Recommended Saturday Show: I Guess I’m Floating 5 Year Anniversary Party
I Guess I’m Floating is hands down one of my favorite blogs. I don’t always love everything they put up, but they’ve led me to some of my absolute favorite bands of the past two years. They’re completely unpretentious, but still have killer taste. If for some crazy reason you’re reading this blog and are [...]

Recommended Friday Show: How To Dress Well at Church of Messiah
How To Dress Well made it onto everyone’s year end list, more or less. Plus, his whole persona is pretty interesting. He rarely, rarely plays in the U.S., so this is your one big chance to catch him. The show is sold out, but if you’re savvy, I’m sure you can find a ticket. If [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Your Youth at Union Pool
Your Youth was all over my year end lists, and I had a lot of people tell me how much they liked the tracks I posted from them. They’re playing at Union Pool tonight and it’s free. So brush that snow off and head over to Union and Metropolitan because there’s really no excuse to [...]
Photos (for Impose): Smith Westerns, Ducktails, and Bass Drum Of Death at Glasslands
Those Smith Westerns kids are good. They’re good at guitar, they’ve got that rock and roll sound, they’re total teen heartthrobs, and they’re just a little bit obnoxious. They’re all the things we always knew they were, and now they’re going to get huge. I wasn’t sure if the band was going to really get [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Yuck, Total Slacker, and Fergus & Geronimo at Glasslands
Total Slakcer by Meredith Leich Yuck has been getting a lot of play in the last few weeks. I don’t much care for the songs on their MySpace. They have a fuzzy-but-sunny-pop guitar production sound similar to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, but with much more simplistic, punky songwriting. They’re on Fat Possum [...]
Photos: King Tuff and Frankie Rose & The Outs at The Knitting Factory
Both King Tuff and Frankie Rose seemed like they were having a lot of fun on Thursday. Nobody was taking themselves too seriously (sometimes I think Frankie is accused of this, because of all her band-switching), there was pretty good stage banter from both parties, and everyone at The Knitting Factory was putting out the [...]
Recommended Friday Show: MINKS, Family Portrait, Big Troubles, and Widowspeak at Glasslands
Family Portrait and Big Troubles and hey, even Widowspeak (a band I’ve never seen before) have been getting a lot of ink on here lately. But this is definitely the best show happening this Friday. I’ve never seen MINKS. People like them. To me, they sound like Crystal Stils, Girls, and The Drums rolled into [...]
Photos: Lame Drivers, Harpoon Forever, Cool World, and Eola at The Delancey
Last Thursday was a weird night. A fight broke out, I received some really good news, there was some sort of a police raid in a bar I went to, and I kept running into people I used to know. The weirdness kept on coming and coming. Luckily, so did the good bands at The [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: King Tuff, Frankie Rose & The Outs, and Nude Beach at The Knitting Factory
King Tuff is fantastic. Fantastic is my word of the week. But really, they’re fantastic. King Tuff is Kyle of Happy Birthday’s original band, I believe. The music has that same playfully weird quality to it, with noodly but extremely creative guitar solos thrown in every now and then, except it’s a little less precious [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Indian Rebound, Cloud Nothings, Toro y Moi, and Philip Seymour Hoffman at Mercury Lounge
This is a pretty absurd line-up for Mercury Lounge. Cloud Nothings and Toro y Moi could both probably carry their own Bowery or MHOW show (in fact, Toro y Moi will be doing just that on April 10th). Cloud Nothings are very high on both my Favorite Songs and Favorite Albums lists for 2010, and [...]
