However, considering Harper Blynn (formerly known as Pete and J) are celebrating a record release at Bowery Ballroom, I've got to give the recommended show of the night to them. Madison Square Gardeners and Pretty [...]

It was only a matter of time and, yes, the recapping/agonising/wondering if one is an irredeemable geek (truth hurts) have now settled into a semi-acceptable list to countdown. Of albums, at least. Songs and that pesky decade stuff are still proving a burden. Anyway, glass half full and all, here begin the choice picks from the Heavier ~ Than ~ Air stereo in 2009......... 30 [...]

Harper Blynn "Loneliest Generation" Dec 15 Harper Blynn is set to release their debut album " Loneliest Generation " digitally on December 15th, and they are celebrating the release with a headlining show at New York's Bowery Ballroom on Thursday, December 17th. Download a track " 25 Years " [ MP3 ] Here's a perfect intro to the band:
Bands change names all the time. Witness Beyoncé 's ego-triptastic transformation to Sasha Fierce as just one (pompously overblown) example. So the re-imagining of New York residents Pete & J into Harper Blynn isn't that noteworthy, in and of itself. When accompanied by news of a new release before the year is out, however, it makes the jump firmly into the "write right now" [...]
