So the Dirty Projectors headlined our After the Jump Fest fundraiser on New Years Eve. I showed up for Neimo, and stayed for these guys at midnight. Critically acclaimed! Not having been bowled over by the previous sets I had seen (opening for Jarvis Cocker and Dirty Pretty Things respectively) I gave them one last chance.....

Leave it to the iPod shuffle to remind me of the good life, namely Datarock and the spectrum that they manage to encompass. 'Princess' and 'Sex Me Up' can whip an audience into a frenzy, but 'Laurie Anderson' demonstrates a deeper sensibility. By gentler I don't mean boring- this is just an amazing song and indicative that Datarock is more than a Devo channeling party band outfit. Besides, no w...

I really really think the new Calvin Harris album is better than this last LCD release (duck and cover) and I want to thank the Disconappers for helping me realize it. I can pay you for the therapy in drink tix. On the installment plan. ANYWAY there definitely would be no 'Merrymaking' track if Daft Punk hadn't played at James' house, but this isn't 2005 either.

Today's post is brought to you by the letter 'C.' Happy release day to the brothers Jarman of the Cribs, and keep an eye peeled for their gig on Conan tonight. To add to the bounty CSS has remixed the lads- pretty much mashed their faces in it, and the result works! Here's a photo from backstage at their Webster Hall show. There were copious amounts of fun and alchohol involved and their tour m...
