Diesel parties, generally, are a kick ass time. Anyone remember last years Diesel Circus (which, okay kind of was a circus and not in a good way, but was insane and totally memorable at least)? So when I got this invite in my inbox, and this creep-tastic video to go with it, all promoting some sort of DAY GLO denim... and a "secret" artist AND an open bar, I was all over it. Especially since I ...

CMJ 2009: Fanfarlo at The Syndicate Party
-
Artist:
CMJ '09 has begun and here is the beginning of my fairly half assed coverage! Seriously, I apologize for my lack of updates and at the same time I don't. The career aspect of my life has taken off, and subsequently taken me off blogger for the majority of my time. I really have mixed emotions about this, considering how long I have been writing this blog and how far it has taken me both persona...

Noisettes Contest - Win A Copy of WILD YOUNG HEARTS on vinyl!

Artist:
-
Album:
I love the Noisettes. I have ever since I saw them perform in the dark and cramped basement of Rehab during the CMJ showcase I helped put on last year. They were magnetic, and awesome... singer Shingai Shoniwa is a stylish tour-de-force who you can't take your eyes off of when she performs. Anywho! In celebration of the US release of "Wild Young Hearts" on September 22nd, I have a vinyl (sweeee...

i tumblr for you
First of all, I started a tumblr, called I Rock I Tumblr. This is essentially to aid my short attention span and lack of time to blog. It's not all going to be music related, but just a smattering of randomness and photos and blogs. So you can go check that out. I want to Siren Fest, and Frightened Rabbit were SO MUCH AWESOME. I love this band more than words. I am also currently obsessed with ...

DATAROCK - The Blog
I'm so happy that Datarock are back with new music, since I have a special place in my heart for their geek-tastic dance tunes. This time around the band certainly doesn't disappoint - as you will see with track "The Blog." Anyone who rhymes "information highway" with "to the break of day" is pretty awesome in my bookDatarock - The BlogDatarock - True StoriesTheir second album, "Red" is out thi...

WHEN I STEP IN THE CLUB - Events Round-Up!
These are my favorite kind of blog entries, because even though I just write a little music blog here, sometimes I get invited to some crazy events and parties. These usually involve giving my liver a good beating, finger food goodness, live tweeting and general geek-ery, gabe saporta (sometimes), go go dancers, good djs, horrid djs, etc. etc. So here is a little event round-up, so I can give o...

One of the artists playing the Deli Mag / After The Jump shows next week is April Smith. This girl is seriously amazing. A total spitfire with a huge voice and really cute outfits to boot. I heart her. Below is a video of a song she performed when I saw her at Mecury Lounge a while back. It’s called “Stop Wondering” and I’d like to dedicate it to all of my exboyfriends. Here's the line up
