The Ed Banger crew (Justice + Busy P + SebastiAn + DJ Medhi) absolutely killed it last night. GREAT fucking times. Going to be tough getting through the day, but we’re going to do it all over again this weekend, lots of good stuff going on.
I knew it was going to be a […]
Last night was very likely the last show I’ll ever see at Sin-e and I can’t think of a better way to remember it.
If I had to take an out of towner to see a single band and show them what the New York City music scene is all about, I’d take them […]
Philly went out and got themselves a spankin’ new music festival. Like the Thrilladelphia Music Festival, the Philadelphia Weekly sponsored, Popped! aims to showcase a wide array of the city’s best and up-and-coming DIY/independent acts. The city’s homegrown talent is the highlight of the festival, which kicks off on April 9th and runs […]
FRICTION alums Other Passengers are readying the release of their debut album, We Are All, which they started recording back in August of 2005. We’ve been patiently waiting for this album, set to drop on May 14th in the UK via Something In Construction (Loney Dear, The Silent League). The band will be […]
I’ll be the first to admit that my Afrobeat collection doesn’t run very deep, aside from Antibalas’ Who Is This America?, I have two other albums by the father of the genre, Fela Kuti. Kuti founded the genre and coined the term Afrobeat in Nigeria in the 1960s, which fuses jazz with Yoruba music, […]
FRICTION meets The Mercury Lounge! We’re pretty stoked about kicking off FRICTION at this New York City institution with a lineup featuring Montreal’s Land Of Talk, New York City’s Mahogany and Vampire Weekend and San Juan’s Balún. In addition, David Bruno of Slap You In Public will be handling the decks to keep […]
A new segment of the 5-mile long Hudson River Park is under construction and part of the design includes a new concrete skatepark. The segment, called the Chelsea Cove, is located between Piers 62-64 and will feature a large central lawn along with gardens, winding paths, and a carousel.
With the recent closing of the Chelsea […]
Recently, it seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day to give a lot of the music I buy/download my full attention. Working, organizing shows, going to shows, searching out music, playing DJ, moving, sleeping, and writing for this damn blog doesn’t leave me enough time to spend with a record as I’d […]
Just got back from a week-long trip to Portland Oregon, including a jaunt to Mt. Hood and the historic Timberline Lodge. I love this City, not only because they have a great music scene, but because of the creative energy happening here. So much art and culture for such a small town. Also, Portland is […]
To get everyone hype for Explosions in the Sky’s sold out show tonight at Webster Hall, here’s a clip of them performing ‘Welcome, Ghost’ on Conan O’brien last month. Watch it quick before NBC takes it down again.
Plus, who knew EITS dig Clipse? Read the interview here or below:

is it just me, or has nightlife in manhattan slowly degenerated into a party mecca for the top 40 craving congregations? i won’t bore you with a prolonged rant on the issue, but the good old days at misshapes and sweet paradise (which was just a month ago) have come and gone. so as […]
If you didn’t make the trek to Austin this year, there’s only one place you need to be tonight, and that is People Don’t Dance No More at Element. My Cousin Roy (Wurst Edits) and Jacques Renault (I.S.S./Runaway) will be handling the decks along with resident DJ’s robot Blair and David Bruno.

So I set out to listen to some of the daunting SXSW torrent last night (without the drinking), but was interrupted around 9:25 PM by a slew of gunfire followed by sirens and slight chaos outside my window. Being the concerned citizen that I am, I ventured outside after about 50 squad cars, vans, […]
