Queens venue, as the case may be for The Beets) to play this show at Cake Shop. It’s Christmas Island, [...]

MP3 Roundup: Los Campesinos!, Frog Eyes, Fucked Up, Django Django, and Art Museums
Another MP3 roundup. Let’s start off with Los Campesinos! and their new album, Romance Is Boring. I don’t really like saying nice things about this band, because they weren’t too nice to two of my friends at Olde Club, but I do really like pretty much everything they’ve done. Unique sound + teenage angst = [...]

Recommended Monday Show: Yeasayer at Bowery Ballroom
I’m recommending this show solely so I can justify spending more time looking at the above picture. Not actually, but Ira and Anand with long hair coming out of the mist is a pretty phenomenal image. Anyways, this first of two NY Yeasayer shows has been sold out for ages, but if you can manage [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Golden Triangle, K Holes, and Family Trees at Union Pool
There’s not a lot of breadth to this Sunday’s happenings, but luckily this show should be more than enough to keep you happy. I saw Golden Triangle open for Thee Oh Sees a few months ago, and they are a ton of fun to watch. With many of the same members as the recently-blogged-about-here X-Ray [...]
