    Sherlock's Daughter

I'm about 95% sure that I met two of the members of Australian band Sherlock's Daughter during CMJ (at Surfer Blood show at the Suffolk is my best guess). They were entirely charming when we were introduced and handed me a copy of their EP. When I removed the CD I found a metrocard behind the plastic, so I'm very sorry if you lost your metrocard, but so very happy that you gave me this lovely, ...

I can't believe how much they have grown up, and the Johnny Marr addition is great, although I haven't really decided how I feel about all of Ignore The Ignorant just yet. The Cribs - We Share The Same Skies

(photos by ryan muir)After finally indulging in the much buzzed about Brooklyn Bowl fried chicken dinner (two thumbs up, although I personally thought the fried chicken at Egg was better), I braved the Williamsburg wind tunnel and walked over to Glasslands to finally check out Miracles of Modern Science (MOMS) live. And let me just tell you that I was so glad that I did, because this show was o...

    Dinosaur Feathers

Last night we went over to Bruar Falls for the first time (although technically it used to be The Lucky Cat and had the exact same set up + mojitos) to check out The Answering Machine (who were up-beat and fun and basically the exact same thing as most of what has come out of Manchester in the recent past). What I wanted to point out, however, is actually how much I enjoyed beachy indie rockers...

The Mary Onettes
10 days ago

The Swedish really get everything right, from discount furniture to tasty tasty meatballs, those gummy fish treets, and most recently the lovely Mary Onettes who just finished a four night jaunt here in NYC. I met them briefly at Royal Oak when photog/their biggest fan Kyle was drinking with them and documenting their every move for Stereogum. They may be a bit of an 80s alt-rock throwback (tha...

diesel gets dayglo
25 days ago

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 '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!
2 months ago

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
3 months ago

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 ...
