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 [...]

The show is way sold out, but it will totally be worth it to grab a ticket off of Craigslist. Both of these bands have “Best of 2010″ albums out, and The [...]

Recommended Sunday Show: Dark Was the Night at Radio City Music Hall
So this is a pretty last minute post (my weekend consisted of going from NYC to NJ to Philly for band practice, back to NJ to visit my nephew, back to NYC for way too much dancing last night, and now finally Brooklyn again- I didn’t have a spare minute to post until now), but [...]

Quick, Hurry Up!
There’s a new National track on the Dark Was the Night myspace for today and today only. You won’t get a chance to hear it again until the comp comes out in February! I missed Grizzly Bear’s yesterday, but the National are another favorite of mine. Keep checking back in the next few days to [...]
