Recommended Saturday Show: Darlings, The Sundelles, Total Slacker, Big Troubles, and My Teenage Stride at Cake Shop
If this show isn’t a who’s who of NYRM’s favorites, then I don’t know what is. I love all of these bands and blog about them at least fairly incessantly, so I feel that this show requires minimal description. It’s a fundraiser for these bands’ journeys to SXSW. They’re only playing twenty minute sets (which [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Woods, Real Estate, Happy Birthday, and Wild Nothing at Music Hall of Williamsburg
The above photo is one I took of Real Estate from a Dead Herring show the first week in March of 2009. It’s nice to look back on that post and know that they DID get the experience they needed and they will go on to do exciting things with their career. The success of [...]
SXSW 2010 Sampler
In exactly five days, I will be on a plane to Austin, Texas, along with every other schmucky music industry person in the world, along with a whole bunch of not-so-schmucky music fans and musicians. SXSW is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it’s my worst nightmare realized. I hate missing [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Diehard at Cake Shop
I happened to be at Diehard’s very first show ever last year at Union Hall. If I recall, I said that they had potential, but needed to have more confidence. It seems like the band may have found it. I’ve really been enjoying their song “Cool Kids” lately, which I strangely discovered in my iTunes [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Quiet Hooves, Bubbly Mommy Gun, and Total Slacker at Silent Barn
I was going to recommend the Cloud Nothings/Fluffy Lumbers show at Monster Island Basement, but decided to go with this show on a recommendation from a friend. What’s the point of only writing about the same bands all the time? Time for some new blood. Total Slacker we already know and love, but Quiet Hooves [...]
NYRM Literary Society: DeLillo and The Flaming Lips
I would very much like to be at a dinner where Don DeLillo, author of White Noise, and Wayne Coyne, wacko frontman of The Flaming Lips, meet each other. I think that they would turn out to be two of those people who seem wildly different from each other, but wouldn’t get along because of [...]
Photos: Danielson at the Knitting Factory
I had been vaguely aware of Danielson for some time, but didn’t start listening to the band until I began my radio show on BreakThru about New Weird America. Putting together an hour on the genre every two weeks has necessitated that Danielson become a staple of my listening, where otherwise they might have gone [...]
Photos: Titus Andronicus, Parts & Labor, Babies, and Cloud Nothings at Bowery Ballroom
Patrick Stickles should be a very happy man today. Last night’s Bowery Ballroom show is proof that sometimes good things happen to people who deserve them. Playing to a sold out house, Titus Andronicus was in the best form I’d seen them in over a year. Minus a few too-bro-y-for-me guitar players, plus a new [...]
Recommended Monday Show: The Morning Benders, Dinowalrus and Royal Chord at Cameo
I am recommending this show simply because the next time Morning Benders play, it’s going to be somewhere like Music Hall of Williamsburg or Bowery Ballroom. Their song “Excuses” has been generating an incredible amount of buzz, and it’s one of those instances where the song is actually just quite good. I haven’t seen Dinowalrus [...]
Photos (for Impose): Akron/Family, Warpaint, Please the Trees at Music Hall of Williamsburg
If my photos from Bruar Falls last night were horrible, then I at least think these are ok. You should go check them out over at Impose. Akron/Family are a joy. They’re one of those bands that really makes their performance a performance. One minute they’re not performing, and then suddenly they are. Performance is [...]
