My Favorite Albums of 2010

By New York Rockmarket | Published December 31, 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: 40-31

By New York Rockmarket | Published December 19, 2010

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 Monday Show: Wavves, The Smith Westerns, and Total Slacker at Bowery Ballroom

By New York Rock Market | Published August 2, 2010

Wavves hater or not, you have to admit that his new album, King of the Beach, is at least a lot of fun. Personally, I think it’s more than that. I might even say it’s a perfect slacker anthem album, and it will be on repeat in my apartment until the weather stops making me [...]

My Favorite Albums of 2009: 10-1

By New York Rock Market | Published December 22, 2009

Well, this is it. My top ten favorite albums of 2009. There was so much great music this year that it feels strange to narrow it down to so few albums. I really did love each of these though, and I hope you do, too. Let me know what you think. I probably won’t be [...]

My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009: 10-1

By New York Rock Market | Published December 15, 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 [...]

By New York Rock Market | Published September 25, 2009

I’m not sure what the best part of tonight was. It was either the fact that Wavves totally and absolutely rocked, or it was one very special conversation I overhead. A not-s0-young man with the exact same haircut as Nathan Williams (seriously, exactly the same, shaved on the sides with a ducktail in the back) [...]

By New York Rock Market | Published March 29, 2009

When I mentioned I was going to Market Hotel to see Wavves, my co-worker told me, and I quote, “that place is a death trap.” Well, she’s completely correct, but it was a very fitting venue in which to experience Wavves. I hate to say anything bad about the place, mostly because Todd P, indie [...]

Recommended Saturday Show(s): Your Weekend Wavves Strategy

By New York Rock Market | Published March 27, 2009

This weekend is all about Wavves. He’s pretty much the buzziest thing out there right now (along with POBPAH). The backlash has already hit after the Pitchfork Best New Music, but I love his album. The first track alone is such a dark, angled introduction to what I see as a an album that captures [...]
