Recommended Wednesday Show: Jonsi and Mountain Man at Hammerstein Ballroom
I have to say that Jonsi doesn’t really do it for me. When I listen to his music I always think, “I’m supposed to be feeling something really exciting right now, aren’t I?” but I never do. Maybe I’m holding him up to too high of standards after Sigur Ros. Still, he’s an incredible musician [...]
NYRM Literary Society: Pynchon and Reed
1973-5: the years in which everything stopped making sense. Thomas Pynchon published his long, confusing, disgusting, mesmerizing, break through novel Gravity’s Rainbow in 1973. Two years later, in July 1975, Lou Reed released his long, confusing, disgusting, mesmerizing, and potentially break through record, Metal Machine Music. This pairing couldn’t be more obvious. To be honest, I [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Mr. Gnome at Union Pool
This show is a bit of a wild card, but a really, really good one. Like the Yankees getting into the post-season. (Woah! I think that was the first sports analogy I have ever, ever made.) Mr. Gnome isn’t the hippest band out there- the Brooklyn cool kids aren’t walking around with this Ohio band’s [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Translations, Night Manager, True Womanhood, and We Are All Romans at Glasslands

Well, they’re playing tomorrow night at Glasslands, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you go. This blog can thoroughly get behind True Womanhood and Night Manager, too, also on the bill. As I said in September, [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: Fresh & Onlys, Royal Baths, and X-Ray Eyeballs at Shea Stadium
Ooooh this show is going to be so, so good. Fresh & Onlys have a new album out (I haven’t heard it yet, boy am I behind, but I hear it’s very good), and are known to put on a pretty great live show. And the last time I saw Royal Baths with Ty Segall [...]
Photos (for Impose): Neon Indian and Prince Rama at Brooklyn Bowl
On Friday night, Neon Indian played at Brooklyn Bowl and judged a Halloween contest. That was fun and all, but Neon Indian could not have sounded worse (and I mean that almost literally). The electronics and theramin and guitar and drums sounded like they were being played by four people who couldn’t hear each other, [...]
