Recommended Wednesday Show: The Thermals, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and So Cow at Irving Plaza

By New York Rock Market | Published October 13, 2010

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 [...]

My Favorite Albums of 2009: 25-11

By New York Rock Market | Published December 21, 2009

I’m not completely happy with this list. I’ve been agonizing over it for about a month now, and no matter how I work it, it doesn’t seem to come out right. I listened to about 250 albums this year, a paltry percentage of the number of total releases. Even out of those, I only listened [...]

My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009: 40-31

By New York Rock Market | Published December 10, 2009

To recap: As for My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009, I made a few rules for myself. First, a band can only appear once. Also, this is purely about singles I enjoy. For instance, I would never put Harlem Shakes’ Technicolor Health on my favorite albums list, but “Sunlight” made it pretty high on this list [...]

CMJ: Recommended Saturday Shows

By New York Rock Market | Published October 24, 2009

I took last night off. I fell asleep in front the newest It’s Always Sunny at 10, awoke two hours later to zombie-walk into my bed, and just woke up again a few minutes ago. This CMJ business is a lot more tiring than I remember it being. I hope everyone rested up for today, [...]

(Highly) Recommended Thursday Show: White Rabbits, Cymbals Eat Guitars, The Antlers at Bowery Ballroom

By New York Rock Market | Published May 20, 2009

This show is a no-brainer. I LOVE all three of these bands. If I weren’t going to be in Philadelphia for the evening, I’d be right up at the front, camera in hand, watching three of the best bands this city has to offer. I’ve covered The Antlers quite a lot on this blog. You [...]

Photos (Sorta) and Amazing New Song: Cymbals Eat Guitars at Rooftop Films Opening

By New York Rock Market | Published May 18, 2009

I’m very late with this post (the event was on Friday), but I think you’ll see it was worth the delay. I didn’t bring my camera to the first night of the Rooftop Films series because I thought I should take a night off. Sometimes I wonder if my friends don’t get a little embarrassed [...]
