My Favorite Albums of 2010

I almost didn’t make this list.  I mean, come on.  It’s New Year’s Eve.  No one cares anymore.  Everyone’s just getting psyched for Ariel Pink or Titus tonight (you should definitely go to one of those shows, by the way), and looking forward to the whole music cycle starting over again in 2011.  I swear [...]

My Favorite Songs of 2010: 10-1

Welcome to The New York Rockmarket’s end of the year list spectacular.  This is when I talk about how lists are fun but ultimately meaningless, and apologize for not posting the last few days because I’ve been compiling my lists.  This is also where I talk about favorites as opposed to best, like I did last [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Sweet Bulbs, Weed Hounds, Byrds of Paradise, Regal Degal, Kicking Spit, and Night Manager at Shea Stadium

Oh man, Shea Stadium’s gonna be a partay tonight.  New York’s concert venues are pretty packed to the gills with fun things to do tonight, but as far as Friday nights are concerned, this show is where it’s at.  First of all, if you haven’t been digging on Weed Hounds lately, you should probably give [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: War on Drugs, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, and Arc In Round at Mercury Lounge

I never like to pass up an opportunity to see Alex Bleeker & The Freaks.  There’s a bit of Real Estate soft, billowy sensibility in there, of course, but also that 70s classic rock edge that keeps the songs moving in their own way.  I recently saw War on Drugs at Rock Shop, too, and [...]

Photos (for Impose): Super Vacations, PC Worship, Screens, and The Surprisers at Death By Audio

I’ve got photos up over at Impose from Friday of Super Vacations, PC Worship, Screens, and The Surprisers at Death By Audio.  The night what just about as I’d predicted it would.  I did not enjoy Screens- their high-energy electronic beats just didn’t do much for me- but Super Vacations, PC Worship, and The Surprisers [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: The Beets and Wild Yaks at Den Pedro

This Saturday is Brooklyn Ski Club’s 5th Year Anniversary party at Don Pedro.  The Beets and Wild Yaks are both playing (didn’t Wild Yaks break up?  Am I confused?), both of whom play super-fun, high energy shows.  Plus, everyone knows that Don Pedro events usually turn into shit shows, thanks to their uber-friendly bartenders.  I [...]
