Artist: Hotels

Buzz Track: Beard You will love The Burning Hotels   if your a fan of 802s new wave. The latest album was produced by Will Hunt (Evanescence) and Chad Copelin (Starlight Mints). This pop duo has upcoming shows in Austin. Contact: cory@bergenmanagement.com

Childish Gambino  is the artist formerly known as Page Turner. Gambino released this remix of Broken Social Scene 's "Hotel" just yesterday but it's nothing new. Apparently the track is something he mixed while he was still in college, making moves under the alias Page Turner . So while it doesn't feature his white hot Gambino rhymes, it does have a laidback yet compelling beat. Take a listen and see if you think it lives up its maker's former name.

• Broken Social Scene - Hotel (Page turner Remix)

The first time I heard of Donald Glover wasn't on Community , or even his rap persona, Childish Gambino - it was because he was on the cover of a really creepy Village Voice cover . (It makes me shudder, hence not featuring it here.) It claimed that he was a quintuple threat as an actor, musician, rapper, writer, and comedian. It paints him in a good light but the picture was such a turn-off I just ignored him. Good thing I didn't completely tune him out - his upcoming album, Camp , [...]

So last week I travelled to Brussels to join in the celebrations behind the opening of Aloft's 50th hotel, as well as the 1st year anniversary of the Aloft Brussels Schuman hotel itself. The hotel chain had organised a gig at the hotel, but not just any old gig, this was the first ' Turning Up The Spotlight ' gig. It was a chance for 3 new and exciting Belgium bands to perform in front of a panel of experts, who would then chose a winner on the night who would go forward to [...]

Both artists also play a Pitchfork/Brooklyn Brewery-sponsored event at the Aloft hotel on Duffield Street in Brooklyn on Saturday, 10/22 .

When it comes to my requirements for ensuring a pleasant hotel stay, service with a smile was never at the top of my list. Swift and complimentary Wi-Fi, a spotless bathroom (no mildewy shower curtains ever !), mint-condition carpeting, and bed sheets with no evidence of previous guest activity have always been far more pressing concerns. But sometimes you really don't know what you've got until it's gone. I worked in several hotels and restaurants and one supermarket during my high school and college years in Florida, so I know perfectly well that it's all about [...]

Unfortunately we had to wake up earlier than we are accustomed to today for the Farmington Outdoor Series at 1:30. Needless to say, it was a little difficult. This is the last show before going home. We are all really excited to get back. The tour has been a blast, but there is no place like home.

The boys of GBH are relaunching their wild party Cheeky Bastard once again, moving the party to a new location for an every-Saturday affair at a new and really pretty cool space in midtown west--inside Yotel , a luxury but minimalist space just west of Times Square with an event space that looks really unique.

• Hotels - 'Sleep In Fame'

After watching the MTV's Video Music Awards show Sunday night, I was feeling discouraged about music. The show was filled with bad jokes, awkward moments, and nothing original (besides of course the great win for the Foo Fighters). Thankfully some music found its way to me today that snapped me out of the hopeless feeling for the music scene that the VMAs created. The Fort Worth band, Burning Hotels, is about to release their self titled album tomorrow. This cohesive eight song album falls under the genre as 'Sex Wave' (as Mark Schectman of KDGE labels it).

The Chelsea Hotel has closed its doors for what is either a renovation project, an attempt to break the hotel's unions, or some sort of confidence trick. The New York Times popped down for the last night, and found an enthusiast: “Where are all the punk kids? Maybe they don’t know,” said Ms. Ramona, an adrenaline-fueled, self-described “forever teenager” (in her early 30s) who had booked a room, hopped in her car and gunned it to New York City as soon as she heard the news. For a decade, Ms. Ramona has journeyed to [...]
