Recommended Thursday Show: CMJ Day #3
At least CMJ Thursday is pretty straight-forward during the day. It’s the I Guess I’m Floating (one of my very favorite blogs) Pianos day party. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall worthwhile bands including Baths, Beach Fossils, Oberhofer, Teen Daze, Young Man, Braids, and Gobble Gobble. The nighttime gets much more complicated. Of course, part of this [...]

Photos (for Impose): CMJ Day 1
Tuesday was a nice little CMJ warm-up. I caught a few acts at Cake Shop in the afternoon, but nothing compared to the magnitude of the “I’m gonna stand outside Pianos in a giant clump wearing cool shoes and smoking a cigarette” that there was today, and that there probably has been for the entire [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: CMJ Day #2
1AM and I just stepped in for the first time since 10AM this morning. These festival thingys are pretty exhausting. Luckily for most everyone, tomorrow has a lot of good shows, but only a few real standouts. I definitely recommend picking somewhere and staying put, at least as the nighttime is concerned. If you’re lucky [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: CMJ Day #1
Welcome to day number one of CMJ. There’s obviously a lot of music going on this week, and if you do a bit of planning ahead, it will be quite good. While I feel that the quality of this year’s bands is a little bit thinner than in year’s past (more due to lack of [...]
Photos (for Impose): Night Manager, La Bic Vic, and Birthdays at Shea Stadium
Last night at Shea Stadium the rain may have kept a few people away, but by 10:30 a decent-sized crowd had trickled in. Fortunately, this late start meant that I didn’t miss any of the first bands on account of me wanting to watch Tracy Morgan unleashed on live tv, but unfortunately, it meant that [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Hunx & His Punx, The Babies, and K Holes at Cake Shop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, CMJ, wah wah wah. For some mysterious reason, there’s a BOATLOAD of bands in town this coming week, and the city is ripe with amazing shows this Saturday as a result. Maybe you want to see Los Campesinos. Maybe you want to see King Khan. Maybe Turbo Fruits. Maybe Rasputina. Maybe Web [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Deerhunter and Real Estate at Webster Hall
There’s a lot going on tomorrow night. But I have one question for you. Have you heard Halcyon Digest? Have you heard Halcyon Digest? It’s beautiful. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Really, listen to it if you haven’t. Listen to it, and then read this review. I won’t even say anymore, because he says everything I could. Regardless [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: My Teenage Stride, The Surprisers, Easter Vomit, and Lame Drivers at The Delancey
When it comes to my 24-year-old self being proud of my 21-year-old self (not that they’re that different, but I certainly don’t mean to be self-congratulatory), there are few instances when I am more so than with My Teenage Stride. They were the second ever band I ever booked. I actually don’t remember how it [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: The Thermals, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and So Cow at Irving Plaza
Now that Irving Plaza is called Irving Plaza again, I feel that it’s ok to recommend shows there. It was, after all, the first venue I ever went to in NYC. While it does seem slightly ridiculous to see all three of these bands in such a large venue (remember when The Thermals were opening [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Bowerbirds and Death Vessel at Bowery Ballroom
It’s funny. I’ve come to think of Bowerbirds as an old standard- one of those bands that’s been around forever and that everyone knows about. Which isn’t quite accurate at all. They’ve only been around for four years, have only put out two albums, and the last time I saw them play New York was [...]
